Obsidieth - Winter (Independent, 2013)


Track Listing:

  1. Into The White (2.14)
  2. Shallows Of The Ancestors (4.55)
  3. A New Reign (4.34)
  4. This Decadent Heir (4.07)
  5. First Of The Nine (5.50)
Synopsis: For some reason I managed to overlook Obsidieth's debut "In Loss Of All", released in 2009, so my first encounter with the band is their new opus "Winter" and after just a couple of listens I have come away from it very impressed. This is melodic death metal done the right way, built around some very solid, heavy riffs and well placed keys that propel each song forward with momentum all the while keeping the balance just right. Obsidieth have also done a good job with the production which sounds full and well balanced and it gives the music the punch it requires so, overall, there is a lot to like here. "Winter" is certainly an enjoyable, albeit brief, listen showing Obsidieth to be one band to keep an eye on if they continue on this path.
