Transcending Obscurity Records - Label Sampler 2022
We're absolutely thrilled to reveal the highly anticipated 2022 Transcending Obscurity Label Sampler.
It's easily our best one yet and it's evident that we're moving more towards a forward-thinking direction where the sound goes - perhaps after decades of listening to metal, there's a need for something more demanding. There's a healthy mix overall and you can expect releases of several of these bands this year. Please check them out and feel free to spread the word of this free-for-download label sampler, with which we've also launched denim merch which we're making in-house as well. Thanks a ton for the support! - Kunal Choksi (label owner)
This is easily our most interesting label sampler, showcasing our new direction with more extreme, challenging and innovative music than the conventional ones on our roster. While there is still a healthy mix of the two, the future will see more forward-thinking music on the label. Ultimately though, it's all about the quality of music, and like always, there's enough diversity where all of this goes. Most of the bands participating here have yet to come up with new album material so the pace of the releases will eventually be curtailed. There are still commitments to fulfill and towards that end we'll do our best but 2022 will definitely see fewer releases than the recent years preceding it. Our intention is to delve into the music and do justice to it, using the platform that we've created over the years to give it the output and push it deserves. As always, we can't thank the bands enough for working with us and entrusting us with the propagation of their music, and of course to everyone who has supported the label in any way.
The label sampler has been segregated (probably for the last time) in the following manner, with emphasis given to the flow than anything else really
Tracks 1-12 - death metal
Tracks 13-15 - black metal
Tracks 16-30 - dissonant/brutal/atmospheric/experimental death metal
Tracks 30-33 - grindcore
Tracks 34-35 - doom/sludge metal
