the whole obituary back catalogue was re-pressed as of late and french label listenable records is responsible. i do have quite a few original pressings but already bought a re-issue of "back from the dead" at the end of last year. so now it is about "frozen in time" from 2005. this record marks the band's comeback from their seven year hiatus and it was pretty successful.
again obituary worked with roadrunner records to release their sixth studio album. i believe, that there was no initial vinyl pressing. cargo records from germany released a black vinyl edition in 2011 and this was steadily available since then. i was close to a purchase a few times but other things demanded more of my attention. so i am happy to not have to think about getting another copy and to grab me a nice colour vinyl version instead.
musically obituary did not fuck around. pummeling and no frills death metal is what you get and this is exactly what i want when i spin an obituary record. one of my favourite artworks the band ever had is featured on "frozen in time". super lovely blue marble vinyl as the perfect fit for the cover art. 200 copies made in a single pocket sleeve and an insert. i hope listenable got the rights for the two candlelight records releases of the band as well. we'll see. listenable records. 2019.
