Obituary Booking Agency Profile
Originally known as Executioner, the band changed its name to Xecutioner in 1986 to avoid confusion with another thrash metal band with the same name. In 1988, they changed their name to Obituary, and the name has stuck since then. The band's current lineup consists of vocalist John Tardy, drummer Donald Tardy, rhythm guitarist Trevor Peres, bassist Terry Butler, and lead guitarist Ken Andrews.
Throughout the years, Obituary has experienced several lineup changes, with the Tardy brothers and Peres being the only members who have remained constant. The band's music is known for its heavily groove-based riffs and drumming, coupled with John Tardy's distinctive growling vocals. This has created a unique and recognizable sound that has helped the band stand out in the death metal genre.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Obituary has been working on new material, which vocalist John Tardy confirmed in a March 2021 interview with France's United Rock Nations. He announced that the band's new album would be released in 2022, which was followed by the release of "The Wrong Time" as the lead single from their eleventh studio album.
With a successful career spanning several decades, Obituary has cemented their place as one of the most influential and respected bands in the death metal genre. Their music has left an indelible mark on the genre, and their passion and dedication to their craft continue to inspire new generations of death metal fans..

Frequently Asked Questions about booking Obituary to perform.
Many performers, actors, speakers and other talent like Obituary in certain cases will consider virtual appearances via live streaming. They perhaps may accept lower fees too. If you are seriously interested in booking Obituary or other talent shown on our site, we will research their desire and the specific fee for your live-streaming event or project request.
Obituary's current work schedule and location in relation to your event's type, date, budget, and locality will play a primary factor in the acceptance of booking Obituary for your party. As long as your funding is commensurate with the price range to book Obituary, CTI will propose your event to the official agency representing Obituary. After we consult with them, we will provide a personal and accurate quote that includes: final costs, availability, and actual interest in being hired for your specific event or party.
CTI can give you the accurate Obituary booking price once we submit your event details to their camp. "How much does it cost to book Obituary for an event?" is a frequent question we get. The final Obituary booking price is contingent on many variables and the booking fee we may show is based on a range derived from our past experience with what will Obituary charge for an event. An example fee to book Obituary is in the starting range of $15,000-$24,999. However, any recent popularity change would cause a price fluctuation well beyond this example. Also, their speaking fee might be different than the fee shown for the cost to perform or to just appear. Popularity, career stage, along with current demand will cause fluctuations in their speaking price as well. The final booking price may be more than what is shown, but you should at least have a budget within that range for them to consider an appearance, performance or speaking engagement.
CTI negotiates on behalf of professional event planners and talent buyers for paid appearances! We cannot give out direct contact information of the Obituary agent or help distribute fan mail, personal messages, gifts, requests for free appearances, or donations of time. The Obituary manager and agent will only work with us if we present them with funded offers for their client to work your event.
There is low probability to book Obituary for a party with anything substantially less than the published booking cost price range. We will negotiate with the Obituary agent on your behalf if your funding is in place. By not having funding ready then it will more difficult to book Obituary, because they get many offers to work events that are at or above asking price. It is also important to consider the travel costs when researching the Obituary booking fee, as additional expenses like this, as well as an entourage of staff and equipment, are not necessarily built-in to the booking fee range shown. If your budget does not factor that in, then there is no benefit for them to want to be hired. We do not personally speak for Obituary, but in our experience in booking talent for over 25 years, this is generally the outcome of inadequate funding.
