Music reviews of Osculum ObscenumMusic Review: Impressive black/death metal album.
I'm new to this Swedish death metal group so I decided to check out Osculum Obscenum since its their most well known album and the album that alot of death metal fans seem to like. After listening to this I was not disappointed, the album builds off alot of momentum from the first track until the last they also incorporate some synth to add alot of atmosphere sounding more like a black metal group especially from the high pitched growling and screeching from the lead singer he has three different death metal styles of singing which he uses to great effect on songs like Necronomicon and Exclamation of a necrofag as well as others, occasionally there would be a bland song that didn't keep my interest and if the album was shorter than maybe it would have been better but still this was a great album that had some unique songs I also like the amazing drum patterns. This album was very brutal and has an extreme sound and the guitars just puke out heavy and obscure riffs with some great baselines and fast pounding drums even though there isn't much variety in the sound which makes it seem more black metal which still sounds great. Althotas which is a brilliant song where Peter Tagtgren who is the lead guitar player offers some nice solos the chugging guitar riffs sound terrific and the drums were great its like the tempo speeds up after one minute when the 3 minute mark is reached and then the song ends with an eerie synth sound effect, Exclamations of a necrofag starts with a more rhythmic and catchy intro which distinguishes it from the rest of the tracks while Symbol of Baphomet has a more thrashier style to it which is pretty awesome along with Black Metal which is a Venom cover song and in my opinion sounds better than the original. The song Osculum Obscenum has quite an intro with pulsing sound effects and a speaking voice in the background the song at first starts of slow then becomes increasingly more heavy and grinding its also one of my favorite songs from this group another favorite would be God is a lie which has some very blasphemous lyrics and the lead singer forgot his name sounds really aggressive but trust me this song shreds like a beast the album continues its rampage with some other fantastic songs like Inferior devoties and Infant sacrifices with some heavy drum work and has some melody to it. I really enjoyed this album however I was not convinced and I don't really consider them to be one of my favorites cause they sound like their copying from other death metal groups especially on Mental emotions , they were hugely influenced by death metal groups like Deicide, Morbid Angel and Death which is quite good so if you like those groups then you might want to check this album out.
