"it's like having a front-row seat on the shores of the River Styx as Satan takes the stage." - Drum!

"Obscura have absolutely nailed it...their mastery of tempos and moods marks them out as among extremity's smartest." - Terrorizer

"Were Star Treck's Lieutenant Data to hose an evening of death metal, the latest opus from this German tech/death quartet would certainly feature on heavy rotation." - Metal Hammer

"Omnivium is streamlined, focused, and artfully crafted." - Revolver

I was sure that I won't see Greece in their tour schedule.
