Transcending Obscurity issued: While most bands have a familiar sound, Death Obvious have an unconventional, cohesive blend of sounds that I found alluring and it kept drawing me back to it at the end of the day. Even though the album was self-released on Bandcamp earlier in the year, to support music of this kind would only encourage more of such music to be created, and so we’ve decided to give it a proper release along with an additional song integral to the flow of the album. The album also has a new cover in the form of a photo taken by Petri Kiviniemi and there’s a specially made different artwork for merch by CVSPE.

Two songs from the album are streaming over HERE. 

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.
