thrash guitar work of the majority of thetunes and some more death metal influencedtremolo picking and structures("The Problem of Evil", also standing outfor the robo-vocals and the rather melodicemotive outro)."No Religion Know Peace" is short sampleladen atmospheric piece that will hookyou right in and begs repeated listens dueto its brevity. Though at first the songtitles seem typical of the genres, as youdelve into the lyrics they appear wellthought out and rather poignant in places(not to say that the album lacks somebona fide black metal clichés in places,but it all adds to the effect)."Under the Hellspell" is a mid-paced rompthrough Celtic Frost in Ministry's dunebuggy."The Absurd Song" is another midtempotune that shows NOP mutatinghard rock rhythms to their own twistedvision and topping it with black metal andgothic vocals. "DCLXVI" has some greatepic sounding haunting piece. "Still Waiting"again ventures into new ground withsome nice fast and melodic guitar andvocal work. Over the course of the record,I realized these guys are over the metalmap in terms of sound, yet have a senseof song writing that makes it all cohesive.I was rather surprised at the high level ofquality of the recording as well as composition,in a scene that is too saturatedwith half-assed attempts at such sounds.This band is definitely sincere, and extremelytalented. They are recommendedto everyone looking for a new vitamin intheir extreme metal diet. Here's to manymore slices of experimenting metal madnessfrom this outfit. The band's mastermindBen is also organizing a Pink Floydtribute album (??!!) which will surely be atrip in itself.SuleimanOBLIVEONCarnivore MothermouthRelease: 1999Label: Hypnotic RecordsAvantgenre: Industrial Cyber Dark Thrash MetalDuration: 39:26Origin: CanadaOfficial site:http://www.myspace.com/obliveonmusicguitar textures juxtaposed to create an.............................................................................................................................................One of the most underrated extreme metaloutfits of all time, this band's swan-songwas a genre defining work that put mostother bands of this ilk to shame.This, along with Ministry's Psalm 69,SYL's City and Red Harvest's Cold DarkMatter, pretty much is the standard forcyber metal, though being very differentfrom them. Imagine the perfect cyberthrash outfit, forgoing the generic chuggachugga, cheap synth tweaks and basicnu-metallish tendencies of most 'industrial'metal outfits for a maturity bornfrom a more musically proficient background,with layers of intricacy providinga cohesive and dark listening experience.The sound is a mix of cutting-edge heavythrash with plenty of stop-start riffing anddissonant chords (ala Killing Joke)splashed here and there, eerie soundingelectronica (without resorting to clich és)and a mix of extremely powerful gothicvocals and more typical thrashgrowls/rasps. The end result is a uniquesonic signature that deserves to be heard
