Candlelight Records has issued an interview with OBITUARY frontman John Tardy, conducted by Dom Lawson. The following is an excerpt from the chat:
Q: What’s been happening since Frozen In Time?
A: “We’ve been just about as busy as we’ve ever been since that record came out. We’ve been playing lots and lots of shows and getting back into the whole swing of things with touring and meeting all our fans and friends that we haven’t seen in a long time. It’s been an absolute blast. We seem to be getting bigger and better offers than we’ve ever gotten before, so we’ve been super busy, literally full-time doing Obituary and it’s been a lot of fun.”
Q: There was a lot of excitement when you reunited. Did that surprise you?
A: “It was surprising, but it also felt really good. It seemed like our time away happened at a really good time. During the break the whole metal scene got quiet. I think it got a little over-saturated, but then I think that all different kinds of music do the same thing. Country music gets popular and then dies back down again. So I think the time we decided to take a little break, it worked out good for us, and now we’re coming back again, it seems like the scene’s picking up a bit and there’s a lot of other bands that have been around for a while enjoying a bit of success too, so it’s been good to see the scene have some fresh blood pumped back into it.”
