Ontological Mysterium

by Horrendous

Ontological Mysterium cover art

Pushing further into progressive territory, the Pennsylvanian death metal outfit constructs an ambitious album heavily influenced by classic 80s heavy metal melodicism. The tracks feature dizzying fretless bass lines, shredding guitar solos, and complex song structures that remain remarkably cohesive and triumphant. It stands as a vivid, highly dynamic evolution that refuses to be bogged down by the usual murkiness of the genre.
