out June 12: Obscene

"Isolated Dumping Grounds" is the song that Obscene has playing now at the Bandcamp page below ahead of the June 12th, 2020 release of their first album The Inhabitable Dark. Some reviews ahead of the release have been saying, in the usual ridiculous language that reviewers and fans like: "I hear honest real old school death metal here, played from the heart and with the enthusiasm that only experienced gravediggers have" (Deadly Storm zine); and "Well made DM, contains the essential that we all want strength, combination of fast and not so fast themes, chaotic lyrics, recommended for fans of Asphyx, of the first Pestilence, Nominon, and also of the Swedish Verminous." (From Beyond Metal Fanzine); "But as fast and furious as the song is, you’ll see how beautifully constructed it is — segmented by skull-busting grooves, sharp shifts in riffing, and the creation of a certain kind of coherent atmosphere — one of awe-inspiring grandeur mixed with feeding-frenzy ferocity" (NO CLEAN SINGING). Imagery exaggeration aside, this U.S. band should be of interest to customers into straightforward, headbanging death metal. Below is the official release information.

After impressing with their 2018 demo, Sermon to the Snake, Obscene make their LP debut with a renewed sense of ruthless aggression in The Inhabitable Dark. They entered Earth Analog Studios in Tolono, IL in summer of 2018 to lay down 8 tracks of death metal fury. Not adhering to any sort of 'caveman' or 'cavernous' trend in the current climate, this album harkens back to the early Florida and Dutch death metal scene as well as nods to U.K., Scandinavia, New York, touches of vicious thrash and riff oriented traditional heavy metal to go along with an unhinged acidic vocal style. Artwork provided by cult artist and legendary great, Mark Riddick in one of his best works. Come with Obscene down in The Inhabitable Dark!
