Like lard planet said, 1:50 into The Origin of Primal Expression its basically a death homage

| 4.0 excellent | lardplanet | February 1st 16 |
Great melodies, jazzy/improv like solos and songwriting while keeping that technical master edge. Closing
track sounds suspiciously like "Deaths" "The Voice Of The Soul".

Obscura return to form this time successfully blending virtuosity, jazz and Death Metal while retaining insane melodic sensibilities. This album flows very well, and the members more than get to show off their skills. Yet I still feel there is something missing. It feels like in all the stuff they do, they hold back. Except for a part towards the end of Perpetual Infinity, there is no dull wank-indulgment (which I love, although many do not), and neither do they go very hard on the Death Metal at any point. The resulting feeling of restrainment is why this is a 3.5 to me.

Not a fan of hyper clean tech death but for some reason this is fun to throw on in the background. Okay stuff.

Technical Death Metal mainstay Obscura return in 2016 with a very different lineup and a fresh take on their progressive sound incorporating shredding metal rhythms with mastery of all instruments they touch. The most impressive element to this album is the songwriting because many other artists in similar genres just can't seem to find a balance between structure, themes and building up to truly great climaxes in between all of the shredding. Obscura have seemingly revived a Death influence into their sound and the balance it provides is key to the success of this record. The major qualm here, and many others have said it, is the last track. It takes up about 25% of the runtime and departs from the rest of the tracks into a more grandiose and progressive theme. That isn't always a bad thing but it ins't nearly the same quality as the first seven tracks, all of which are great to masterful. Akroasis, the title track, is a masterpiece with excellence also found in The Monist, Ode to the Sun and Ten Sephiroth.

Excellent record from one of the best bands in modern technical death metal scene and their album so far in my opinion. My favorite songs here are the title track, "Ten Sepiroth", "Ode to the Sun" and "Sermon of the Seven Suns".

There's some awesome musicianship on here and it's probably their most diverse album, but they're still basically a one-trick pony.

Some pretty good death metal that shows that the musicians are all very proficient with their respective instruments. I just wish they would have gone even crazier with it.

Tech drawn back a smidgeon. Slower and more progressive than ever. Catchier than Omnivium, but not as catchy as Cosmogenesis. I'd say it's their best. Hoping that they'll be more intrigued by progressive music in the future and not trying to just blow everyone away with technicality.

One of the best technical death metal albums of the decade. A triumphant comeback.

This borders a 4.3, incredible production, technical but catchy as hell at the same time.
