Second re-release of the third full-length album by legendary American Death Metal band.
Clocking in at a taut nine songs in 39 minutes without a second of filler, "The End Complete" may be the definitive Obituary album. The band's third, it marks the return of lead guitarist Allen West and it also marks an impressive leap forward in production. The songwriting and playing on Obituary's past albums had been commendable, and "The End Complete" is no exception in that regard. Rather, it's the return of West and the remarkable production job by Scott Burns that sets this album apart from its predecessors. The return of West is important not only because his solos are one of the band's trademarks but also because he's an integral songwriter, here co-penning four of the nine songs. Burns' crystal-clear, in-your-face production is not to be underestimated, either. If anything had marred Obituary's past two albums, both of them otherwise excellent, it was the murkiness of the sound, especially the drums. That's not an issue here at all, however, as Obituary have never sounded this great. The guitar tones especially are downright vivid, particularly when West and rhythm guitarist Trevor Peres depart from one another such as during the solos (the title track is a great showcase for this, and so is "Rotting Ways"). You can practically feel the respective guitar tones buzzing through your head, they're so well recorded. And so are John Tardy's vocals, which are sometimes overdubbed to make them all the more potent and nuanced. They're so well recorded, in fact, you can actually understand some of the lyrics!
This album is Obituary's best selling, with over 200000 copies sold in the U.S. and more than 550000 worldwide. It reached #16 on Billboard's Top Heatseekers chart. Also, the band's new logo introduced on "The End Complete" is the best selling shirt print in the history of Roadrunner Records.

Remastered re-release of the fourth full-length album by the legendary American Death Metal band.
“World Demise” is a classic in the Obituary discography, recorded after one of the best sold Death Metal albums in history, “The End Complete”. Actually, this one is a bit different from the albums before, but always remaining Obituary style (rotten, down tuned Death Metal). Anyway, it is a bit slower with less fast parts. The biggest fast parts have some Hardcore components, so new for the band. The tempo parts are a bit changed, while the drums are less direct but more various and technical. The guitars as always low tuned. With this album, Obituary still remaining Death Metal, wanted to slow down a bit their music, concentrating the attention on the songwriting. The tracks are more complex, with more tempo changes and they are always supported by their typical atmosphere of death, their guitars so violent and obscure and finally the unique, animal growl of John Tardy. Vocalist John Tardy has always been recognized as being one of Death Metal’s best vocalists, and on "World Demise", it’s not difficult to see why.
"World Demise" saw Obituary successfully grind out another excellent Death Metal record which is easily memorable. The band tried a slightly Groovier style of writing while still retaining the brutal edge in which they had become so famous for in the first plac. "World Demise" is an excellent album, one which is highly recommended for Death Metal enthusiasts, and perhaps the last album in Obituary’s ‘near-immortal-status’ period within the Death Metal community. A must for every Death Metal fan!!

The second DVD by legendary American Death Metal band.
Beginning their career as Xecutioner in 1984, Obituary remains one of the most influential and groundbreaking bands in the Death Metal genre, one that they helped to create.
Obituary, along with Death, Morbid Angel, and Deicide, combine hyper-speed guitar riffing, complex arrangements and guttural screams to create a bleak and violent soundscape that defined a genre.
