Obsidious are leading the charge for the modern evolution of progressive and technical metal with their debut album, ‘Iconic.’ Featuring Linus Klausenitzer (bass), Rafael Trujillo (guitars), Sebastian Lanser (drums), and vocalist Javi Perera (vocals), the band has distinguished and lettered origins in Obscura, Alkaloid, Eternity’s End, and Juggernaut. Obsidious, however, are a different creature entirely. Iconic is technical but not officious. The album breathes intensity but expands upon it with mellifluent dexterity. With Obsidious, there’s always a hook. Iconic builds upon a prestigious foundation, but its vision isn’t restricted to its tenets.
