Their music is an impossible cross between VOIVOD, IMMOLATION, KRALLICE, and Mick Barr's OCRILIM, as demonstrated by the intense 40-minute \"The Sourceless Scourge,\" divided into five long and vertiginous tracks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eOskarbski isn't alone in this endeavor: the excellent bassist Cullen Gallagher (already appreciated on the band's previous album) and the extraordinary drummer Jason Bursese (THANATOTHERION, BLACK FUCKING CANCER) punctuate Oskarbski's guitar work and his almost mantric death metal growls, vibrating in unison with them. In particular, Bursese really adds an extra edge to the music thanks to ever-new and exciting rhythmic solutions, transforming the band into a killing machine. ODIOUS SPIRIT's is a hypnotic wall of sound that leaves the listeners stunned by its heaviness and complexity of forms, but equally eager to uncover its secret mechanisms with each new listen. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eMixed by Kevin Bernsten and expertly mastered by James Plotkin (KHANATE), \"The Sourceless Scourge\" perhaps finds its pinnacle in the monumental \"Close to Sun\" and \"Temporal Euthanasia,\" where ODIOUS SPIRIT alternate lethal mid-tempos with devastating thrash\/death metal rides, with Oskarbski's frenetic, dissonant guitar launching into pulsating, trance-inducing loops in crescendo, perfectly intertwined with Bursese and Gallagher's ingenious rhythmic counterpoints. These days, it's hard to find anything as fresh and surprising, and Jari Anttonen's enigmatic cover art highlights the uniqueness of a project worthy of attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrue Non-Existence (06:27)\u003cbr\u003e2.
