DEATH OBVIOUS "Death Obvious" CD (Transcending Obscurity Records 2025) Death Obvious came out of nowhere to release a debut album that coalesces elements of black, death, and even doom metal to create a harrowing albeit intriguing sound that's strangely both alarming and comforting in parts. Without adhering to any particular style or school, they're just going about crafting music as it suits their demented vision in a recklessly intuitive manner, a cacophony of hurtling sounds that somehow hits the mark. The songs sound like excursions into pitch-black darkness, not knowing what's coming next, while the listener remains terrified, haunted by monstrous and spectral voices coming and going. Their sound might not be easily penetrable at first but it remains strongly alluring, imploring for more time and understanding, waiting for its mysteries to be unravelled with multiple visitations. The Finnish duo are onto something here, having created an exceptional and mature release right off the bat, one that deserves as much attention as it can possibly get before it gets lost in the annals of history. This release is not a rebirth but a necessary resuscitation. For fans of - Thantifaxath, Dodecahedron, Veilburner, Lurk, Blut aus Nord, Hexrot, Deathspell Omega. Show more
