Towering - The Oblation of Man

Blackened Death Metal from Paris, France

Seven years after their debut, the French band TOWERING returns with “The Oblation of Man”—their second album, which aims to establish them as one of the most interesting bands in the genre, and succeeds in doing so. Hypnotic music, an album that surprises with its sensitivity and features an aggressive element that feels perfectly integrated. The music flows continuously, the compositions are very well thought out, and the instrumentation is balanced. The result is a cohesive work with a clear direction—a band that hasn’t hesitated in its approach and has forged its own musical path. A mature band that, with “The Oblation of Man”—one of the most interesting and captivating releases in the genre this year—clearly solidifies its place in the death metal landscape. A clear recommendation.
