With a clear goal of reaching the apex of technical metal in terms of proficiency, arrangements and sound, OPHIDIAN I has produced destructive full-length album ‘Desolate’. Emerging from Iceland - the barren island in the north, home to apocalyptic weather, eruptions and storms - the breeding intensity, blazing speed and ferocity of OPHIDIAN I reflect the chaos it hails from as well as its inherent beauty and complex harmony. With various influences ranging from all styles, the unique melt of technical death metal with immersive melody and hooks at every corner, ‘Desolate’ will appeal to all those who seek peak militant musicianship on all fronts. For fans of Archspire, Beyond Creation, Obscura.
