"Aggressive, brutal, with blast beats aplenty (maybe a bit too many), yet technical and at times melodic, with twin leads and melodic guitar solos, Obscura takes one step further down the road paved by the likes of Death, Pestilence, Atheist and Cynic with "Cosmogenesis", which certainly is certainly one of the best second wave technical death metal releases. This album is not an easy listen if one's is not familiar with death metal or with progressive/technical rock, and even to seasoned fans of death metal, "Cosmogenesis" may be a challenging listen, making use of harmonic melodies one moment and dissonant chords the very next and bass work carrying on the legacy of Death's "Individual Thought Patterns" and Atheist's "A Piece of Time". However, if one, like many fans of progressive music do, likes to be challenged, then, by all means, purchase this album. I don't like the growling, I must admit - I think it would have sounded much better with cleaner vocals."
