California Tech Death giants ODIOUS MORTEM are now streaming their long-awaited upcoming album, Synesthesia. Hosted by Metal Injection, the stream offers fans an early look at the band’s first new album in 13 years.
Listen now at this location.
Synesthesia arrives January 17 on Willowtip Records.
Blabbermouth’s description of 2007 sophomore album Cryptic Implosion as “an awe-inspiring slab of accomplished death metal aggression,” is even more applicable to Synesthesia. Avoiding the clinical sterility of many modern death metal productions, the band created a sound on Synesthesia that is raw, robust, and infused with an authentic old school spirit.
The time between releases seems only to have hardened the band’s resolve to continue creating extreme metal magnificence, as evidenced by Synesthesia.
