OBSIDIAN TONGUE
VOLUME III

After 6 long years after Obsidian Tongue's last album, Volume III stands up and demands attention throughout the mystical movements on this dynamic and at times violent album. Brendan Hayter's vocal lashings effortlessly decorate the pulsing emotions that arise from these songs, with his searing screams being at the forefront of the attack, he then turns on a dime to enchant with seriously developed pitch sung passages to keep the pull of the music strong on the heart strings. Lushly atypical chord work, which has always been at the core of OT's music, once again portrays world building visions... a sonic trait most often born at the hands of mythological bands like Summoning for instance, yet Obsidian Tongue build their own brutal world where the emotions are raw and the way they torment the mind is confusing/amazing
