The FIrst and self titled track “FATHOMLESS HYSTEROS” was really good. I like that the band has
some more artistic album art than some other bands I have reviewed in the past. The Uterus/Vagina
surrounded by planets is extremely memorable. It also sounds like chanting in what I think is Spanish
midway through the song which is interesting.I looked up a lyric video they released on youtube and
in it the Euterus/Vagina on the album cover started spinning! So mad props to whoever did that! At 3:00
you definitely hear some Iron Maiden-esque guitar chugging, but it quickly returns to utterly Brutal drum
work. All in all a really solid Death/Black Metal track.
The song “I SEE YOU WITHOUT EYES” or track number three is pretty cool and reminds me of
“The great old ones' ' mentioned in H.P. lovecraft novels. Interesting lyrical content in general, and
I am really happy with the way they changed it up around 5:00 to get a little slower, less hardcore
and more progressive. Moving on to “THE FIFTH RIDER” this track seems like it is on the same
level of death and black metal subject matter. I highly recommend reading these powerful lyrics
since the vocals can be hard to hear like most heavy metal.
“HIJO DEL CAIDO” or track number five has a good intro. Somewhat faster, but there isn’t really
anything wrong with that in my opinion. The track name means son of the fallen but I couldn’t really
translate what the rest of the lyrics were but I imagine it has to do with being the spawn of Satan.
The song “ADVERSARY” I couldn’t find a lyric video on youtube but Ouija is alot like alot of really
good metal bands I have heard. I really liked the melodic guitar at 2:20-3:06. This is the kind of stuff
that got me into metal in the first place as a tween.
As for the final track on the album “UNBRIDLED TRANSYLVANIAN PASSION” in looking for a lyric
video I found a video for their earlier album CARPATHIANS EXCELSI MAJESTY which this track is
originally on. This song has basically been around as long as I have been alive so I really don’t know
what to say other than I think a lot of modern metal might be based on this and other bands like it!
