Rugientes blast beats con variados, envolventes y pegadizos riffs acompañados de guturales macabros pero entendibles, los numerosos cambios de tempo sustentan todo el disco de manera frescas y atractiva.
Reseñas / Reviews
“Tenemos un trabajo que nos remonta a parte de sus inicios, un Death Metal furioso y rápido, cimentado en la vieja escuela, inyectándole cierta su dosis de melodía a los temas, así mismo esa voz mezclándose bien entre el Death y el Black, sonando furiosos y a la vez brutal, una poderosa combinación, poseedores de un buen sonido, algo que se agradece hoy día” The Dark Melody 7,6/10

“The variation in styles across Stellar Stream Obscured is key to its success. The way tremolo picking is used to build otherwise death metal riffs injects a frantic energy (“Let Us Descend”) and ludicrously infectious bounce (“The Spinning Tomb”). Conversely, the death doom that rears its head like a creature from the netherworld (“Ancient Visitors,”) or sulks melancholically (“The Powers of Suffering that Be,” “Apocalyptic Serenity”) adds depth, and an appropriate amount of slime. Sarcasm also scatter neoclassical licks and solos all about the place, ramping up the hyperactivity (“Through the Crystal Portal”), or creating a surprising lushness (“Obsidian Eyes”). There’s even a bit of piano (“Obsidian Eyes,” “Apocalyptic Serenity”), which in the latter instance, leads into a frankly gorgeous doomy refrain. “The Spinning Tomb” starts with an air raid siren. Why? Don’t know. But that’s the kind of madness that’s entirely tolerable, and fun.” Angry Metal Guy

“For my own taste this is a considerable piece of melodic death metal music from a band who’ve proven long-standing legs in my own collection with prior releases; This does admittedly create some bias, or, fandom wherein I quickly recognized the level of artistry available and have gleefully embraced such fine work. Nonetheless, this does not create blinders to quality craft and this is some of Sarcasm‘s best. Highest possible recommendation.” Mystification 10/10

“What else is there left to say about this release other than the fact that it is exceptional! Sarcasm has had quite the storied past however I would argue that this release has some of the bands best work on it. I highly recommend getting your hands on a copy of this release if you can.” The Rock Fix

“Sarcasm showed early on that they were willing to incorporate melodies into black and death metal in slightly different ways than some of their peers, and they’ve demonstrated this across multiple albums some thirty years later. While the core elements are familiar, the way everything comes together still feels different and the material here has plenty of epic sounding melodies and heavy riffs to have some real staying power. Sarcasm’s consistency since their 2017 album is worth noting, and they’ve delivered what I think is the first truly great death metal of 2022.” Metal Trenches 9,3/10

“‘Stellar Stream Obscured’ è un grande album death metal, pluripotente nella sua “antichità”, e dimostra al mondo che i Sarcasm sono da annoverare tra i grandi del genere: non hanno raccolto quanto dovuto nella prima parte della loro carriera, ma se lo meritano, eccome.” Loud and Proud 85/100
