The American duo of Obsidian Tongue returns to the international extreme metal scene with his second album, titled A Nest of Ravens in the Throat of Time , published by Hypnotic Dirge Records.

The product, which boasts the participation as a guest on the title track of Agalloch, ricoferma the good show from training with the onset, distinguishing itself as one of the most inspired publications melodic black metal of the year. Changing and varied in their structures almost progressive, the disc finds much of its value in the dark atmosphere created by the precious guitar work, made ​​up of melodic riffing, but fast and aggressive, have immediate impact and typical of the genre black. Then the incessant drumming, the dense wall of sound given by a low left to stand out among the sounds of production, and shields the test voice, sang with a scream and overwhelming in tone which is the additional value added to the album. Six tracks all long-term that absolutely can not but entertain and excite the listener, overwhelming them with grit and passionate ferocity. Beyond a final title track A Nest of Ravens in the Throat of Time that overflows with quality thanks to the excellent test of Agalloch, My Hands were Made to Hold the Wind as the episode is perhaps the most successful of the lot in absolute , by means of a dark advance and how that affects the mark. Once more, then green light on for the Obsidian Tongue, more and more masters of technique, variety and power in key melodic black metal.
