Obstinacy: Sisyphean Dreams Unfolded

 Throughout the four lengthy tracks of "Obstinacy: Sisyphean Dreams Unfolded," FLESHVESSEL seem possessed. A kaleidoscope of colors pours forth from the rich instrumentation employed, which includes, among others, acoustic and electric guitars, flute, clarinet, piano, synthesizer, viola, and a multitude of exotic instruments. The vocals are also impressive and over the top, alternating deep growls and heavy metal falsettos, tying together bone-crushing death metal grooves and airy melodic landscapes into complex prog-style harmonic structures.
