Desolate, by Ophidian I

Desolate

by Ophidian I

supported by

Dan Curhan Absolutely jaw-dropping technical death metal filled with stunning fretboard acrobatics, creative and engaging songwriting, and a pervasive sense of melody and cohesion that most of their peers lack. If you want to be wowed, get on this shit. I'm still trying to pick my jaw up off the floor. Favorite track: Storm Aglow.

minusoneman2 This is THE lesson for how to brutalize melodic and guitar-wise even symphonic metal to the absolute maximum. Awesome because of its relentless aggression and the phenomenal everblasting insanely good drumming. Even if you despise melo death for being lame you will immediately recognize that this is something completely different… Favorite track: Sequential Descent.

Facepalming Panda 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.

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.
