Still sealed digipak

Dire Omen was a genuine charnel and blackened death metal act from Canada that started in 2008 and kept running for 10 years before calling it a day. A promo demo was released in 2011 and another, Severing Soul From Flesh, a year later. However their one and only album, Wrestling The Revelation Of Futility, took some time and saw the day of light first in 2014. The band started out as a Floridian-tempered death metal sounding act but in time of their debut they had evolved into a more chaotic and calamitous death and black act much like their countrymen Antediluvian, Mitochondrion, Aurochs and Adversarial. Highly riff-focused, with blocky palm-muted rhythm guitars used to break up the blasting, frothy tremolo picked patterns while still being very much rooted in the Morbid Angel, Deicide and Incantation styles of the earlier 90s. The sound quality is hard to deal with. It’s like a Death Metal band trying to sound as an early Black Metal band but the music is interesting while being chaotic. Unhappy, unhealthy stuff here, an unholy, raw conglomeration of their cavernous peers and influences with faint traces of that forgotten, ogrish riff-salad reminiscent of old, old Kataklysm, Disharmonic Orchestra, Convulse, and other bands you might have experienced in the 90s. Or Gorgoroth, Mayhem and Dismember in just one band. The guitars are blitzing along to the very raw, organic drums during blast parts it will grind your fucking socks off. Anyone interested to find out more about Dire Omen then Revelation Of Futility is the way to go as its their strongest material but be aware its not pretty music its sound madness.
