Tales Of Pythia E.P.

      
         
         
         
     
             
Oracle are a groove metal band from the UK formed in 2015, with their debut release, the five song E.P. 'Tales Of Pythia', emerging in 2018.    
             
Harsh vocals, crunching riffs, very heavy and thundering is about the only way I can describe the debut release from Oracle. The one minute opener 'Deny' is both menacing and aggressive as it stomps heavily forward, launching forth into the rumbling romp 'No God Waits For You'. Sharp edged guitars buzz relentlessly as 'No God Waits For You' strides on with a force heavy enough to crush anything that stands in its way. Immediate and intense, 'No God Waits For You' is a violent slap around the head.    
             
'The High Priestess' is all menace and snarling aggression as it begins at a doom metal pace, before lurching forward at pace. Powerful and punchy, 'The High Priestess' screams angrily, packing a violent drop kick to the head. Senses are gonna be pummelled and crushed as Oracle continue their merciless aural assault with the furious 'Burn The Nameless'. Full of in your face attitude and aggression. 'Burn The Nameless' is a pace changing ruthless rampage of savagery.    
             
Since their inception over three years ago, Oracle have gigged constantly, honing their skills to become a very tight and cohesive unit. Fans of bands such as Meshuggah and Lamb Of God will lap this E.P. up. 'Prisons' brings an end to a crushing twenty minute barrage of savagery with a mighty explosion of canon fire, err no, wait, that's not right, 'Prisons' is actually heavier and much more mighty than canon fire... fucking hell, just how crushingly heavy can this band get. Future releases will give us the answer, but for now, press the replay button and get yourself brutally hammered once more.    
             
Overall, crushingly heavy and savage, Oracle deliver twenty minutes of aggression fuelled brutality, leaving you battered and bruised.
