Osmium Gate – Cannibal Universe Review By Alekhines GunOf all the discouraging and difficult elements contributing to people having appallingly bad taste not being into metal, the biggest sticking point has got to be the vocals. As inoffensive as we might find, for example, vintage Dave Vincent (Morbid Angel) or early Possessed, going all the way back to the genre roots, casual listeners find themselves appalled by what started out as gravely growls and has evolved into full retching and intestinal spew. While desensitization through repeated listens is the obvious solution, some bands solve the problem wholesale by eschewing vocals at all. I’ve been let down lately by some of my favorite genres, and while perusing the almost picked-clean promo pit, my eyes were caught by a bit of a rare tag around these parts: “Instrumental black metal.” Osmium Gate have arrived with a platter devoid of any vocals, a curious name, and some gorgeous artwork to emphasize the atmospheres within. Let’s strap in for a carnivorous adventure!
Cannibal Universe is a melodic release, heavy on atmosphere and beauty filtered through the requisite heavy sheen. Though ostensibly described as black metal, the overall production and tone sidesteps fuzzed-out tropes or crystalline polish with a sound more reminiscent of modern death metal but utilizing black metal composition techniques. This imparts a thicker flavor to the requite snare-and-bass trem heavy riffing (“Booming Dunes”, “Blood Rain”) while adding extra brass knuckles to some atypically chug-heavy movements (“Waters of Natron”). A heavy focus on sustained open chords for big mood and pathos is a major tool in Osmium Gate’s wheelhouse, with slower, emptier sections that feel tailor-made for amphitheater reverb rather than the blistering assault typically found in blackened wares.
Cannibal Galaxy by Osmium Gate
Instrumental music needs to have a dollop of “busyness” to justify the lack of vocals, and at their best Osmium Gate have the chops to get the job done. “Sailing Stone” features a fantastic spot of noodlage where a lead runs interlocked with a separate rhythm for a full and complex emotive experience. Cannibal Universe spots a decent amount of such highlights, where fun leads and overlapping time signatures summon the spirit of Scale the Summit or Plini. Fret not, the occasional thunderous blast or vintage Intervals chug is never far away to remind you that there’s nothing “post” about this album. Title track “Cannibal Universe” throws everything into the kitchen sink, sculpting doom-tempo’d plods into an avalanche of chord progressions which immediately scale back into a dollop of Odious Mortem melody with infinitely better production. But the real climax comes in mid-album cut “Nacreous.” This is the jewel of the album, running a wistful, melancholic lead under blast beats, which are worked in more atmospheric conjuncture with the slow-moving melodies. Such a highlight is an easy contender for song of the year, channeling genuine catharsis and summoning up enough feelings to bring some mist to even Tyme‘s crusty, battle-hardened eyes.
It may be a strange critique given the genre, but the only real stumbling block facing Osmium Gate is that not all the songs warrant an instrumental presentation. There’s no cut across this album that is bad, and much that is quite enjoyable, perfect for stargazing or late-night drives under the moon. But the band’s insistence on using large open chord structures across the album leaves a great deal of unbusy, open space where I found myself instinctively expecting vocal lines to fill the void. These particular cuts (“Waters of Natron”) aren’t definitively poor in any real sense as much as feeling incomplete, with the chord structures telling a partial story and lacking a sense of fullness elsewhere in the album. Bands like Animals As Leaders and their ilk nail the instrumental presentation by ushering the listener from one passage to the next without leaving any space for extra flair, where literally and metaphorically the music does all the talking. Here, Osmium Gate make real effort and grasp the goal more than once, but not consistently across the album. Tellingly, the tracks that throw off such restrictions are the least traditionally black metal sounding, as it’s when the songs sound the most typical that they sound the most unfinished.
Still, I’ve enjoyed my time with Cannibal Universe as a nice detour from my usual brutal and blackened fare. There’s genuine chops and promise here, and you owe it to yourself to at least listen to “Nacreous”. Osmium Gate have offered up a delicious platter of melodic black metal with limitations entirely surmountable. I’m not necessarily encouraging them to go out and get a vocalist (though I have no doubt they’d be capable of making a good album with one), but to push their songwriting to match the highlights here across an entire platter. Nevertheless, this album has moments worthy of note and any lover of instrumental metal should find something worthy of interest to be devoured…

A frustrating morning at the gym. Took my Polar chest strap to measure hr for my intervals workout and it decided to spike each time l tried it so had to resort to using my watch for hr so unsure of accuracy. Anyway had a go at 4x4 minutes with 3 minutes rest today. #running #intervals #4x4minutes

Had to move tomorrow’s workout today. Mile warm up then 6 minutes 10k pace with 3 minutes jog recovery followed by 6x2 minutes at 5k pace with 90 seconds recovery then finishing the workout with a mile jog home. Not quite as good as I’d hoped as pace a little slower than expected #running #intervals #corosrunning #RunningCommunity #runnersofmastodon

4x4 minute intervals with 4 minutes static rest today. Started with 30 minutes warm up run, followed by the reps, averaging 4:40 min/km which isn’t bad considering the hot weather today, then finishing the workout with a slow 15 minute jog home #running #4x4minutes #intervals #vo2maxworkout #runnersofmastodon

🏃 Also der Juni läuft bisher gut, darf gerne so weiter gehen 😀

Got myself some Takumi Sen 10’s a few days ago. Just been out to give them a tryout with some interval work, just a short 2x4 minutes with a 15 minute warm up and 10 minutes tempo before the repeats and am very impressed #running #intervals #adidasrunning #runnersofmastodon #RunningCommunity

Treadmill intervals yesterday, 15 minutes warm up, 4x3 minutes with 2 minutes standing recovery and 10 minutes cool down. Set pace increasing from 4:50 min/km to 4.20 min/km, heart rate recovered by 36 bpm average for each rep, is that too much? #running #treadmillrunning #intervals #runnersofmastodon #RunningCommunity

Last but one intervals session done, 5x6 minutes with 2 minutes static recovery and 15 minutes warm up and 10 minutes cool down. Went out too fast on the first two so ended up struggling for the remainder and got out of breath more than once but job done, onto the next #running #intervals #adidasrunning #runnersofmastodon #RunningCommunity

Not saying today was a disaster as every run has a purpose but running 6 minute intervals in this hot weather wasn’t the best idea. Planned on running 6 intervals but just about managed even with a 3 minute walk rest. #running #intervals #adidasrunning #runnersofmastodon #RunningCommunity

Intervals day 🥵 a tough one today but well worth it, even dug my old Alphaflys for this one 😃 15 minutes warm up then 5x6 minutes with 2 minutes walking recovery which helped with keeping pace consistent on the repeats #running #10ktraining #intervals #speedrunning #adidasrunning #runnersofmastodon #RunningCommunity
