Ogotay: Dead God's Prophet

Since one of my favorite poems is T. S. Eliot's "The Waste Land," my ears perked up when I saw that it shares a title with one of the songs on this album. It's perfectly fitting for a band like Ogotay to think in terms of waste and despair and destruction. Their brand of technical death metal consistently goes over the ground of the world as a dark, despairing, place in which there's little hope. In that sense, the band shares with Eliot a thoroughgoing sense of darkness and doubt. The music reinforces such feelings by blasting everything in its path with a pummeling, direct, attack. There's no stopping or slowing down until the sixth track "Kneel and Die." Even then, the pause is not nearly long enough, a short inhale before going back to the blasted heaths of the contemporary world. Fans of brutal technical death metal will likely find Ogotay, an up and coming group of Polish musicians, to be not only promising, but also ready to unleash havoc on anything that gets in their way. Check out the awesome cover art on this one, too.
