OBDUKTION - "
Encounter in a Dream"
NMC Music 2003
OBDUKTION is a four piece band hailing from Athens (Greece), Which made me wonder what I was in store for, having I never had heard from them.
I don't know of to many Death
Metal band's that come from Athens. What I hear, I like. They have a sound that is different from most Death
Metal bands. I heard some Thrash, some
Power Metal.
The guitar solo's totally blew me away. The guitarist shred out some of most intricate solo's that you normally don't hear in a band of their kind. Actually the whole band is excellent.
I don't know if I like the vocals that much though. I think they are good, but I don't know if I like them with this band. What I mean is during the vocal part of the songs, the music is totally Death
Metal, but when there is no vocals, the music takes a different route : It is Heavy, Thrashy, and really likeable.
I guess you could call it their trademark sound, because it is definatly a sound that I never heard in Death
Metal.
They have chosen a sound that will throw a lot of people curveball's, because they sure threw one at me (right-in-the-nuts).
That make's them a very unique band that should not be ignored. Hopefully this release will opens a lot of doors for them. Musical wise they deserve it.
