pestorosso Great debut album in the same genre as Shadow of Intent (symphonic blackened deathcore/metal). Would be a killer live package. Favorite track: Oblivion (ft. Tim Lambesis).

Ending Circles Brilliant mixture of Blackened Death/Metal/Core. Lots of groove and melodies on display here. The added Clean Vocals are a welcome variety. Those Vocals. Damn...

All we need now is a full Album soon and Oblivion on Vinyl. Outstanding and a must buy. Favorite track: Oblivion (ft. Tim Lambesis).

Every day is the end ov times Everything that happens makes the scriptures right I have faith, I won’t use my mind Complete annihilation For those who oppose creation Blindly trust in me For God’s on my side We choose to ignore what we’re forced to believe Spreading brainwashed deceit The world isn’t ending The floods are not coming There’s no truth to your prophecies This life won’t follow you Open your eyes Start to see through There’s no meaning in anything The world isn’t ending The floods are not coming There’s no truth to your prophecies You know not what you speak ov His word, it must be true This life’s the gift he’s given us This book is my proof I can not accept This false rhetoric You base your beliefs On your book ov disease Forgive them Father For they know not what they do They have been force fed lies And do not have a clue Crucify yourself and offer your body as food Spill your blood as sacrament Rain down hell upon these fools Drunk off your majesty The flames brew within Bask in His travesty All hail the Father ov sin Perversion Conditioned from birth troth Devotion Apostle ov seraphic myth Beguile herd Follow the distortion Embrace the mistaken We choose to ignore what we’re forced to believe Spreading brainwashed deceit The world isn’t ending The floods are not coming There’s no truth to your prophecies

Lies I revoke the word, I denounce His name We’ve been conditioned to believe their words and see their signs We never ask the questions Pull back the veil see what’s behind See what’s behind I am ov this world A faithless man I spoke with a forked tongue I walk a left hand path So take my hand come walk with me They look to the skies and hope for something more Endless generations ov lies It’s all lies It’s all lies Born ov sulfur We are destined to bathe in the flame Born ov sulfur Renounce His name Bathe in the flames They look to the skies and hope for something more Endless generations ov lies

Hiding behind the hand ov God Those thought to have been holy Who possess the power to control Have influenced and manipulated The minds ov the weak Within this book, we can save you Ignore your thoughts, believe our truth Choke down the lies, one with the flock Forget yourself, believe our truths Spewing forth filth, damned all who doubt Fall in line, distorted grace, you must obey So fall in line, shut your mouth and go in faith Ingest the falsification ov divine ascension Angelic perversion becoming the worldwide sermon Exalted abomination Blameless are those in the cloth Enveloped by filthy providence Hiding behind the hand ov God Beliefs based in bloodsoaked pages Father ov falsehood Kill at will, do as thou wilt Worship the god within Build monolithic monuments Spit out the sacrament Witness the theological genocide Witness! Witness! The ancient molestation mass Innocence defiled Exalted abomination Blameless are those in the cloth Enveloped by filthy providence Hiding behind the hand ov God Beliefs based in blood soaked pages Father ov falsehood Forever hiding behind the hand ov God

Lost 04:12
The walls are shaking The floor is crumbling I can feel myself start to wither away The light is dimming Shadows consuming My thoughts dividing It’s all crashing at my feet Am I damned? Am I damned? Have I been thrown to the fire? Consuming all I am What’s left ov me except all my regrets? Is this torment for what I’ve done? For what I’ve seen? Because I can’t wash these hands clean And I can’t forget these things I’ve felt the rise and fall I’ve let it slip through my fingers Touching greatness for just a moment Before it turns to dust I used to believe in something I’ve given up Now there’s just nothing Become nothing I used to believe in something I’ve given up Now there’s just nothing Is this torment for what I’ve done? For what I’ve seen? Because I can’t wash these hands clean And I can’t forget these things I’ve felt the rise and fall I’ve let it slip through my fingers Touching greatness for just a moment Before it turns to dust The end is nigh and I welcome it I feel death’s grip reaching for me The final release is what I’ve wanted My sins have come to put me to sleep

Ashes... All I see is ashes... Burning embers surrounding me I taste the stench ov ancestral rot The fires raging beneath my feet As I look upward, I breathe it in, breathe it all in Englut from a fetid sky That’s filled with malignancy This will be the result ov paradoxical dogma The endless searching to make the pieces fit It didn’t come from the word as they wanted But they made it so through all ov this Behold the sectarian warmonger, so eager and so bellicose Armed with tenet Purge the skeptics Enjoin servility Laud through carnage When the day has finally come, who will you call? Oblivion is drawing near to claim us all At the trumpets’ final blare, you’ll feel despair The heavy burden ov regret Knowing that you followed them Believing you’d be protected As they left you barely conscious Taught to rely No quality ov life You gave away your freedom To a soulless machine Progress hypocrisy A soulless machine Progress End All ov this please Fucking suffering We will shed our mortal coil when it comes End our fucking suffering When the day has finally come, who will you call? Oblivion is drawing near to claim us all At the trumpets’ final blare you’ll feel despair

'Oblivion' is the debut release from Las Vegas blackened deathcore band Ov Sulfur. It also serves as former Suffokate vocalist Ricky Hoover's first new music in a DECADE.

'Oblivion' EP Bio:

Someone should have warned God to keep his enemies close because Ricky Hoover’s been biding his time and sharpening his blades. The former Suffokate vocalist swapped his mic for a straight razor, tour life for family life and, yes, those huge stretched ears for comparably large muscles. In short, Hoover is ready for war, and the Oblivion EP (out August 6) is his plan of attack.

And a decade is a long time to hone any mission. Pandemic boredom brought to life the long-dormant desire to create music. The music would surely be deadly, but tech death desires faded as he began writing with guitarist Chase Wilson. Hoover floated the idea of blackening their deathcore but was met with indecision from the rest of the band, now rounded out by guitarist Cory Walker, drummer Parker Adsit and bassist Taylor Adsit.

The Devil would have his day, though, as the genre made its way to the group’s Instagram bio. Hype for the sinister sound grew, and so they dove in. Johnny Ciardullo (Carcosa/Angelmaker) would help with orchestrations for lead single “Behind the Hand of God,” with the band taking the reins for “Bathe in the Flame,” “Oblivion” (featuring Tim Lambesis of As I Lay Dying) and beyond. The result is a sound that’s equal parts hellfire and the haunting souls that swirl around it, with Hoover’s bellow personifying the mouth of Hell like never before.

It’s a duty he carries out with pride, weaponizing his fury against religion. “Oblivion” chronicles a fictional but all-too-plausible apocalypse, not as told by the Bible but inspired by those who expect that outcome. There’s a cruel irony in religious zealots militarizing their faith to bring about the very fate they fear.

“Bathe in the Flame” encourages embracing your natural evil side, rather than the impossibly deluded holy ambitions of Christianity. “Behind the Hand of God” is an opposition to those who justify their ill actions by cowering behind their deity, like a child hiding behind their parent.

There’s nowhere to hide anymore.
