Oblomov – “Mighty Cosmic Dances”
The most unique aspect here is the songs “Lost between Emotions” and “Starsend” with its soothing saxophone element in the middle of speedy/blasting dark metal. These antagonists from the Czech Republic seriously believe they specialize in astronomy metal. In reality, the ears are subjected to grim/black/gremlin vocals and tight, tight, often speedy, somewhat technical thrash with some melodic passages. “Nostalgic Idealization,” a blasting, thrashy affair, has a nice melodic solo, for example. The potential is here for something wonderful in the future, if the solos keep pushing things forward, and if the saxophone becomes more than an occasional, sporadic factor. As it is, this is competent and interesting, though not excellent. They should be less shy with the things that make them different.
