Portugal's The Ominous Circle delivers a crushing take
on the modern style of dark death metal. Where many of the contemporary
outfits produce music filled with darkness and aggression, this album
takes the atmosphere a step further.
This is a carefully designed ceremonial ritual built from
tempo-varied death metal with strong influences of black metal. Immediate
and captivating, yet with enough depth to withstand repeated listens.
Highly recommended!
