---------------------------------------

A cult record from Poland in 1992, this is considered a demo, but its 40+ minutes of play time and professional-sounding production tell me it's an album. Having only managed to release two demos and a full-length, it is a surprise why Taranis aren't around even today. For the most part, this demo consists of slow to mid-paced Black Metal, often flirting with doom. Very deliberate, Taranis is in no hurry to finish recording, and while it can be quite slow paced at times, still manages to mesmerizingly hold the listener's attention throughout the entire 40 minutes. Sometimes heavy and destructive, especially when combined with the putrid vocals, Obscurity just oozes evil filth. Recommended for those who want something hard-hitting, while still relatively tame. Awesome start to an awesome band.
