Another Profound Lore release committed to the Severed Heads Open Minds altar. Obsidian Katabasis is a gargantuan 6 songs of glacially paced Funeral Doom with a Death Metal backbone and it's a monolithic traverse through densely layered soundscapes that move through mollifying guitar sections with a lot of space flowing between to forward creeping death metal sections that utilize more haste and intricacy.
A trade of heft vs ferocity. All the while it's incredibly heavy and suffocating through its build but the woven atmospheres of guitar delay, reverb, feedback and ambient noise add a great deal of breadth to the plodding nature and I'd say without this it would be all weight with no nuance. This thing rips!
