With an impending siege of heavy metal set to take a grip mainstream culture once more, there is due a surge of new and interesting bands. Ageless Oblivion are the first to produce an album that can be viewed as a groundbreaking, worthy of not only keeping up with the big death metal bands of the moment such as Decapitated, Dying Fetus, Hate Eternal etc. Instead Ageless Oblivion are taking the bull by the horns and striving to create the perfect sound and structure to take the death metal scene to where its been heading and give it the recognition it deserves for being one of the most honest, complex and evocative genres of music the world has to offer.

With bowel movingly fast and technical drums carrying guitar riffs that intertwine like they are tempting you into a dark trance and a range of vocals ranging from powerful tones of evil doom that sound like an enraged god, songs such as Detatchable Faceplate show off a vast range of talent.
In short, Temples of Transcendent Evolution is a showcase that Ageless Oblivion have it all from face melting riffs and technical drum fills through to masterfully perfected breakdowns and a breathtaking diversity. Definitely one to be checking out if you're a metal fan and even if you are just a true lover of well produced music. Technically sound in every way this band have great things to come.
