Penthos by Ageless Oblivion
Ageless Oblivion are a progressive death metal band from Hampshire UK.Influenced by such artists as Decapitated, Nile, Neurosis, Cult Of Luna & Akercocke - Ageless Oblivion formed out of the ashes of previous bands and began writing in 2009. In the summer of 2010 they entered Foel Studios with renowned producer Chris Fielding to record their first full length album 'Temples Of Transcendent Evolution' which was released by Siege Of Amida Records in Feb' 2011.
The album has since been critically acclaimed by outlets Terrorizer Magazine (8.5/10) and Kerrang! Magazine (4/5) as well as being tipped as 'The actual future of metal' by well established & respected music critic Dom Lawson.
Having already shared stages with extreme metal behemoths by the likes of Decapitated, Aeon, Cerebral Bore, Fleshgod Apocalypse, Dyscarnate, Conan, Blood Red Throne & Latitudes, The band have made an affinity for the stage and constantly expand on a live performance with an objective to merge the atmospheric with the primal belligerence of traditional death metal. An endeavour that promises to bring something fresh to what is to this day still considered a formidable genre of music.
"Provides the missing link between crushing high-velocity brutality and suffocating Neurosis style doomscapes. The breadth of vision here is exhilarating." - Terrorizer Magazine
"Beats Decapitated at their own technical game." - Kerrang! Magazine
"This is it. This is what makes metal great!" - Thrash Hits
"Huge and expansive, as well as some riffs so heavy that they would cave your skull in if you sat too near the speakers." - Metal Team UK
"You may not have heard of this band, but doubtless you will be doing so more in the future. With a fresh take on the death metal dynamic, this, their debut album, provides a master class in modern death metal." - No Clean Singing
