Twin Obscenity exists since 1991 and Bloodstone
is their third cd. The first cd Where Light Touches None
was released in 1997 by Head Not Found records and the second
one For Blood, Honour And Soil in 1998 by Century
Media. The band is actually a trio but they were joined
by two singers, including a female vocalist called Tonje
Ettesvoll.
So once again a band from Norway which plays dark and gloomy
stuff. Twin Obscenity's style goes from Doom-Death
to Viking / Black and even sometimes Epic Metal, in other
words a big melting pot of different kinds. The result is
a bit strange : I'm warning you, so you'd better be open
minded, because I know that some purists in this branch
won't like all these mixes.
Anyway the production isn't that bad and the result of
all these mixtures of Scandinavian specialties are very
surprising, so now it is up to you for the final judgment.
How many bands will come out of Norway ??? It is just amazing
to see how the scene is creative there. The word creative
is a good one to describe Twin Obscenity anyway.
You can't get blood from a stone, but you can be surprised
by Bloodstone.
