Frozen in Time is the sixth album by American death metal band Obituary. It was released on July 12, 2005,[1] and was the band's first album in eight years since 1997's Back from the Dead, the last to feature lead guitarist Allen West, and their last album produced for Roadrunner Records.

Longtime contributor Scott Burns (who had not worked with Obituary since 1994's World Demise) reunited with the band as the producer for this album, though it would be the last time they would work with him as he retired from producing after its release.[1]

Music videos were made for the songs "Insane" and "On the Floor".
