Finland based death metal warriors CYNABARE URNE, via BANDCAMP, are streaming the bands anticipated debut full length release "OBSIDIAN DAGGERS AND CINNABAR SKULLS", unleashed 10/30/2020 via REGAIN RECORDS.
FROM REGAIN RECORDS:
HELTER SKELTER PRODUCTIONS (distributed & marketed by REGAIN
RECORDS) is proud to present CYNABARE URNE’s highly anticipated debut
album, Obsidian Daggers and Cinnabar Skulls, on CD, vinyl LP, and
cassette tape formats.
Formed in 2014, CYNABARE URNE are a power-trio hailing from Finland.
Despite being a new formation, the members of CYNABARE URNE possess a
wealth of experience in the metal underground, across a wide variety of
extreme styles, and with that experience dating back to even the mid
‘90s. The band made their recorded debut in the summer of 2016 with the
two-song Fire the Torches EP, which HELTER SKELTER released on 10” vinyl
and cassette tape formats later that year. A short but
no-less-auspicious debut, the EP was aptly titled, displaying a
sulfurous sort of death metal that was indeed fiery in intent and
execution. In early 2018, CYNABARE URNE kept that momentum going with a
four-song EP, In the Cremation Ground, which HELTER SKELTER released
across a variety of formats over that year. Darker and deadlier, In the
Cremation Ground put the band’s name on the international metal map,
heightening anticipation for the inevitable full-length.
At last, it is here, bearing the ominous title
Obsidian Daggers and Cinnabar Skulls. Much like debut albums should,
Obsidian Daggers and Cinnabar Skulls encapsulates CYNABARE URNE’s past
whilst pointing the way for their future, displaying the band’s best
qualities and, in turn, revealing new (and darker, deadlier) truths.
Right from the opening notes, the album exudes that miles-wide sense of
space the band created early on…and then they proceed to CRUSH the
listener with malevolent Metal of Death steeped in the ancients and with
a miasmic sense of melody. Moving at many speeds, mesmerizing at every
one, always flowing and always filthily, CYNABARE URNE’s attack is
neither strictly old-school nor new-school; stylistic nods span Sadistic
Intent to Necros Christos, classic Grave to recent Dead Congregation,
early Vader to later Repugnant, and plenty of other points in between.
In a word: timeless. Thusly armed, the trio exhibit a masterful grasp of
songcraft, imbuing their ever-twisting creations with dynamics and
nuance as bountifully as they do genuine evil and menace. Likewise, the
ever-pervasive sense of ritualism elevates these 10 tracks to more than
just “death metal songs,” like shadowy transmissions from the beyond
made flesh and then harnessed with no small amount of magick. Even the
production itself, both palpably physical and eerily atmospheric,
becomes a ghastly, gestating-ichorously thing, wrapping its Lovecraftian
tendrils around the listener and never letting go… Darkness. Doom.
DEATH.

CYNABARE URNE’s Obsidian Daggers and Cinnabar Skulls is bound to be THE
death metal debut album of the year!
