Obscenity
from
Oldenburg, Germany have been playing classic Death
Metal since their formation in 1989 and now they are about to
release a brand new album called “Where Sinners Bleed”… their 7th
album, by the way.
At
first I was a little disappointed with this release mostly due to the
production… We are talking serious ass kicking brutal Death Metal here…
and in my
humble opinion this kind of Metal needs a “Heavy” production. The
problem I have with this album is that I find the guitars are sounding too…
“thin”… well maybe I’m a jerk… but the production could have
been more…
“dark and heavy”!
The
music here on “Where Sinners Bleed” is very typical Death Metal and
this album needed a few spins to grow on me… but now I like it a lot. Obscenity
reminds me
quite a lot of Cannibal Corpse and their music is mostly
up tempo brutal Death Metal but not neglecting speed changes and also
with very melodic middle parts, to elude the one dimensionality of pure
heaviness.
This
album is not exactly groundbreaking in any way just good Death Metal in
its purest
form, to put it simply. Just
think music not unlike Cannibal
Corpse and I think you have a pretty good feeling of
what Obscenity stands for.
Do
check this album out if you are into pure Death Metal!
