Obsidian Tongue from Massachusetts is best known as the band of Brendan Hayter , who had to work here at Woods of Ypres . He took out for his new album with a drummer , a good thing as it turns out . Obsidian Tongue brings black metal , of a particular kind .

Which in A Ravens Nest or hear in the Throat of Time , I can best describe as modern Canadian Cascadian black and black , but less than 90 % on the total of all information collected or pagan folk vibes , plus a dose of intimacy . No alternative instruments , no whistling wind , no waterfalls. No whistles, only progressive black full of atmosphere . The most charming element of this album is definitely the guitar work , high quality riffs and atmospheric long held solos alternate if it is nothing and its forms both the structure and the body of each track .

The more I listen to this record , the less I have to sit and listen to black metal feel even get some style elements match and is soundly screamed at times. It makes me not really matter how this should be appointed for the label agents among us , I just know it's a bit like Wolves In The Throne Room and progressive post-black - whatever bands from North America often ambient and doom in their turning musical sausage. A listening session is in place .
