Obituary is an American death metal band formed in Tampa, Florida, in 1984. Initially called Executioner, they were one of the fundamental acts in the development of the death metal genre, and are one of the genre’s most successful bands of all time.
Capital Chaos TV: Obituary has influenced so many bands immensely, what influenced the band when you guys were first starting out?
Trevor Peres: Well music in general I guess, just to play it. My father and everyone in the family were all musicians. For wanting to be in a band and play metal, there’s a lot of influences. Like Ozzy, Sabbath, Slayer, Celtic Frost, Maiden, Randy Rhodes made me want to play guitar, a lot of classic rock stuff was very influential too. But for metal specifically it’s those bands. Things like Celtic Frost, Hellhammer, Possessed, even Destruction were influential for the extreme side. More of our chat with Trevor Peres here.
