Ossuarium – Onward (2013)

Sounding like Bolt Thrower with more of a NWOBHM influence and Graveland overlays in the melodic department, this band creates its own style of grindcore on the verge of death metal by focusing on a few themes.

These are independent from lyrics, but more follow the spirit of the interaction of riffs, which rumble to life from a grinding posture and then elevate into a death metal style expansion with haunting melancholy from black metal.

In this sense, the band avoids the usual attempt to mix the genres directly, but instead picks a genre and injects influences from elsewhere, sticking its own voice in the middle through the stories it tells.
