Album Description
Available in:
Obscura is the third full-length album by Canadian death metal band Gorguts. The album was released on June 23, 1998 through the now-defunct Olympic Recordings, but has since been reissued by a number of labels, in particular Century Media in 2015. Since its release, Obscura has come to be regarded as one of the most important albums in the technical death metal genre, and as "one of the most complex and technical records in the genre, due to its unprecedented dissonance and experimentation brought by the band's late guitarist Steeve Hurdle." Lyrically, the album represents a further departure from the band's established approach, touching on spiritual and existential themes. Luc Lemay has described the album as "the record that defined our sound."
User Album Review
Insular spires of malevolent sovereignty, rabid cryptograms of impregnable dimension, inundating waves crashing against salient crags in a sea of swords; all churning unhinged in a vortex of impossible shapes and colours. Right-angled mandalas rotate with maddening precision across the sea of vision as earthen vapours are made to fill the lungs and diffuse into the bloodstream until one's own mass becomes sufficient to swallow stars.
Plus, there's a giant pig-head on the cover.
