OBTEST

Release Year: 2001
Artist Origin: LTU
Style: epic warlike pagan black metal

if Tūkstantmetis was a historical reflection based on black metal impulse, then this hands-down kult sophomore Obtest longplay is no less than heathen metal masterpiece, blending rage, will, determination, majesty and triumph into kaleidoscopic battle of ages - ten emotionally diverse tracks shape an irresistible blow with glorious stories from the pagan past with highly harmonious upbeat approach, epic sing-along refrains, trademark catchiness, and battle-ready roar - this is the album that put Lithuanian metal on the map worldwide with tunes that sound equally mindblowing after all these years both on disk and during impressive live concerts; authentic first edition with a twelve page booklet
