Obituary Announce 2018 North American Tour With Pallbearer, Skeletonwitch + Dust Bolt
Death metal veterans Obituary will be bringing Pallbearer, Skeletonwitch and Dust Bolt on the road this summer for a string of North American shows.
Obituary had a solid year in 2017, releasing an acclaimed self-titled album which brought them into the Billboard 200 chart for the second time in their career, peaking at No. 184. Pallbearer, meanwhile, released Heartless to unanimous praise; that album hit No. 187. Both releases made Loudwire’s Best Metal Albums of 2017 list and garnered Loudwire Music Awards nominations.
“We are stoked about our North American tour and super excited to be back at the headlining spot,” Obituary said in a statement. “We have been very fortunate to be a part of some killer tours for our last few US/Canada runs as support to Carcass, Cannibal Corpse and Kreator but that came with limits on time and production value. Now it’s time to bust out the Big Guns, dig deep into our musical pockets and pull out some oldies but goodies!!”
Obituary continue, “With 10 studio albums and over 100 songs in our catalog these days, it’s never easy choosing a set list and always causes some serious discussions and arguments amongst the band members so we are turning to the fans on this one. We want to hear from YOU what songs we should play and since everyone has their favorites we are really looking forward to hearing what you guys think. This should be fun, entertaining and interesting so make sure to comment on our social media pages with your top picks......Ready. Set. GO!!!!!!!!”
