"Tiamtu, the debut album by legends Ofermod, is out now" reads the blurb for this album, "Legends" pretty big call for a band, especially as this album Tiamtu is their full length debut, so what makes Ofermod legendary? I suppose their fans can answer that, I assume they must have quite a few. Ofermod are a Swedish black metal band formed in 1996, and this release would fit well in any black/death metal fans library.
The tempo shifts numerous times on Tiamtu, a flurry of kick drums and sinister growls abound. Ofermod's wicked CD commences with the title track, vocalist Nebiros's evil cries are heard, he isn't happy, actually he sounds quite pissed off. Ofermod's only other member participating on this release; Belfagor, this guy has been very busy, cuts loose next on bass, drums and guitar, with powerful results throughout this CD. "Topothian Cleansing: Furnace Of Moloch", track six, is an interesting addition, and a haunting eerie atmospheric number it is, complete with chants and pounding drums.
Be warned, those who listen to Tiamtu, leave the lights on, take care and don't allow this evil composition from Ofermod to overwhelm you.
