My CD was lying in the mailbox when I got home from school today. So I got
'ed and had a listen. Then I had another one and another one. I was never a fan of Obscura but this stuff is just awesome.
I agree that some solos sound a little too random, maybe the idea was just to add a sound layer of notes flying by.
The material on this album seems very strong however. Not least because of the high concentration of slow, groovey, catchy parts. Just so many good riifs/parts. Deffinitely not your typical tech death release. It's neoclassical without being cheesy and the melodies sound so weird and interresting. It sounds modern and experimental and yet very listenable. The clean raspy vocals doesn't sound like anything I've heard in death metal before.
There's so much different stuff going on. This is the kind of album that'll take a lot of listens to fully grasp.
Will probably be the best release this year. For me at least.
