This is another review of a recording from Florida's Equinox which shows the music going for a mixture of black and death metal and the album was originally released in 20023 and called "Journey To Oblivion" which will be re-issued in July 2024 by Vic Records and also consists of their promo 1994 demo and 1993 basement sessions as bonus tracks.
A very apocalyptic sounding intro starts off the album which also introduces keyboards onto the album which also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. Vocals are mostly black metal screams while the guitar riffing is more rooted in death metal and the faster sections of the tracks also add in a great amount of blast beats.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while tremolo picking is also added into some of the faster riffing. Growls are also utilized at times along with the solos and leads also being done in a very dark 90's style as well as a couple of tracks also being long and epic in length, the demo tracks also show more of a darker musical direction from the band.
On this recording Equinox went for more of a traditional blackened death metal style which was different from t he first release. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover darkness, death and occultism themes.
In my opinion this was another great sounding recording from Equinox and if you are a fan of blackened death metal, you should check out this re-issue. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Invasions Of The Angry Dead" "Crystallized" "Sword of Sirsir" and "Beyond". 8 out of 10.
