One of my favorite extreme music acts from the UK, Oblivionized, has a new split out with Human Cull. Oblivionized brings plenty of brittle, groovy riffs topped with gruesome vocals. On the flipside, Human Cull is heavy, fast, and doesn't deliver a single track that spans past a minute. Enjoy!

Oblivionized- Abhorrent Evolution
Reviews3 CommentsOn its debut EP, this UK outfit finds a way to translate flashy musicianship into a filthy, disturbing reinterpretation of technical death metal. Oh, there's a bit of grindcore in here, too. WATCH THE REVIEW
Oblivionized- Abhorrent Evolution
New Tracks4 CommentsThe debut EP from the UK's Oblivionized is now getting a North American release thanks to the people at Comatose Music.
You guys know I love death metal, but usually the technical side of the genre doesn't do too much for me. I love death metal for its sound, energy, and offensively disgusting filth. How many notes get jammed into a single bar has never really been a selling point for me. However, Oblivionized have managed to maintain some pretty flashy musicianship while keeping things sounding like a pile of rotting corpses.
Oblivionized- "Born into Decadence"
New Tracks1 CommentLast night, I got a pretty solid metal suggestion from the one, the only JGCSound--so I'd like to pass along the favor.
He talked up a UK death metal band with an extremely technical sound. But what attracted me the most about his description was that this band, despite being very great at their instruments, comes together as a cohesive unit; avoiding the sound of four or five guys wanking off on their instruments for four or five minutes at a time.
It's true, Oblivionized's drum fills and dizzying guitar riffs are filled with a nearly endless amount of detail. I could listen to a track and pull more out of it with each listen; however, the way the music is structured makes it easy to follow. There's nothing difficult about understanding what Oblivionized is going for, and that's what I love.
Dig on the track "Born into Decadence" for yourself above, and here's a picture of their latest album's cover art:
