Okwaho
The Usurper Regime (marbled)
2023 album from, Athens, Greece, doom sensations Okwaho. On their second album, 'The Usurper Regime,' Okwaho let darkness seep in... When the time came for the creation of 'The Usurper Regime,' Okwaho internalized the negation of the pandemic and socio-political events. They opened a new chapter where their politicized lyrics meet blackened sludge in a fusion that, as demonstrated by the album's opening track 'The Burden Of Thousand Murders,' the band listens to the modern and sharp aspect of extreme sound, and adapts it to its own style. In six compositions, with a total duration of 39 minutes, the trio takes compositional risks that look (also) towards sharp and voluminous post-metal. Oxblood red/black marbled vinyl version.
