Not often are band's hard to describe. They all usually fit in some sort of catagory but Boston's Behold Oblivion has set fire to all borders. The band's latest release and debut album Witness defies all odds and beliefs.
The album jumps straight into technical greatness with the first track "Ascendance." The track has clean vocals and a melodic part which fits perfectly and blends well. The album altogether continues to blend like one epic track with virtuous guitar work, mind-bending drums and just otherworldly vocals. Each track is different in its own but some choice tracks such as "No Ones Left" and "Witness" define the albums greatness. The track "No Ones Left" has that much sought after technical djent meets death metal sound with perfect timing that not many bands can claim.
Witness is in my eyes, the perfect debut album for a band. A lot of the time a band will have an album and some tracks do seem to be just fillers that were added into an album but Witness does not seem to be the norm. The whole album, every track, sounds fully thought out and it is truly hard to pull out a single favorite. The band does not just pull out the usual scales and guitar tricks but truly puts thought and effort into their sound. Beyond Oblivion has taken music to great heights with this release and hopefully this band will be doing a lot more in the near future.
With all of this said, be sure to go out and give this album a listen. The much sought after technicality needed nowadays in the deathcore genre has been reached with this band.
MY VOTE
5.0/5.0
