Obcasus returns with Omega Sermon, a seven-track descent into spiritual ruin and cosmic dread. This sophomore offering is not merely a continuation—it’s a transmutation. The Finnish ensemble conjures a soundscape that feels like a sermon whispered through the cracks of a mausoleum, where melody and menace intertwine like serpents in ritualistic embrace.

The album opens with a brief invocation, setting the stage for “Bakkheia,” a track that channels Dionysian frenzy through tremolo-laced riffs and cavernous growls. There’s a theatricality to Obcasus’ approach—each song unfolds like a rite, with “Darkness Upon Your Light” and “Tyhjyyden Kartano” weaving sorrowful harmonies into a tapestry of decay. The pacing is deliberate, almost ceremonial, allowing each passage to breathe its own poison.

“Death Meditation” stands as the album’s spiritual core—a slow-burning lament that drips with existential weight. The guitars shimmer like dying stars, while the vocals echo from some distant, forsaken temple. It’s not aggression that drives this record, but atmosphere: thick, oppressive, and steeped in metaphysical despair.

The final title track, “Omega Sermon,” stretches nearly ten minutes, a requiem that feels both infinite and final, like the last breath of a dying god.Obcasus doesn’t scream—they chant. They don’t blast—they bleed.

Omega Sermon is a black metal opus for those who seek transcendence through torment, and beauty in the ashes of belief. It’s a sermon not meant to save, but to sanctify the fall.To be released on 15th November via Wolfmond Production. ~ FF
