Black lining ...

Enthroned and the literal Satan, together like bakers and flour. Just include the obligatory line-up changes to Enthroned. It's almost a surprise when the band actually manages two slices at a time in the same band constellation to stomp out of the ground. That's what happened but actually on Enthroneds ninth studio album * * Obsidium 2012. March gang boss Nornagest had continued at the established forces of Neraath (guitar, keyboards), Phorgath (bass) and Garghuf (drums) recorded.

A circumstance of course, not necessarily had to have an influence on the musical quality. There are plenty of examples of positive change for a line-up changes, just as there are plenty of negative examples. The direct predecessor * Pentagrammaton * I have provided Black bloodbath with the title and a 4 star rating. And * * Obsidium closes almost seamlessly from this black carnage.

The album is brutal, the sound is dark, oppressive and with massive guitars. The production is compact and the songs are clearly structured. A storm surge of aggression, clenched with simple but strong riffs thundering out of the speakers. The band has a strong potential is still not exhausted and over again can create small, fast hatred scraps and atmospherically dense hymns with lots of rich variety. May be mentioned here just the songs * Sepulchred Within Opaque Slumber *, * Oblivious Shades *, * Final Archictect * and * Petraolevm Salvia * called, include the strong black metal lining. * Thy Blight Vacuum * at the end of the disc, however seems almost unspectacular and proves the composer as Nornagest occasionally may also tend to minor carelessness.

Obsidium is a whole neither revolution nor a new innovation in the Black Metal genre, but it is nevertheless a strong new chapter that will be added by the band. And it shows that the wealth of variations, which this music still has, far from being at an end
