Haven't seen anyone write much about Obeisance, so it will be me to give this fucker the credit it deserves. Because: it is a real nasty & evil sounding record coming from "Hell Paso". A record that does not really fit into the commom drawer you might want to put it in.
What you get here is some real weird & twisted black / thrash even with some punk elements ( Well I hear 'em...) that MIGHT be compared to VON "Satanic Blood" + Black Witchery sound-wise+ Butthole Surfers "Locust Abortion Technician" weird-wise + Venom / Bathory spirit-wise. Heh, I guess you get the idea now but still Obeisance somehow manage to sound original, pure and trend-free. Obeisance are contrary to their name, NOT being obedient , well at least not to the scene-trends. The band does not serve, and THAT is a good thing. Weird structures and interludes allows their music to avoid most traps set up by the genre so far. (I'm talking black/thrash/war metal) Everything is set up really nice in the mix; the buzzing guitars , the warm sounding drums and can hear the bass well, plus the lyrics are especially great, at times hilarious., in a cool way. Conceptually this whole thingt turned out even better than Lucifer Master LP and that was a really good record imo!
When you find yourself thinking, "this is the shit" upon the first listening, like I have, you know damn well that you'll be getting back to the album a lot . Soooo, bottom line; JUST in case you want to hear some really over- the-top & weird black/thrash you have to hear this band. Don't worry, these guys have the know-how, and they have developed their own style. The funniest thing is , I can very well guess, the guys probably would'nt give a shit about a review like this, and that' would be yet another "plus" for being non-pretentious.
