UPC: 843563187944 Lauded as USBM's best kept secret, Obsidian Tongue has been on a steadfast artistic journey since their formation in 2009. They've never failed to retain the original mission of playing raw and cathartic melodic black metal as they journeyed further into psychedelic and progressive territories with each release following 2012's self-released debut Subradiant Architecture . While their debut won a passionate following for its perfect union of the grimy and the epic sides of black metal, it was 2013's A Nest of Ravens in the Throat of Time (Hypnotic Dirge Records) and its psychedelic dark metal that established their name more into the scene and showcased their ambitious nature even more. 16 years into the band's existence, Obsidian Tongue clearly show no signs of running out of new ways to alter their sound - song by song, album by album.
