Obscure Sphinx - Anaesthetic Inhalation Ritual

Finally got around to this. Not bad. Good female vocals. I can't put a tag on this however. Post-metal/sludge possibly?

I agree, very good unique female vocals with a nice deconstructed sound which is strangely intoxicating.

Agreed. The song structures are very repetitive within them which is why I get a post-metal vibe. I love long, drawned-out passages...

I secondly agree. They do get a little repetitive, and at times I feel that the music is focusing on a single dimension of metal and taking it to a greater extreme while taking that element to its [attempted] artistic maximum within the genre. That element I feel is the very harshness found in distortion. it doesn't try to go all out in energy but the vocals (\a beautiful and unique approach to typically growled or shouted lyrics) to even the booming distortion of the guitars being so up front.

When I look back at what I've written for the review, I find myself surprised that my opinion hasn't changed.

Very good and . OS manages to keep me interested for every single second of this album but I'm not a big fan of clean vocals during the lower notes, which could be surprising as most others seem to adore the singer.

If your opinion hasn't changed, then why rate it a 10 and not a 9?

Anyway, the reason I visited this page is because I noticed the 2nd album is currently #1 in the top 20 of 2013. Will definitely check out this debut as well if I like their new album.

It was a 10 but I toned down my exclamation and obvious fanboyism for my review.

This is so awesome that I forgot what I was going to do while listening.

good to see others agreeing with me. I thought most people like their debut more

I don't fucking agree, both are perfect.

Glad to know that
