Obituary at the House of Blues SD

Terror, (gallery) one of the openers, was a perfect addition to this lineup. They always bring out the energy of the crowd, the singer mosh calling and crowd surfing. You will never be let down seeing Terror.

When NAILS (gallery) took the stage, they left the crowd in shock. Their “powerviolence” sound and aggressive lyrics set the stage for the final act. Nails opening was the icing on the cake for this tour.

Ah yes, one of the biggest faces of death metal, Obituary. This heavy hitting, bloodthirsty band originally formed in 1984, by the name of Executioner.

In 1988, they officially went by the name of Obituary, soon afterwards releasing “Cause of Death”. “Cause of Death”, known for its brutal lyrics and solid blast beats, was released in 1990. Still, after all these years, their riffs have never died.

Their stage presence is just as good as back in the day. Their sound shattered the walls of the House Of Blues San Diego, thanks to their talent and amazing sound technician. Along with them, they chose a few hardcore bands that have a slight death metal influence, perfect for this energetic audience. The crowd was astonished by their presence and the House of Blues was the perfect environment for their striking appearance. Death metal truly never dies out, Obituary is a great example of that.
