Grand Gesture Of Defiance

by Altar Of Oblivion

supported by

KJ Altar of Oblivion are honestly one of the best doom metal bands of the past 20 years. All the instruments come together perfectly and the vocals really pull at your heartstrings. This album really takes you on a journey the same way the doom metal classics did. In my opinion, this is up there with the best of them. Perfect 10. Favorite track: The Graveyard of Broken Dreams.

Elric of Melniboné How catchy can doom get? - Altar of Oblivion: Yes.

about

ALTAR OF OBLIVION is by far the very best Heavy Metal band to come out of Denmark since MERCYFUL FATE. I wouldn't say they sound like MERCYFUL FATE all that much apart from their very acrobatic / theatrical vocalist that has a King Diamond-esque style. If you're looking for an emotional Heavy Metal ride, look no further than this band, they reach for the sky and touch the soul on so many different levels. The style is still very similar to their first album which is a blend of Doom Metal like CANDLEMASS and catchy machine gun riffing with big choruses and memorable songs. Old fans will not be disappointed, new fans will be floored. ALTAR OF OBLIVION deliver another masterpiece!

My favorite material from Solstice! Despite their amazing discography that lay before this that completely set the foundation, this in my opinion is where it all comes to a mighty peak. What an amazing emotional and powerful picture painted in such a short amount of time. Talon Sullivan
