OBSIDIAN TONGUE (USA) – ‘Eclipsing Worlds Of Scorn’ LP Gatefold

The progressive black metal journey that is “Eclipsing Worlds of Scorn” takes off immediately with the wrathful sounds of “Orphaned Spiritual Warrior” and “Snakeskin Tunnel Colony”, easily the band’s two heaviest tracks to date. These flow directly into the apocalyptic title track, and onto the vulnerable and surreal sounds of “To Forgive Oneself” leading into the acoustic instrumental “…And Still They Dream”. This dream ends with the triumphant “Theater of Smoke & Wind”, a true psychedelic black metal classic that still evokes some of the original feeling found on the band’s “Subradiant Architecture” debut.
