ORDO OBSIDIUM - Debut Album Due In North America In October; Details Revealed
September 9, 2011, 13 years ago
After over a year lurking behind a shroud of silence, ORDO OBSIDIUM will unleash their debut album, Orbis Tertius in North America via Eisenwald on October 10th.
Shifting between sprawling sorrowful black metal and hopelessly despondent funeral doom, Orbis Tertius boasts rich, continually developing compositions that set it apart from the glut of static and insipid modern bands of the genre.
In the uncompromising spirit of the ‘90s, Orbis Tertius was committed to two-inch tape in August of 2010, at Louder Studios in California (WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM, WEAKLING, THRONES, MELVINS, etc.) standing in vehement opposition to the sterility and over-compression of most contemporary metal.
With striking cover art by Ba’al Graphics and layout by Erebus Studio, the five-track offering sounds like a mix of early EMPEROR, MORTIFERA and early KATATONIA.
Orbis Tertius tracklisting:
'Nequaquam Vacuum'
'Into The Gates Of Madness'
'Orbis Tertius'
'Emptiness Under The Moon'
'By His Unflinching Hand'
