Guys, brace yourselves: For the first time in the history of Reload Festival we welcome the legends of Florida Death Metal – OBITUARY are here!

For over 40 years, OBITUARY have been delivering raw energy, dark grooves, and a sound that hits you right in the gut. With classics like “Slowly We Rot” and “Cause of Death”, they have not only shaped the death metal scene, but also inspired an entire generation of metalheads. Their trademark? Powerful riffs, an unmistakable guitar sound, and John Tardy’s inimitable vocals—floating somewhere between primal force and pure madness. 

Whether you’re a headbanger, mosh pit veteran or fan of epic doom vibes – OBITUARY delivers the perfect mix of groovy mid-tempo passages and merciless heaviness. A death metal steamroller that obliterates everything during their live show. 

Prepare yourself for a sound that is as dense and dark as a thunderstorm – and at least as thrilling! OBITUARY will take to the Reload stage for the first time and we are sure they will deliver a gig that will go down in festival history.
