VARIOUS ARTISTS - Transcending Obscurity Records 2024 Label Sampler

Transcending Obscurity Records


As any reader of this blog knows (and frankly who isn't) I am a big fan of Transcending Obscurity Records. Does that make me bias when it comes to writing about their releases? Well maybe, when it comes to this label I really like their straight up death metal and grindcore releases the most. In my end of year favorite forty albums of 2023 I had three of their releases in my top ten. Nine altogether in the top forty so there you go. 


Now nine releases means nothing to a label that released more than that. As always if I like something then I really like it. If I don't care for it then I just move on. I'm not into the "do the slag" bullshit. So with that said Transcending Obscurity Records puts out a sampler compilation each year to let fans know what's coming out in that year. As well as include something you might've missed the year before.
