EMERGING

like many bands, this one has borrowed liberally from Meshuggah, whether that puts you off or turns you on remains to be heard, yet in my opinion this is one of the most original "clones" without being utter rip-offs. The influence is obvious, but Obsidian does an excellent job of injecting ambience and feel into the music, which is a gripe many people have with Meshuggah (the fact they seem to lack feeling to some)....

either way, this is a great disc for that polyrhythmic tech death metal scene......
