:: ::
:: One of the reasons why good music is so important in our lives ::
:: is that it can move us to a different, better world and in ::
:: effect make us feel better. It also inspires us to do something ::
:: creative and outstanding. It helps us to find our own place in ::
:: this complicated world. Obscure Verses for the Multiverse does ::
:: all of this. ::
:: ::
:: Inquisition is a black metal duo founded in Colombia, that ::
:: later moved to the USA. The lineup havenÆt changed since 1996. ::
:: The mainman is Dagon, who writes the songs and the lyrics and ::
:: plays all guitars and does all the vocals. His partner is ::
:: Incubus, who does magic on drums. Their lyrics in the beginning ::
:: were focusing mainly on Satanism, but later they decided to ::
:: combine it with Cosmology and Astrobiology. What a great ::
:: decision, Dagon. These lyrics fit the music perfectly and make ::
:: the band more outstanding in the genre. I feel like Obscure ::
:: Verses for the Multiverse was a climax of DagonÆs cosmic ::
:: obsession. ::
:: ::
:: The record starts with a song Force of the Floating Tomb. Since ::
:: the very beginning we hear a wall of sound consisting of a fast ::
:: guitar riff and blast beats and we know what we are dealing ::
:: with û the riffs are very melodic and atmospheric and the drums ::
:: are played really ambitiously. The vocals are very mystic and ::
:: dark. This song itself gives the listener an unforgettable ::
:: experience. It blows me away every time IÆm listening to it. ::
:: And itÆs only the beginning. After the opening song ends, it ::
:: smoothly goes to Darkness Flows Towards Unseen Horizons, an (in ::
:: contrast) slowly starting song with an unbelievably melodic and ::
:: catchy riff. This album is not only about Cosmology and ::
:: Astrobiology. ItÆs alsoà Riffology. ::
:: ::
:: And this catchiness reaches its climax in the title track that ::
:: comes next. This song stand out the most because of its simple ::
:: tempo in the beginning. Perfect song for headbanging. It was ::
:: the first song from the album that IÆve heard and it incredibly ::
:: blown me away that I immediately listened to the whole album. ::
:: You have to be a master to write a song that is melodic, ::
:: catchy, atmospheric, but also chaotic, dark and heavy at the ::
:: same time. And I donÆt know who you have to be to write 9 such ::
:: songs. ::
:: ::
:: Yes, guitars are unbelievable, but I also canÆt forget about ::
:: the drums. They sound so professionally and creatively played, ::
:: and they touch my ears in the soft points. I always appreciate ::
:: black metal bands whose riffs are connected well with the ::
:: drums. This is a perfect example. And itÆs a common thing in ::
:: the whole Inquisition discography. ::
:: ::
:: The rest of the songs is just as amazing. The record is like a ::
:: journey through the cosmic seas. It is surprising the listener ::
:: all the time with the creativity in the songwriting, hidden ::
:: elements and a perfect connection of music and lyrics. What is ::
:: important is that all the songs have a common denominator, but ::
:: still each of them is unique and they together create a ::
:: consistent whole. What adds to it is that all the songs are ::
:: connected to each other with smooth transitions. ItÆs so ::
:: exciting to listen. It gives the listener a true catharsis, ::
:: purification and an experience of beauty. A true cosmic ::
:: perfection. ::
