Desolate by Ophidian I
With a clear goal of reaching the apex of technical metal in terms of proficiency, arrangements and sound, OPHIDIAN I has produced the destructive full-length album DESOLATE.
Emerging from Iceland; the barren island in the north, home to apocalyptic weather, eruptions and storms. The breeding intensity, blazing speed and ferocity of OPHIDIAN I reflects the chaos it hails from as well as the inherent beauty and complex harmony. With various influences ranging from all styles, the unique melt of technical death metal - with immersive melody and hooks at every corner - DESOLATE will appeal to all those who seek peak militant musicianship on all fronts.
