Capitol Chaos TV has published a new interview with Obituary guitarist Trevor Peres and he talked about the band’s trademark death metal sound.

“Yeah I mean that’s what we’ve been doing forever, I don’t see it changing. We’ve always been right on top of that, it’s kind of our flavor. Yeah I’ve seen a lot of critics and so called ‘fans’ implying that a band needs to experiment to keep fans’ attention but I don’t ever see that being a problem with you guys. Yeah we just write songs that feel good, that grab ya. It’s more of a feeling than anything you know?,” says Peres.

On the band’s upcoming Decibel Magazine Tour with Kreator, Peres states, “Well I expect it to kick ass. It should be killer, I mean we’re with Kreator and that’s awesome. I’ve known Mille (Petrozza, Kreator frontman) for about a half a century now so we’re friends already. They’ve been around longer than Obituary and in some ways were probably somewhat of an influence a little bit on us. So it’s cool, it’s gonna be great that two big names are going out together. I think it’ll be good for the fans too, having two headlining names out together.”

Obituary recently released a guitar playthrough video for “Sentence Day”, a track from their forthcoming, self-titled full-length. Watch below:

Picking up where 2014's Inked In Blood left off, Obituary show no signs of slowing down as they continue to reign as Kings of death metal. Recorded at their home studio in Tampa, FL, Obituary is a 10 track tour-de-force of bone-pulverizing death metal that is as heavy, uncompromising and infectious as anything they've released in their historic, nearly 30-year career.

Obituary is due out March 17th on CD/LP/digital. Physical and digital pre-orders are available now via Relapse at this location.

The album art was created by Andreas Marschall.

Obituary tracklisting:

“Brave”
“Sentence Day”

"When writing records the song titles and album titles are always the last things on our minds," said vocalist John Tardy. "We know that the songs themselves are the most important thing, so with this our 10th studio album and nearly three decades as a band, we thought it was the perfect time for a self-titled release. It always helps to have a killer album cover so we worked with Andreas Marschall, gave him our ideas and thoughts and asked him to break out the big guns to create an epic logo and he delivered like he always has for Obituary.”

The band further added: "We could not be any more excited about this new album. We had a blast writing and recording it and having Ken and Terry as part of the writing process was a very cool experience for all of us. We really took our time with the writing process of these new songs, recording riffs and ideas as we went along and recording them as rough mixes then listening back and making necessary changes to help mold them into the songs that we are extremely proud of.

“It's always a challenge in the studio to get the song ideas out of your head onto the recording the way you want but we made sure we were comfortable with the songs and the sounds we were getting before we even hit the record button and it made it a great experience. It's hard to believe it's been 2 1/2 years since the release of inked in blood and we are so excited to get this new album into the hands of our fans. Can't wait for everyone to hear it, hang on to your ass!!!!"
