Obsidious announce debut album ‘Iconic’
OBSIDIOUS have announced their debut album!
Titled Iconic, the upcoming album from the progressive metal band (comprised of former members of OBSCURA), is their debut full-length record and is scheduled to be released in October this year, via Season Of Mist.
“This album does not have a concept per se in terms of lyrics or an underlying storyline,” vocalist Javi Perera says. “The songs on this album touch on subjects of diverse nature, and there are even some songs that narrate personal experiences. But what I can consider as a common denominator in the album is the absence of constraints on a compositional or stylistic level, allowing us the freedom to shift between different musical genres as long as the song requires it. I always consider that we, as artists and musicians, are at the service of the music and not the other way around.”
Alongside the announcement of the debut album, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Devotion. The new song is the fourth single to be released from the upcoming album; following on from Under Black Skies, Sense Of Lust, Iconic and Bound By Fire.
Speaking about the new song, the band says, “this song is about cults, basing the story on one of the most controversial cases of the late 1970s. In this song there are two distinct voices that reflect the character of each of the protagonists: the raspy voice of the cult leader and the melodic, desperate voice of the follower trying to flee the place.”
