Stream Castevet’s Virtuosic ‘Obsian’ and Check Out a List of Their Guitarist’s Favorite Guitarists

Castevet‘s new album Obsian is clearly the band’s finest hour, a masterwork from the NYC metal trio featuring new bassist Nick McMaster (Krallice) alongside existing members Andrew Hock (Psalm Zero) and Ian Jacyszyn (Copremesis, Veins, others). Progressive is the first descriptor that comes to mind, but the six-track effort is far from 35+ minutes of obtuse wankery; the NYC trio have crafted complex, far from predictable yet triumphant LP that dabbles in elements of black metal and death metal. Stream Obsian in full below for the first time.
