Lauded as USBM\u0092s best kept secret, Obsidian Tongue has been on a steadfast artistic journey since their formation in 2009. They\u0092ve never failed to retain the original mission of playing raw and cathartic melodic black metal as they journeyed further into psychedelic and progressive territories with each release following 2012\u0092s self-released debut \u0093Subradiant Architecture\u0094. While their debut won a passionate following for its perfect union of the grimy and the epic sides of black metal, it was 2013\u0092s \u0093A Nest of Ravens in the Throat of Time\u0094 (Hypnotic Dirge Records) and its psychedelic dark metal that established their name more into the scene and showcased their ambitious nature even more.<\/p>\n
2015\u0092s 15-minute single \u0093The Lakeside Redemption\u0094, with its progressive, haunting, dreamlike and triumphant elements, set the groundwork for their third full length, which took several years of tireless effort to complete. Released in Jan of 2020, \u0093Volume III\u0094 (Bindrune Recordings) was clearly the band\u0092s magnum opus but all plans to support the album on the road became thwarted due to the pandemic. So all there was left to do was write even more music. This gradually led to a creation of not one, but three works: the first being 2024\u0092s much-delayed self-released digital EP \u0093The Stone Heart\u0094 and the second being their fourth full-length album \u0093Eclipsing Worlds of Scorn\u0094 to be released via Profound Lore Records on May 30, 2025.<\/p>\n
In the summer of 2024, Obsidian Tongue, comprised of vocalist\/guitarist\/bassist Brendan Hayter (Thrawsunblat\/Obsequiae live) and drummer Raymond Capizzo (Falls Of Rauros\/Panopticon live) returned to the all-analog Mystic Valley Studio, where their first two records were made, to print their Covid-era home sessions onto two-inch tape. Mixed and mastered in the analog domain as well by Alex Garcia-Rivera, \u0093Eclipsing Worlds of Scorn\u0094 boasts a unique and unmistakable sonic force amidst the modern digital landscape; created with a total absence of click tracks, quantization, or sound replacement of any kind.<\/p>\n
The progressive black metal journey that is \u0093Eclipsing Worlds of Scorn\u0094 takes off immediately with the wrathful sounds of \u0093Orphaned Spiritual Warrior\u0094 and \u0093Snakeskin Tunnel Colony\u0094, easily
\nthe band\u0092s two heaviest tracks to date. These flow directly into the apocalyptic title track, and onto the vulnerable and surreal sounds of \u0093To Forgive Oneself\u0094 leading into the acoustic instrumental \u0093\u0085And Still They Dream\u0094. This dream ends with the triumphant \u0093Theater of Smoke & Wind\u0094, a true psychedelic black metal classic that still evokes some of the original feeling found on the band\u0092s \u0093Subradiant Architecture\u0094 debut.<\/p>\n
16 years into the band\u0092s existence, Obsidian Tongue clearly show no signs of running out of new ways to alter their sound – song by song, album by album. <\/p>\n
