Oblivion are a band from Los Angeles, California that plays a very technical form of death metal with some elements of progressive, black and thrash and this is a review of their 2013 album "Called To Rise" which was released by Unique Leaders.
"Oblivion Part 1: The Chant Of Tyrants" begins with distorted amp effects and melodic chanting which leads to some aggressive shouting and serves as an intro for the album.
"Black Veils of Justice" begins with some brutal guitar riffs and drums which lead up to some death metal growls and as the song moves on it starts adding in some technical elements as well as a brief use of high pitched screams and towards the end there are some brutal blast beats being utilized.
"Between Suns And Lights" begins with some brutal guitar riffs, blast beats and deep growls and after awhile high pitched screams make their way into the music along with some technical and melodic guitar riffing and in certain sections the music slows down for a few seconds and towards the end there is a brie f use of guitar solos and leads.
"Binary Souls" with a clean sound before adding in some heavy and technical guitar riffs along with some drums which lead up to some growls as well as some bass guitar leads and then the song speeds up in certain sections and adds in some screams before going into a slower direction before getting fast again and adding in some blast beats and guitar leads.
