Earth Rot - Black Tides Of Obscurity

Oh man - this one is masterful. Earth Rot are a one of a kind band emerging from the Australian void. Their punishing sonic assault is one of a kind and full of meaty riffs. The unyielding sonic assault that they unveil on Black Tides Of Obscurity is vicious, the sort of bloodthirsty madness that seems to only see the band grow stronger with each passing song. The clear savagery painted on tracks like 'Serpent's Ocean' is on par with the madness broadcast by their Season of Mist labelmates Necrowretch and Impaled Nazarene.

The groups brand of blackened death metal definitely errs more on the side of black metal as they conjure up grandiose soundscapes and demonic imagery. Earth Rot conjure up more than just hellish soundscapes though. Tee band has the ability to draw the listener into a sonic journey that they can't help but to adore. As you delve the depths with this band they unveil all manner of twisted realities and seem to revel in the burning wreckage they've crafted here. Incredibly tight and wonderfully thought out - Earth Rot have really reached the next level with what they do on Black Tides Of Obscurity.

Six years of being in a band in the most isolated city on earth is going to make for a unique sound and wonderfully twisted approach. Earth Rot deliver all that and more on Black Tides Of Obscurity as they descend screaming into the pit. the devilish invocations on 'Mind Killer' only prove that this is a truly demented band. Intense, demonic and always willing to go for the throat, Black Tides Of Obscurity is a freakish record and one that demands multiple listens, otherwise you may just get your brains beat out of you.
