Odiosior are a duo from Finland that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording plays a very raw, atmospheric, melodic and old school form of black metal and this is a review of their 2020 album "Syvyyksista" which will be released on Halloween by Purity Through Fire.
A very fast and raw sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Most of the music is also very heavily rooted in the mid 90's Finnish style while the synths also gives the songs more of a raw feeling as well as the vocals being mostly grim yet high pitched black metal screams.
The riffs also add in a great amount of melody while the songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with some growling vocals also being added into certain sections of the recording as well as some of the riffing also adding in touches of black'n'roll, one track also introduces clean singing and spoken word parts onto the recording and the last few songs are also very long and epic in length.
On this recording Odiosior remain true to the raw, melodic, old school and atmospheric style of black metal that was established on the previous release. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in Finnish and cover the human qualities that make man worthless and weak.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Odiosior and if you are a fan of raw, melodic, old school and atmospheric black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Viha Minussa" "Syvyyyksista" and "Sotaan". 8 out of 10.
