He is also considered by some as a pioneer of rap with his 1959top-20 hit Say Man. On that track Diddley and his maracasplayer Jerome Green trade jive-talking insults over a percolatingbeat a precursor to rap performers’ fondness for dissing oneanother. At the same time he has also been cited as a progenitor of hardrock and heavy metal music through his distortion-drenched soundand near-brutal manner of attacking the fretboard.

Hostile route to musical success
Gulf Daily News – Jun 4, 2008
And while he admits people from outside the region are initially surprised to hear Middle East metal the Bahraini says he is just one of many home-grown headbangers making themselves heard. “People from outside the region are surprised when they hear it” he said. “People say they have never heard music like this from the Middle East but there are a lot of heavy metal fans and musicians in this region. For us it is no surprise. ” Songs on the band’s first album cover everything from the US military’s presence in Bahrain to visiting a cold store but despite the eardrum-bursting sound Hostile H is quick to point out that most of the lyrics are tongue in cheek. “The influence if you listen to the lyrics is life in Bahrain” he says.

The metal remains the same
Jerusalem Post – Jun 4, 2008
Amidst the pompous guitar ballads of Great White and Poison who topped the charts with throw-away tunes like “Once Bitten Twice Shy” and the ever-memorable “Your Mama Don’t Dance” Obituary was spitting on graves and destroying speaker systems throughout Central Florida. “It’s kind of an ideal we always had” says the band’s bassist Frank Watkins in a late-night telephone interview. “We always wanted to bring [metal] to another level – we wanted to be something that no one ever heard before. With that goal Obituary succeeded. Their violent mix of thrash-punk and Black Sabbath-style morbidity blew Satan-worshiping teenagers straight through the aging gravestones they hung out by. Now after 19 years of blaring thrash band members Watkins vocalist John Tardy guitarist Allan West guitarist Trevor Peres and drummer Donald Tardy are finally heading to Israel… But not even time could keep the long-haired rockers apart. In 2004 they began reuniting for live shows and by 2007 the band had released their eighth major studio album Xecutioner’s Return. And while they may have matured the hard-thumping album reminded fans that it’s always been about the music. “It’s weird man – I feel the same way I did as a kid but I am smarter now” Watkins said of himself. “We appreciate what we do now. The bassist explained that while the Obituary of today can choke-hold the listener in the same gripping fashion the band has gained a clairvoyance that was unattainable during the thickly hazed ’80s and ’90s. “We have respect now; we act better – we’ve mellowed” Watkins said adding that the band even books its own hotel rooms to achieve the maximum amount of comfort while touring.
