Death metal is kind of like the menu at an In-N-Out Burger. There are only a few options to choose from and they only vary slightly. Enter Obscura, the death metal band whose cornucopia of flavor choices is like a fully stocked Baskin-Robbins. With their new album Omnivium, Obscura hands out heaping tasting spoons of groove-based brutality, spacey melodic beauty, and slippery fretless bass. Every track is built on a criss-crossing waffle cone of blasting and jazzy polyrhythms. Since Obscura's music can somehow confound and enlighten, maybe they can help us all understand how anybody thought bubblegum and ice cream could go together. ARIS WALES
