Upon switching their name from Xecutioner to Obituary, the career of one of the most successful and influential Death Metal bands began. Hailing from Florida and featuring John Tardy (vocals), brother Donald Tardy (drums), Trevor Peres (guitar), Allen West (guitar), and Daniel Tucker (bass), the band signed to Roadracer Records, a now defunct division of Roadrunner, for the recording of their debut album—the immense and immeasurably heavy “Slowly We Rot” (1989). The album was engineered by the legendary Scott Burns at Morrisound Studio, which would come to be the most sought after facility for production of albums during 1990’s rise of the Death Metal genre. Unlike much death metal preceding it, the album had a sludgy feel and integrated devastatingly slow passages along with obliterating overtures that reached far beyond any point of mayhem that metal had yet to reach; the result was a carnal pleasure for doom, death and thrash fans alike coupling the adrenaline of a speedball with the slow, degrading measures of a sewer at dusk. Like them or not, Obituary was unlike anything anyone had heard before.

The Orange Peel, opened (for the second time) in the Fall of 2002 and has quickly made a name for itself from coast to coast as a great place to see live music. The building was a skating rink in the 1950's, after that it was the site of several soul and R&B clubs, the most prominent was called, The Orange Peel. After 20+ years of sitting mostly vacant, the club was renovated and reopened by new management, but kept the same name. Ever since, national and international bands of all styles have been playing the Peel to rave reviews. Some of the more prominent artists to perform include Bob Dylan, the Flaming Lips, Blondie, Jurassic 5, and Joe Cocker. The Orange Peel is only open when there is a show scheduled. Shows are scheduled frequently, almost always on weekend nights and occasionally up to seven nights a week. Shows usually start at 8 or 9pm, and last for varying lengths depending on the artist performing. It contains a hardwood floor, high ceiling, a powerful sound and light system, and 'the cleanest toilets in the South'. Most shows are 18 and over, although some are 16+ or all ages, consult the club for more info. This thousand-person capacity venue frequently sells out, so if there's a show you're set on attending, you might want to get advance tickets to avoid disappointment. The Orange Peel is a NON SMOKING venue. No membership is required, beer and wine is served, and the average ticket price range is $12-$18 (sometimes more, sometimes less).
