Obsidius - Discography (2024 - 2025)

Incredible Polish black metal \m/  

   ... Been playing this collection now and then, here and there.. It's one of many in the backlog of things I wish to listen to and write about. Albums all mixed up in the playlist now, and I listen again. The 2025 album this instant is reminding me of the doomy sounds of My Dying Bride, and the atmospheric black metal style of Wyrd. But this isn't doom in here!

It's fine music, either in the background, or as epic & solid frontline offensive weaponry you can wield against silence and tranquility, which I haven't managed to listen to long enough to have yet formed an opinion until now, and even now I can't give a breakdown by album. What I can say is the sound quality is excellent (the production, and the rips) and the group are talented, and not boring, They're playing a mix of fairly typical black metal, not generally insane crazy, but very cool -- and punctuated by lovely ambient / atmospheric interludes. There's some synth incorporated as keyboard and organ-type thing, but I wouldn't go saying "sympho" black metal -- just a nice use of synth, fitting in very well, especially in these cleaner ambient sections, where there's also a nice weird bass guitar twang happening, and some clean male vocals too. Plus all the while, buzzy electric guitar gradually chips away at us.

Currently the discography plays from the start -- yet again. If I come up with more ramblings, I'll be back, but meanwhile it gets a lovely high score, and vaniaradi gets my thanks, for sharing this delightful Polish music with us.
