										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The cover art on <strong>Obsidian Mantra</strong>&#8216;s 3rd album, <em>As We All Will</em>, may not scream &#8220;DEATH METAL!!!!&#8221;, instead having more of an <strong>Opeth</strong>-ian progressive metal vibe. However fair reader, as the old saying goes, &#8216;never judge a book by its cover&#8217;.</p>
<p><em>As We All Will</em> is VERY much a death metal album. A death metal album of the Polish variety, and while they may not be a household name like <strong>Vader</strong> or <b>Behemoth </b>they should certainly garner a little more attention with this very succinct, bludgeoning album that hits all the death metal sweet spots with heft and confidence.</p>
<p><iframe title="Obsidian Mantra (Pol) - As We All Will (Album 2024)" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ztjLWTZkB88?start=498&#038;feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>While not necessarily culling <em>completely</em> from their more recognizable Polish peers, there&#8217;s still definitely a mid-era <strong>Behemoth</strong><em> (i.e Zos Kia Cultus)</em>/latter-era <strong>Decapitated</strong> powerful, groove-infused sound that also imbues the likes of <strong>Annihilated&#8217;s </strong> <em>XIII Steps to Ruination</em> ( yeah that&#8217;s a decade-old reference.. i know) or a little <strong>Dyscarnate</strong> here that&#8217;s incredibly satisfying. That said there are still plenty of blast beats scattered around to satiate the blast-worshiping masses.</p>
<p>Vocalist/bassist Kacper Kajzderski has a commanding, authoritative bellow that&#8217;s one of my favorite death metal vocal styles, the guitars, bass, and drums have plenty of heft and girth that&#8217;s on display for most of the album&#8217;s 30-minute run time. Especially on burly, militant tracks like &#8220;Slave Without a Master&#8221;, &#8220;Condemned to Oppression&#8221;, &#8220;Chaos Will Consume Us All&#8221;, &#8220;Sowers of Discord&#8221; and &#8220;Wavers of Misery&#8221;. It is simple, powerful, and effective. And it gets the job done &#8211; if the job is banging your head.</p>
<p>A very pleasant under-the-radar Polish death metal surprise that <em>really</em> got my juices going. (ewwwww).</p>
