More about 'Observing Oblivion'

This sophomore effort from Dead Eyed Sleeper showcases a band that's found its groove while maintaining the technical prowess that made their debut so compelling. "Observing Oblivion" takes a more direct approach than its predecessor "Through Forests Of Nonentities", yet the sophistication remains intact throughout every crushing riff and intricate passage. The album sits perfectly in that sweet spot between the technical brutality of Necrophagist and the progressive atmospherics of Opeth, creating something that feels both familiar and refreshingly unique.

The stellar lineup brings serious pedigree to the table - Corny Althammer (known for his work with Disbelief and Ahab) delivers thunderous drumwork, while Stephan Wandernoth and Peter Eifflaender (both Ahab alumni) craft guitar work that's both crushing and melodically sophisticated. Sam Atzenberger from Fragments Of Unbecoming provides vocals that perfectly complement the band's evolved sound, and Thomas Amann rounds out the rhythm section with solid bass work. Recorded at the renowned Kohlekeller Studios (home to recordings by Crematory, Sieges Even, and Powerwolf), the production captures every nuance of their refined approach.
