Description
Officially licensed from Indie Recordings. This is the Dark Descent Records version. Cenotaph Obscure is the fourth album from Norway’s death metal custodians OBLITERATION. Following their now classic Nekropsalms (2009) and the harrowing Black Death Horizon (2013) the latest offering further expands on the quartet’s trademark sound lead heavy oldschool death metal with distinct flavours of both doom and black metal. Inventive yet never difficult to grasp technical without wankery and obscure without being diffuse OBLITERATION are masters at their craft. Cenotaph Obscure was recorded in Studio Cobra Stockholm with Martin Konie Ehrencrona at the helm lending the album an organic yet in your face production. In perfect keeping with the music the lyrics deal with dystopic apocalyptic themes extinct civilizations and interdimensional portals etc. With Cenotaph Obscure OBLITERATION cement their status as leaders in the Norwegian death metal scene delivering a grizzly yet flawless monument to Death metal the way it was meant to be obscure ominous and unpredictable.- Einar Sjursø ( Virus Infernö.
