Obscure Old Remains

by SADISTIK FOREST

supported by

sashavonkarl74 Defined as the Finnish kings of grim Fun, the contradiction is maybe a trademark here, and while there is not a huge change in direction, this EP is not on par with "Morbid Majesties" but still a lot of fun! They feel different than most of the OSDM acts of the Finnish scene, the thrashy riffs are reminiscent of the precursors of the late 80's but the sound is modern and to name label mates Sepulchral Curse or Revulsion is far-fetched, starting with the vox, not guttural at all for example. Favorite track: Nihil.

Faith There's quite some strong 90's First Person Shooter metal vibes going on here (think Quake II) which makes this a massively fun and nostalgic album to listen to despite its length being a little on the shorter side.

Katimavik86 Leaves you wanting more. Really like the thrashier influences. Favorite track: Barbarian.

about

Finnish death metal stalwarts SADISTIK FOREST return with a stunning new release after delivering a fantastic album in 'Morbid Majestic' which was a refreshing mix of various styles without abandoning their core sound. There's familiarity but the manner in which it's executed is remarkable. Musically, they don't adhere to a particular scene either, much like their label mates REVULSION who put out an excellent album recently, but imbibe the best influences to forge a sound that is addictive and stands out. There's a huge progression on 'Obscure Old Remains' where the sound is more visceral, fluid and even the vocal delivery is thrashier and faster to go hand in hand with the music that's even more interesting and boisterous. This is a testament to the fact that the Finnish death metal scene is going strong without resting on the laurels of the old ones, with bands like SADISTIK FOREST, REVULSION and SEPULCHRAL CURSE on the label being at the forefront of the new wave.

Self Titled
by REVULSION

Revulsion from Finland decimated listeners with their brand of sharp, jagged and irresistibly catchy death metal. There's an inherent groove that will keep you banging your head throughout. Sublime. Sadistik Forest
go to album
Only Ashes Remain
by SEPULCHRAL CURSE

Finnish death metal band Sepulchral Curse have put out a stunning album that's a brilliant blend of death metal with influences of black and doom metal. It's intricate and deeply engrossing. A must. Sadistik Forest
go to album
Grand Malevolence
by DEPRAVITY

Depravity have released a groundbreaking album that's dark, brutal, technical, old school and yet somewhat contemporary in the way it conducts things. It's easily one of the best death metal albums. Sadistik Forest

Striving Toward Oblivion
by VORGA

supported by 470 fans who also own “Obscure Old Remains”

Here's to some more cosmic metal, the Karlsruhe based outfit offers crude yet extremely well produced sound in this earlier effort. Featuring mid-tempo cadences, occasional blast beating, high pitched shrieking essentially, the riffing has this mildly meaty, sensational over-atmospheric tilt that's always well received on my part. The perspective of getting sucked into a wormhole had never felt better I kid you not. Emperor and Inherits the Void in mind, you just can't skip this one. doive
