Quote:

Melting clocks, trains emerging from fireplaces. It's all very real, but you can just touch it........... until it turns into a hideous man. You just can't look away, but it keeps running toward you until it turns in a car. Then a transformer. And as you watch helplessly, in a trance, everything goes normal. And your left with the unpleasany memeories.

Obscura is like a dream. Not a normal happy one, the ones where you fall, see images you never seen before, surreality. Those rare images that make absolutly no sense, but you ponder them, and they somehow appeal. Or maybe a nightmare, depending on if you can handle the intensity. One of those dreams that make no sense. That's what this album is like. Like surreal art, at a first glance, it may just seem like a mess (a another example besides the Persisant of Memories by Salvador Daili are those painting that just look like a little kid just took paint and spread it everywhere). But it has a meaning, and it's something, it has a meaning, a purpose. Even the cover is surreal. What exactly is that? Why does a human body have a pig head? What is it doing? WHAT IS IT?! Alas, it's odd, but you just love it.

Every song on this is just strange, creepy, insanely horrible. I can't help but like it, as it's heavy, and is really intense. Luc Lemay sounds like a tortured soul, but what is it about? The guitars are harsh and jarring, they can make you deaf if your not careful. Seriously, I think I lost some of my hearing after listening to this album the first time. Okay, I can still hear well, but that's not the point.

The best aspect I would say is the surreality. What does that creepy guitar mean? Why should you understand the lyrics. What is the song about anyway? All is thrown, and like those surreal dreams, they never quite go together. That's what makes this such a masterpiece. The music is awesome, and changes all the time, and sometimes, effects just jump out at you, and they are just insanly out of place, but it's still a great part of it. LIke those dreams, there isn't much of a structure. Songs can just end, like those dreams, and sometimes you think it's going to keep going on, but you just exit the madness. That's what you need to udnerstand about this masterpiece. It's not just that, and that music can sometimes be cathcy. After all, melody is important. As a whole, melody is the basis of music.

And while Obscura is mostly noise, that noise becomes a twisted dream of of weirdness. The music actually is musical, it just takes time to oncover, like surreal art. Be warned, this isn't you Deicide death metal. This is nothing you have ever heard in your life. Lastly, the music itself is original, and I would say that this is just a twisted masterpiece, that some people just don't understand. However, give it some time, and think about it. Like Captain Beefheart, it's another masterpiece that will confuse you and snap your mind. Blow all your knowledge of death metal away when listening to this. Don't expect Chris Barnes. In general, you will never hear music like this again. -amazon.com
