After more than a decade since the band’s previous album, California Tech Death giants ODIOUS MORTEM will release Synesthesia arrives January 17 on Willowtip Records. The album’s first single,”Ruins of the Timeworn,” is streaming at youtu.be/kTS-KdMAgU4

Blabbermouth’s description of 2007 sophomore album Cryptic Implosion as “an awe-inspiring slab of accomplished death metal aggression,” is even more applicable to Synesthesia. Avoiding the clinical sterility of many modern death metal productions, the band created a sound on Synesthesia that is raw, robust, and infused with an authentic old school spirit.

The time between releases seems only to have hardened the band’s resolve to continue creating extreme metal magnificence, as evidenced by Synesthesia.
