Death metal legends Obituary have released an animated music video for the track ‘Violence’ from their most recent album ‘Inked In Blood’.

The video, which was animated / directed by Balázs Gróf, can be viewed via OBITUARY’s official YouTube:

The band commented on the video: “We had a blast creating the idea for the video and to watch Balázs animate us was a very cool experience. In the world of modern technology it is easy to shoot a music video with a camera crew and high-tech video equipment but we wanted something different. Something we hope the fans enjoy and understand that Obituary, though we are the godfathers of Florida death metal, don’t take themselves too seriously and enjoy having fun. This cartoon is a perfect example of what kind of people we are. Not afraid to kick ass on stage but also not afraid to laugh at ourselves. We know that music is created for fans to enjoy and get away in their mind from the real world for just a few moments at a time and this video we hope makes them smile and laugh with us and at us.” Additionally, OBITUARY have announced a series of festival appearances and headlining shows. A complete listing of dates can be see below. ‘Inked In Blood’ cracked the Billboard Top 100 coming in at #75. This is OBITUARY‘s highest chart number to date and sold almost 5 times as many copies of their 2009 release ‘Darkest Day’. ‘Inked in Blood’ also came in at #8 on the Top Hard Music Chart and #15 on the Top Current Rock Chart. Internationally ‘Inked in Blood’ came in at #56 in Germany (2nd Highest Chart Entrance in Band History), #81 in The Netherlands, #139 in Belgium, #174 in the UK and #65 in Switzerland.
