Experience Death Metal Legends Live with TicketPurchase.com

Performer Information

Few bands in death metal have left as indelible a mark as Obituary. Formed in 1988 in Tampa, Florida, the band’s founding core—John Tardy, Donald Tardy, and Trevor Peres—helped forge the classic Florida death metal sound. From their early impact with Slowly We Rot (1989) and Cause of Death (1990) to celebrated runs across the globe, every Obituary tour channels the crushing intensity that made them pioneers.

Their legacy reaches across generations, influencing countless metal musicians and fans. Obituary’s sound blends groove-laden, downtuned riffs with guttural vocals and mid-tempo, pounding rhythms—favoring atmosphere and heaviness over flash. That unmistakable approach has cemented their status as one of the genre’s defining forces.

Current Band Members

• John Tardy — Vocals

A founding member and the voice of Obituary since 1988, John’s distinctive growled delivery is central to their identity. His commanding presence and connection with the crowd help drive the band’s raw, communal energy onstage.

• Donald Tardy — Drums

Another founding member, Donald anchors Obituary with aggressive, precise drumming that powers their groove-forward attack. His playing is a linchpin of the band’s mid-tempo weight and live intensity.

• Trevor Peres — Rhythm Guitar

A founding member known for his crushing, signature tone, Trevor’s riffs and songwriting define much of Obituary’s classic feel. His guitar work sets the atmospheric backbone of the band’s heaviest moments.

• Terry Butler — Bass

Joining in 2010 and formerly of Death and Six Feet Under, Terry brings veteran low-end power to the lineup. His experience deepens the band’s rhythmic punch and stage cohesion.

• Ken Andrews — Lead Guitar

Since 2012, Ken’s technical precision and onstage energy have sharpened Obituary’s live sound. His leads slice through the mix while serving the band’s primal, riff-first style.

Former and Legacy Members

• Allen West — Lead Guitar (1988–1992, 1997–2006, 2007–2010)

A pivotal contributor to Obituary’s early and classic albums, he helped shape their signature sound.

• Frank Watkins — Bass (1989–2010)

A key part of many influential releases, his work remains foundational to Obituary’s legacy.

Obituary’s catalog is packed with fan staples—from “Slowly We Rot,” “Chopped in Half,” and “Cause of Death” to “The End Complete,” “Redneck Stomp,” and “Ten Thousand Ways to Die.” Albums like The End Complete (1992), World Demise (1994), and Inked in Blood (2014) showcase the band’s evolution while staying true to their roots. Across decades, their music remains a benchmark for heavy, groove-driven brutality.

Live, Obituary delivers straightforward, high-energy performances that put the music first—minimalist production, maximum impact. John Tardy’s unmistakable vocals, tight musicianship, and intense crowd interaction make each Obituary concert a communal release. It’s no surprise their shows often sell out in major markets.
