Sent by the label: Ingurgitating Oblivion – Candence and Perspective in Desolation

Metalcatto

Well, this isn’t a new release—it’s a reissue—so why am I writing about it? Simple. Hessian Firm, the label behind it, was kind enough to send us a free physical copy of Ingurgitating Oblivion’s debut EP, Cadence and Perspective in Desolation. A title that already hinted at how complex IO would become. So, without further nonsense, let’s check if this thing still holds up more than two decades later.

Ingurgitating Oblivion- Ontology of Nought

I was there when Ingurgitating Oblivion released Vision Wallows in Symphonies of Light. It was album-of-the-year material in what was probably the best year Metal has had in my lifetime. This won’t be a typical review. You see, Ontological Nought isn’t music you listen to for dealing with emotional issues. This is art, and to fully embrace it, I’m pulling out every weapon in my snobbish arsenal. So I hope you’re ready for the most pretentious review since we covered Ulcerate or Aquilus. On y va!
