The Unwinding Hours - Afterlives - VINYL LP

Tombs - Ex Oblivion [VINYL LP] Ltd Ed date 01/13/2023

The Hours of my Wake, the debut album from Finland´s OBSEQVIES, rakes the tolls of the most angst ridden of livings and throws them back at existence by digging deep into the mires of funeral doom. Out of this world, profound and distraughtly deep, this modern masterpiece takes the listener beyond and back with an outstandingly well-yielded musicianship. Not relinquishing the lessons learnt from the masters of the genre, it does tap into the very seams of musical sanity and twists them beyond healing. The path is paved. Obseqvies will make the horror of dying real. There is no beginning and no end, just an endless circle in the process of dying. Double black vinyl with gatefold sleeve and artwork from Greek visual artist and singer Gogo Melone (Aeonian Sorrow, Clouds).

In the heart of Sweden, a stone's throw from the melodic death metal capital of Gothenburg, Thermality was born in 2020. With their roots deeply embedded in the rich soil of 90s and early 2000s melodic death metal, Thermality has quickly established themselves as torchbearers of the genre. Their unique sound blends the nostalgia of melodic death metal's golden era with a fresh and innovative approach, creating music that resonates with fans across the globe. Following the acclaimed of their debut album, InchBefore I Get to Rest, Inch in February 2023, Thermality wasted no time basking in the glow of success. Instead, they channeled the positive worldwide feedback into the creation of their first EP, InchTales from the North, Inch which saw the light of day on June 30, 2023. The reception was nothing short of spectacular, further fueling the band's creative fire. Now, Thermality invites you to dive into their latest masterpiece. Recorded at the legendary Studio Fredman and masterfully mixed and mastered by Fredrik Nordström, this album is a testament to the band's dedication to their craft. It embodies the essence of traditional melodic death metal while paying tribute to pioneers like In Flames, Children of Bodom, Amon Amarth, and Arch Enemy. Yet, Thermality's latest work transcends homage, weaving together diverse styles and sounds to forge something truly unique and refreshing. Heavier than it's predecessor yet melodically rich, the album boasts the iconic old-school death metal drums, prominent in the mix, and captivating melodies that are sure to enthrall. Each track is a labor of love, meticulously crafted to engage listeners in a sonic journey that is both familiar and exhilaratingly new. Thermality's latest album is not just a collection of songs; it's an invitation to experience the evolution of melodic death metal through the lens of artists who respect it'
