Moribund Oblivion, stalwarts of Turkish black metal, emerge once more from the abyss with Intertemporal, their ninth sonic invocation, set to be unleashed on 12th September 2025 via Theogonia Records. Renowned for their unwavering commitment to the genre’s raw essence, the band now ventures into their most expansive and immersive territory yet — a conceptual descent into the fluidity of time and the dissolution of being.
The album opens with a relentless barrage: tremolo-picked riffs slicing through the void, blast beats erupting like seismic convulsions, and vocals that pierce the ether with shrill, tortured screams. Melodic guitar leads weave through the chaos, echoing the spirit of old-school black metal while embracing a refined, modern edge.
Atmospheric interludes and moments of clear vocal delivery lend a haunting elegance to the record. The riffs remain in a melodic tension, conjuring a sense of dread and transcendence throughout the album’s progression.
Guitar solos are executed with mournful precision, and select tracks introduce synthesiser textures that expand the sonic landscape into something almost ritualistic. Lyrically, Intertemporal delves into metaphysical themes — the impermanence of time, the erosion of identity — crafting a narrative that is as philosophical as it is harrowing. Killer album! ~ FF
