Sitting somewhere between Swedish and Finnish styles, the debut LP from Cynabare Urne brings some much-needed ambition to Scandinavian death metal. Listening to this, one cannot help but feel that this is the band Entrails could have been after their reformation, had they not consistently leant towards limited d-beats and melodeath stylings from album to album. 'Obsidian Daggers and Cinnabar Skulls' takes the meaty guitar tone, fat drums, guttural but clear vocals of the Swedish masters, and adds an additional layer of darkness to the riffs courtesy of a pronounced Demigod influence.
