"These Norwegians are delivering an unbelievable performance in Black Metal - virulent, aggressive and technically very far above the standard. The guys around Obsidian C. are extremely heavy and to the point, filling their songs with surprising breaks and instrumentation. This is how Black Metal has to sound nowadays. There´s no cure against this demolition bomb of anger and innovation!" - Jaap Wagemaker, A&R Manager, Nuclear Blast
"After signing Keep Of Kalessin to Tabu Recordings back in 2004, we are extremely pleased to be working with Obsidian C. and Keep Of Kalessin again. The new album totally reflects the unique musical craftsmanship and the undisputable power of this band - and is everything we ever dared to hope for! You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out that this band will be huge!" - Erik S. Røhne, A&R Indie Recordings
The band will be part of "The Invaluable Darkness Tour Part 2 - Legions Of The Chosen Few" through North America along with labelmates Dimmu Borgir and Behemoth - starting in April.

This band deserves a big label. Good news. I hope that they will be treated as good as best sellers on NB.

Written by Lucas on 15.03.2008 at 00:00 their old stuff I enjoyed but their latest is soooo overproduced it sounds stale and lifeless to me. And yes now they ARE overrated, though live I did like them much more than on Armada.

Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 15.03.2008 at 00:02 Yeah, live they were quite enjoyable though COMPLETELY obliterated by Enslaved afterwards. But I don't hold that against them. Never been able to like any of the stuff, not even the older stuff, though.

come on! they are not overrated! they are without a doubt one of the most hardworking BM (extreme epic metal actually) bands of last few years. They are not very fames and they did not sell out, well at least i hope nuclear blast doesn't fuck em up. They are actually very creative and have guts to step out of black metal averageness, not like other black metal bands who play black metal just to be black metal (and the other way around), and also they haven't lost the touch like many good BM bands. So all in all i have only best wishes for them, and hope nuclear blast helps them on their way!
