Obituary Vocalist Checks In

OBITUARY vocalist John Tardy has posted this message on the band's official website:

"We made it to Holland safely and had a great night off in Amsterdam last night. We are in Deventer today to rehearse and go over the set for the London show at the Camden Underworld July 5 and the Walrock Festival in Holland on July 7. We will be playing a couple of new songs!

I have great news for all of you who cannot wait for the August 28 release of 'Xecutioner's Return'. We have confirmed that we will be doing an iTunes exclusive release of 'Evil Ways', a new song off our 'Xecutioner's Return' CD. July 31, 2007 will be the release date for that!!!!!"
