Form Is Void

“Form Is Void,” Stygian Obsession’s inceptive work, is a harrowing glimpse into the blackest recesses of human consciousness. Atmospheric death metal informed by the best of early genre pioneers that carves out an identity entirely their own, these 6 tracks express an arcane and eerie melodicism delivered through haze and grime. Stygian Obsession traverse their subterranean realms of dark brutality through savage speedy passages and slow, haunting doom with equal facility, utterly engulfing the listener in apocalyptic foreboding. Recommended for listeners of Demigod, Grave Upheaval, Dead Congregation, Gorement, Mold, etc.

"This record is steeped in killer riffs: atmospheric without needing to rely on studio frippery, with just the right balance of eeriness, brutality, and melody. The end result is a collection of paeans to nothingness and existential dread that’s far catchier than it probably has any right to be." - INDY METAL VAULT "Form is Void is a groove-ridden bit of atmospheric death metal. The guitars and vocals sound grimy, surrounding the listener in a mildewy fog. It's a dank pool of tepid filth." - METAL TRENCHES "This is death metal that challenges and melts boundaries, as its noxious fumes waft and infect your bloodstream. This is grim, punishing stuff that’s going to fill you up a lot longer than most servings of everyday death." -MEAT MEAD METAL "Think of a ritualistic Incantation/Autopsy, with elements of Hypocrisy. Add to this a coating of blackened terrorscapes of the sort that Ævangelist do so well, and you’ll have a starting reference point for what Stygian Obsession deliver on Form Is Void."- WONDERBOX METAL "A brutalising effort that delivers on more then just heaviness." - GAMES BRAINS AND A HEADBANGING LIFE "In my opinion Stygian Obsession are a very great sounding old school and atmospheric mixture of doom and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band." - DOOMED TO DARKNESS ZINE "Stygian Obsession burst onto the death metal scene with their outstanding debut Form Is Void and more ridiculously good and crunchy death metal is in store..." - NINE CIRCLES
