Donald Tardy to Chaoszine: “The new Obituary album is finished but we will wait for Europe to open fully before we release it”

Author Arto Mäenpää - 19.2.2022

Florida death metal veterans Obituary are currently touring in US with Municipal Waste under The Decibel Magazine tour and after wrapping it in February 21st in Richmond Virginia the band will head home for a month and embark on the “RedNeck Run III” spring 2022 U.S. tour with Gruesome and 200 Stabs Wounds. The band has made the following comment about the upcoming tour:

“It’s time to put away the leather jackets and boots, bust out the flip-flops and tank tops and prepare yourself for an outrageously, awkward yet undeniably amazing evening that could possibly turn into the best night of your life.

“The Florida boys are at it again and are firing up the RV, checking the brake lines and high tailing it out of town and heading your way…so breaking out the sunblock and prepare to rock!

“The East Coast ‘RedNeckRun III’ is about to go down and we need to know two things…who’s joining us and is the beer cold? Contrary to the Apollo 13 mission, failure is an option and so are shoes…but having a goddamn good time is a none-of-your-money-back guarantee!

“This isn’t rocket science nor have we ever claimed to be scientists or the smartest band in the world… we’re just thirsty, ready to jam and hope you are too. Where will WE see YOU?

“We’re just happier than a puppy with two peters to be headed back out on the road.”
