Lars Gotrich To call this metal is a stretch, but Return to Earth's corkscrew ballast is definitely metal-friendly. Think: The Mars Volta before it went off the prog deep-end, hook-forward Mike Patton projects, Nine Inch Nails' sonically-dense-yet-accessible electronics and latter-era Dillinger Escape Plan's WTF experiments. www.vikingschoice.org/archive/medieval-metal-french-folk-harp-improv/ Favorite track: In Pieces.

BigHisses this is such a cool freaking album. there is an energy no other band I know has. accessible this isn't: structure is eschewed, familiar sounds they aren't, comfort is a luxury, and few songs have a chorus. this is a grower, you'll be taken in by the energy and once you stop trying to put it into a box, you'll soon have yourself listening front to back on the regular. Favorite track: Codex.

about

Oblivion is the mind-bending next chapter from Return To Earth — the band’s third album, following 2007’s Captains of Industry, and 2010’s Automata (released on Metal Blade Records).

In the decade following the release of Automata, the band became more self-sufficient as producers and engineers. They also may or may not have dissolved before reuniting virtually in 2020 to finish their latest record.

Oblivion was conceived, written and produced by Return To Earth, and mixed and mastered by Chris Pennie, known for his work as a founding member of The Dillinger Escape Plan and a long stint playing drums in Coheed & Cambria. The new album is the darkest and most symphonic of the band’s career — featuring guitar-driven singles “Codex” and “Wolf Bait” and the electronic, cinematic “Favor From God” and “Forget My Face.”
