      I've always found it funny how people seem to think that death metal bands sacrifice barn animals and drink their blood in their spare time. They are people no different from anyone else; but for some reason when many people discover this they are more shocked than they would have been if they found out they actually do sacrifice barn animals and drink their blood.

    The point he makes with "it`s not about the lyrics, it`s about the feeling" sums up Obituary perfectly. Yes, they might not be the most skilled and trained musicians, yes they are `just` a bunch of cool guys rocking it out, but exactly this is what is so good about them. They are a much respected band touring worldwide yet everywhere they go they immediately bring the feeling of blowing off steam with some friends in a garage. It`s music that speaks to your soul not your mind. And it does not do that with sophisticated structure or lyrics but with unique sound.

    I like everything from death metal to black metal to thrash metal to power metal to classic NWOBHM, but at the end of the day I just consider myself to be a fan of heavy metal. I like that John refers to Obituary as heavy metal. We all know its death metal, but also identifying it as actual "Heavy Metal" has a nice traditional sound to it.

  • @13guitard00d
    @13guitard00d Před rokem +1

    One thing John mentions in this interview that I love about Obituary is the sparsity of the lyrics on Slowly We Rot (and Cause of Death to a lesser extent). It makes the vocal parts feel like an additional layer of the songs, e.g. like guitar solos, rather than their focal point. They let the riffs, the arrangements and the production create an atmosphere that speaks for itself, with vocals adding that extra spice on top here and there. Chopped in Half is the prime example of that: the only vocals besides the intro section (the only section containing lyrics) are two of the most beastly growls in all of death metal which embellish the transitions between different sections. It's ironic that the sparsity of vocals and lyrics on Slowly We Rot was not intentional, but rather a result of John's inability to come up with a full set of lyrics for each song in a short timespan. If you ask me, that's a happy accident :D

    Live in person at a minimally to moderately equipped venue is the best way to listen to Obituary, they’re geared to sound way louder and cleaner, like their gear is active and pre amped, so it pushes hard enough causing the venue to increase the levels exceed the normal maximum wattage without welding all the equipment in a smoking discharge of high voltage carnage.

    John is a musical hero along with his brother Donald and other members of Obituary. Been a fan of Obituary since they were called Xecutioner and appeared on the "Raging Death" compilation album. I still have the original copy of that album on vinyl. Met John at a show in Sacramento and have seen Obituary live in San Francisco and other cities in the Bay Area many times. John is hella cool and down to earth. He is a metal god, a legend, and a pioneer. Such a great voice that is so unique, original, and powerful. He roars across the rooftops of the world, massive and thunderous. Thank you for all the epic music you have created over the years! Can't wait to see them at the October 5, 2019 show in Berkeley.
