Ascending Oblivion is a killer djent
act from Cleveland. They have all the brutality of Meshuggah, the
sheer brilliance of Animals as Leaders, and the awesomeness of
Periphery. In brief, they are one of the best djent acts out there.
The guitar work features crashing riffs with a technical edge, they
brutalize the band while adding melody. The solos are beautiful and
very emotional, it is rare that you get to hear solos this inspiring
in djent, but Ascending Oblivion does it! The bass work adds a lot of
the rhythm to the band. It is part of what makes this group so good,
it adds rhythms that can not be beaten. Complimenting the bass, is
the drums, which show off crazy licks that would only make sense in a
djent context. They have a lot of the raw energy one hears in
Meshuggah tracks. Finally we have the vocals, the growls are
extremely powerful and remind of those of bands like Frozen Infinity.
The sheer might is incredible and it proves to me how amazing
Ascending Oblivion truly is. In conclusion, this band is one of the
greatest unsigned djent acts that I have ever found, and if you don't
give them a listen, then you are missing out on something huge.
