The band was named after the Gorguts album Obscura. I agree with this band, too - no bad albums. Currently they are my favorite metal band.
I only wish they re-recorded their debut album because songs are great, band played them very good but the sound quality isn't very good because they self-released this album with no financial suport. They couldn't afford good studio equipment and staff.
For example, Theocracy re-recorded their debut album.

Have to disagree here. It was all downhill from Follow the Reaper and Relentless Reckless Forever was just god awful. Halo of Blood was a fantastic comeback though. I Worship Chaos was ok.
