VARIOUS ARTISTS - Transcending Obscurity Records 2006 Label Sampler
Transcending Obscurity Records
I'll just say that this is one of my favorite listening pleasures for the month of January. This compilation release is not just a label sampler. To me it's a bunch of songs from what are my most anticipated releases of the year. Now some asshole will say "you're biasd". Ah no I'm honest, you should try it some time. I am a fan of Transcending Obscurity Records obviously because they release albums by bands who I like. Unless you're a moron I can't see why anyone would not a label that puts out cool music you enjoy.
Now honestly I don't care for everything they release. But I'm old school and remember a time when you would be in a record store. You would see an album by an artist you didn't know but they were on a label which you had a bunch of stuff from. So you bought it anyway because you supported and respected that label. To me that model has not changed as far as common Metal sense goes.
With all of that said here we go to dive into this 2006 compilation and it'll take a few days for me. But here we go and I'll only mention what I like. So VEILBURNER is on here. They're an amazing USBM act who for years now just put out great / interesting Blackened Death Metal. Speaking of hate filled music VIANDE from France sound diabolical as hell. Then again their last album was killer as fuck.
Keeping in on the Extreme Metal wagon of truth we've got CUTTERRED FLESH who hail from the Czech Republic and are pushing the whole Euro version of Brutal Death Metal. Denmark's DYSGNOSTIC are a Dissonant Death Doom act I've heard before but this song interests me. As far as Tech Death goes,and I'm not a huge fan, but Canada's GOREWORM sounds worthwhile.
DECIPHER from Greece are already a band I've written about this year as well as before.Their 2006 full length release is amazing. APOLAUSTIC from Switzerland sound really cool with their brand of Blackened Death Metal. VERDUN from France are a Sludge Metal act who I believe I've heard before. I definitely want to check them out.
Also there's MUERTO a Black Metal band from Mexico, hell yeah. BESOTTEN are a typical sounding Death/Doom Metal band from that hellhole called Portland, Oregon. I'm interested at least. Finally there's ABYSSAL RIFT with some interesting Death Metal sounds from Ohio. Now with that all said it looks like another cool year is gonna happen checking out various releases from Transcending Obscurity Records.
