There is no accounting for taste, I suppose. Obituary has never really been my cup of tea, but Lunah (Lauridsen, Metalmoments photographer) is quite fond of them. For this reason, we ran from the beer tent over to the Marquee II stage and just barely made it in time for the start of the show.

Right from the start there were several rowdy moshpits forming in the crowd, and they kept on going throughout the show.
Ironically, there was almost no life to be found in the band. They were mostly standing around, playing the songs the way they were supposed to, and even though they didn't take the time to say much there were still some pretty long pauses between the songs.
Towards the end there was a blasting drum solo in which Donald Tardy (drums) accidentally dropped one of his drum sticks. He quickly acquired a new one though, and the drum solo moved over into an equally fast guitar solo by Ralph Santolla.
Obituary ended their set with Slowly We Rot, which saw the mosh grow enormously in size. As soon as it was over they all quickly left the stage, except for Trevor Peres, who stuck around for a while to hand out his guitar picks.

On a positive note, Obituary were blessed with a very good sound, and I suppose the intensity of the songs were enough to make this show a hit in most peoples minds.
