OBITUARY, ALABAMA THUNDERPUSSY
VOLUME 11 TAVERNIf you’re going to see Florida’s Obituary this week hoping for the sort of brilliance and excitement that made 1990’s Cause of Death a genre-definer, check your expectations. That’s not to suggest the chug pioneers have somehow lost their touch. Instead, they’ve ripened their sound to death (no pun intended) over the past 23 years. Still, Obituary punishes with the best of them, constantly reminding the church-burning set that the badlands of Scandinavia may have perfected this stuff, but bands like Obituarywho haven’t forgotten their thrash rootsaid the foundation. Kooze-n-booze rockers Alabama Thunderpussy open. Robbie Mackey
