Blistering melodic neo-classical techdeath that just gets heavier and heavier as the album progresses. Listen with a welding mask on or your face WILL be melted off.
Favorite track: Diamonds.

A masterpiece of an album and the perfection of technical melodic death metal in my opinion. Amazing from front to back.
Favorite track: Diamonds.

about
With a clear goal of reaching the apex of technical metal in terms of proficiency, arrangements and sound, OPHIDIAN I has produced the destructive full-length album DESOLATE.
Emerging from Iceland; the barren island in the north, home to apocalyptic weather, eruptions and storms. The breeding intensity, blazing speed and ferocity of OPHIDIAN I reflects the chaos it hails from as well as the inherent beauty and complex harmony. With various influences ranging from all styles, the unique melt of technical death metal - with immersive melody and hooks at every corner - DESOLATE will appeal to all those who seek peak militant musicianship on all fronts.

First WTF was google music actually throwing something good into my feed. Second WTF was everything every goddamn member of this band does. This and the previous album have been on repeat for weeks. All other music tastes like diet water. Help.

You know when a song's chorus or hook just really hits the spot, right in the pocket? This album is 45 minutes of that. 🤘

I dig this album so much, definitely a keeper. Subtly and masterfully mixing death metal subgenres, backed with an over the top production. They're true professionals. Can't wait for their next release!
