Obituary hit hard with a slow, heavy groove like a ton of bricks on the title track, “Inked In Blood.” Get annihilated with the sonic riffs at soundcloud.com
The track comes off of Obituary’s ninth full-length album, Inked In Blood. The album also marks the bands debut with Relapse Records, making its grand entrance on October 27th in North America/UK/World and on October 24th Germany/Benelux/Finland.
The title track premiered yesterday on guitarworld.com, where there’s also a contest to win an ESP guitar signed by the entire band! Details about the contest can be had here. And, yes indeed, there is yet another contest: Obituary has also partnered with Metal Injection for a vocal cover contest for the song “Violence.” Details can be seen here.
