Death metal legends, Obituary, recently released their ninth full-length album and Relapse debut, Inked In Blood. A stream of the special edition bonus track, "Bloodsoaked", is available now:

Inked In Blood cracked the Billboard Top 100 coming in at #75.  This is Obituary's highest chart number to date and sold almost five times as many copies of their 2009 release, Darkest Day. Inked In Blood also came in at #8 on the Top Hard Music Chart and #15 on the Top Current Rock Chart.

Internationally Inked in Blood came in at #56 in Germany, #81 in The Netherlands, #139 in Belgium, #174 in the UK and #65 in Switzerland.

Almost three decades in, Inked In Blood stands out as one of the finest moments in Obituary's already godlike discography. The riffs, groove, snarl and rage are as fierce as ever, putting most all other contemporary death metal bands to shame. Obituary are THE definitive death metal band, and Inked In Blood is an instant classic amongst their already storied catalog. Obituary are both the originators and the torchbearers of the genre. Inked In Blood is the sound of true death metal kings reclaiming their throne!
