Dreadnought (Album)

MUSIPEDIA OF METAL 
”In a shock to absolutely nobody reading, I loved this album and can’t really find a serious fault with it!? It was furious, energetic, exciting, and most importantly savagely heavy throughout. All I can say to finish is, you need to make it your top priority to hear this album immediately! 10/10

”You will beg for mercy, but you won’t get any”. 9/10 

”Men som sagt, framför allt är det som dukas upp hårt. Och mörkt. Och riktigt, riktigt bra. Sade jag hårt? Anse dig tillbörligen varnad: Du kommer att be om nåd. Men du kommer inte att få någon.” 9/10

The Obliterationist (Album)

SONIC PERSPECTIVES
“Riddled with groovy slams, punishing breakdowns and some truly evil blast beat sequences, the album is nothing short of an assault from front to back.” “..Unflinching in its delivery of earth-shattering material, its darkness and ferocity proves to the listener that these guys are a band to pay attention to…” 7.5/10

NO CLEAN SINGING
“The piston-driven bludgeoning is persistently merciless but also well-calculated to get your head moving, yet other surprises do lie in wait.”

CVLT LEGION
”Savage riffs working in tandem with rolling, blasting drums and harsh shouts are a dead giveaway that “The Obliterationist” is pulling you into the universe of death metal.” 8/10

GAMES, BRRRAAAINS & A HEAD-BANGIN LIFE

”Riffs as thick as three-day-old porridge, bass as sinewy as an Olympic runner’s legs, drums that pound with force and speed, and of course, vocals that sound like guts being hacked up. Combined, all these nasty instruments result in a smash-mouth and aggressive listen with plenty of exciting groove” 7.5/10

NOOB HEAVY

“Orecus has managed to distill many of the past and present trends and influences in the death metal sphere into a tight and coherent whole. The Obliterationist is almost like an expert summary of everything that has happened in death metal for the last 30 years.” 8.5/10

HEADBANGER REVIEWS

”This is a tour de force of power the likes of which death metal is always working towards with this performance, in particular, bringing in modern elements that come together gloriously in order to provide us with a listen that feels fresh, invigorating, and a damn good time all the way around.”

THE HEADBANGIN MOOSE

”Orecus offer us fans of extreme music a fantastic fusion of old school and modern-day Death Metal with endless aggression, heaviness and intricacy in The Obliterationist, and let’s hope that their newborn spawn is just the first step in this new phase of their career.” 3.5/10
