Insidious Omen - To Cast the Last Shadow

Written by: Nick

This isn't new, however, it is excellent. Emerging from the vastness of Canada along with many other amazing acts (Thantifaxath, Monarque, Ensorcelor, etc), Insidious Omen bring to the blood-soaked altar something truly tortured, dark and worthy of a few words.

Released by Tour De Garde, To Cast the Last Shadow, is a vile four-track slab of sickening vocals reminiscent of the helpless screams and cracked throats of the hapless victims of a nuclear explosion. Gas-masked instrumentalists play fully adorned in Haz-Mat suits as the dripping sinew of these organic wastes stagger about devoid of any chance of survival. They shriek, vomit, and lunge for anything to stop the insanity of seeing their own flesh boil, burst, and disintegrate from their bones. There is no hope, from the moment the music started, there never was.
