Obituary does not have many "cool" promotional photos. But this is one of the few.

What name comes first to your mind if I say (East-European or) Czech Black/Death Metal? Törr? Root? Tudor? Well, then I would say you are "newbie" and probably discovered Black/Death Metal scene in very late 90`s or early 00`s. But if it is MASTER`S HAMMER name that you spit out immediately (without hesitating a second) from your mouth then you are probably an oldie from early 90`s. Which case is better? If I only knew it myself. Anyway, yeah.... godly Masters Hammer who ruled (and still does) with their demos and 1st 2 studio albums.

Yeah.... original CD version of  "Ritual" album has even 2 bonus tracks. One of the few cases where CD is even more interesting than LP.

Now take a look to the one of the most cool death / thrash / extreme metal band picture (taken in 1984). Pure filth and rawness, just like their music during "Death By Metal", "Reign of Terror" and "Infernal Death" times.

We worship our abomination of desolation, With fire, blood, swords and reverence...

Standing ovations... BRAVO!

Does anyone remember teeny-magazine BRAVO. What? You never read it? See, besides Bros, Roxette, Milli Vanilli, Sandra etc they had also heavy corner there.
