Otargos – Fleshborer Soulflayer - Reviewed By Abrasive Audio ! Check it out here at this link: https://cultmetalflix.wordpress.com/2022/01/16/abrasive-audio-wrapping-up-21/
Is this a mash up of Septic Flesh and Obscura? It’s likely, there’s cinematic/palpable atmosphere married with a hyperspeed only a rare few acts can pull off without sounding silly. Although this is largely without Progressive passages it still maintains a nightmarish foundation, in essence a soundtrack an invading force of weapon masters (who can twirl assorted sharp things faster than the eye can see) could utilize as they decimate organized societies to a landscape of chunky claret. In conclusion, if you’re looking for a fresh act who play at a blinding pace (with a tightness that would make a ducks arse jelly) draped in a malevolent tone and backed by a definite blackened essence this is a location you cannot afford not to visit. Why not stay awhile? I guarantee the replay button will get a work out with this finding conquest over the stereo.

The Korporation is proud to announce French Dark Extreme Metalers OTARGOS will raise multidimensional Hell for the 7th time with new album "Fleshborer Soulflayer" on Dec.10.
Marking the first studio recording with the band for new drummer Michael Martin (ex-EXOCRINE, ex-FLESHDOLL) and the return of former guitarist Astaroth that previously appeared on the band's 2007 to 2011 recordings, "Fleshborer Soulflayer" pushes the band's now trademark cosmic Blackened Death Metal sound ing even further in terms of brutality, heaviness and deconstruction sounding like a space-time travel through a black hole!
Again produced at France's Vamacara studio (Mercyless, Savage Annihilation...), the album will be released on a variety of formats including CD, vinyl, cassette & digital versions with a first single / music video made available for preorders launch on September 15.
Check out the video!
