Review: Obsidian Blade – Zerfal (Full EP, 2024) | Blackened sludge
Obsidian Blade comes from Augsburg, Germany, and they seem to be one of those bands that have the rare gift of genre-bending without really a lot of effort.

Demos always tend to be smiled at. They are the everlasting joke of black metal’s so often gatekept “true” form. So raw, so direct, so instant that the record can’t even be finished. Just an unprocessed mess that sounds like recorded by a microphone covered by a can standing in the room next door. But this […]
