Obscenity - Retaliation (Full-Length Album - 2016) Bandcamp Stream

OBSCENITY was formed in Oldendburg, Lower Saxony as a five-piece in 1989 with the intention of playing brutal death metal, and the band's debut album, 'Suffocated Truth', was released in 1992. It was only in 1996, with the release of the band's third album, ‘The 3rd Chapter’, that OBSCENITY developed their current well known style, offering direct bludgeoning death metal riffs, with a Floridian approach to their aural carnage.

The band has taken part in several European metal festivals during the years, such as Fuck The Commerce Festival, No Mercy Festival, With Full Force Open Air and Wacken Open Air, to name a few, and supported Six Feet Under on their Summer tour in 2003.

After splitting up in 2009, the band was reformed with a new lineup by guitarist Hendrik Bruns the following year, and came out with their its eighth full-length, ‘Atrophied in Anguish’, in 2012.

A few years later, Tobias Müller joined the band as the new vocalist and 10 new tracks were composed: the their impending ninth studio album named ‘Retaliation’, and it was released on May 27, 2016. ‘Retaliation’ was mixed and mastered by Stefano Morabito at 16th Cellar Studio (Fleshgod Apocalypse, Beheaded, Hour Of Penance). The album’s cover was painted by renowned artist Paolo Girardi (Inquisition, Manilla Road, etc.).

"No Core, Tech, Jazz, Occult, Slam or whatever called trendy bullshit here! Just plain, brutal and classic Death Metal made in Germany, the way it's meant to be; right in your fucking face!" - Voicesfromthedarkside.de

"Retaliation" show once more, that they belong to the top acts of German death metal. For the new singer Tobias Müller this is his album debut and he does more than good. Also guitarist and mastermind Hendrik Bruns repeatedly enriches his riff-driven songs with melodic guitar solos, ensuring that the hammers are striking even harder!

The war-machine OBSCENITY is hungrier then ever to reign the Death-Metal world with an iron and bloody fist. After 24 years of pure Death-Metal-Mayhem, the story has just begun. So run for cover and stay obscene!
