So, for those who don't know, Orobas are a Blackened Death Metal band from Denmark. They were actually originally formed in Bangladesh, later on relocating to Denmark.
Orobas have been around since 2015, and have released two EPs and two singles, so far.
Upholding the Asuric Traditions had come out in 2022, but was released again, on CD format in last April, through Slaughterhouse Records.
This song is from the upcoming full length. And it doesn't come alone. It comes with a cover of Mayhem.
So if you haven't heard these tracks yet, what can you expect?
It is Blacknened Death Metal, but definitely more within the realm of Death Metal. Their style, specially on the original track Upholding the Asuric Traditions is quite technical, although not obsessively. The voice is very very grave, very powerful, making the whole atmosphere quite intense and overflowing with power.
As for the Mayhem cover, they chose the song Deathcrush, and they made an excellent adaption out of it. I've heard covers of this and other songs of Mayhem, as I'm sure you'd have too. But this one coming from a more Death Metal band is quite different, which makes it special. If you fancy listening to Deathcrush played in a very heavy and assured manner, accompanied by a very guttural voice, you'll enjoy this cover. Everything is on point.
If you are into Blacknened Death Metal music, keep an eye out for Orobas, as they might have a promising future.
