Expanding Oblivion

by PESTIFER

supported by

Nicolas RESSOT Dans la grande tradition de groupes tels que: Death, Atheist, Pestilence, Nocturnus, etc. et après les très bons "Age of disgrace" et "Reaching the void", Pestifer enfonce le clou avec brio (et un marteau). Il y a vraiment du lourd en Belgique : frites, bières, chocolat et Expanding oblivion ! Favorite track: Fractal Sentinels.

about

With its analog and near-live sound and mastering by Victor BULLOK (TRIPTYKON, NONEUCLID…), "Expanding Oblivion" is not only inspired by classic SciFi literature (Liu CIXIN, Isaac ASIMOV…), it's a metaphorical chronicle of our relationship with technology without being moralistic, wotj a lyrical concept wide enough in its building of a whole Universe for the listener let the imagination flow... Welcome aboard, resistance is futile!

Born in a hostile system, they used their advanced technology to transfer their consciences int servers-spaceships-factories to survive and roam the Universe, swallowing and disembodying life forms, expanding the network without boundaries, all as one, fusing knowledges, experiences, thoughts and reflections, being everywhere as oversighting sentinels sometimes creating carnal hosts to feel for a while among other species until they found Earth.

A world on the verge of apocalypse with a dying specie to which they offered a remedy through disembodiment and absorption in the network. But, like one can’t travel faster than light, a network can’t grow limitlessly in its quest of omniscience, and, reaching its own end, having absorbed all consciousness of the Universe, every single trace of life that ever existed got lost, forever…

Expanding Oblivion!

Depravity certainly do not reinvent the wheel, but they manage to invoke memories of the early Brutal Death Metal days in me. Taking a sip of this concoction I can taste traces of Sinister's Diabolical Summoning and Retribution by Malevolent Creation. Garnished with a killer production and an eerie resemblance to the Syncretism cover art of the Sinister album released a year earlier. Mohemian
