### After Oblivion: Stamina

#### 09/05/13 || Lord K Philipson

In 2011 I was kinda blown away by this band’s demo “Vultures”. I foresaw great things for these fuckers and have been waiting for another sign of life from them for quite some time. It’s obvious that I sometimes miss out on shit in the scene – After Oblivion releasing a full-length being one of those things. Thanx to magnificent staffer Ironpants I was informed that this album is available on Spotify, meaning I naturally have to share the news with you all in the shape of a quick stub.

Naturally it still sounds like material the late Chuck could have written for Death before he passed away. And it’s fucken killer except for the weak production (the demo had better production values) that kinda take away a lot of the joy of listening to this. It doesn’t matter too much though, After Oblivion’s semi-technical death (pun intended) metal is quite great but would, as mentioned, have benefited from a much punchier sound. Either way, and even though I expected more from this album, I truly recommend this becoz it’s quite fucken ace at times despite its flaws and the feeling of it being a little bit rushed just too get it out there.

7,5/10: Give it a listen.
