Okular - PROBIOTIC CD

Okular´s 'Probiotioc' features progressive death metal. Editor of heavymetal.no Yngve Jacobsen, highlights the album for having "very focused arrangements, which is not easy to accomplish in this genre. Okulars´ metal maintains a good flow even at high tempos"and for featuring "brutal yet controlled vocals. Never too guttural or too screamy."
According to Oystein G. Brun of Borknagar, the album offers a "philosophical outburst rarely found in the metal scene, avoiding the usual cliches and bringing forth personal and independent thought’s that projects and stimulates pondering about existence- which ultimately goes beyond mankind’s limited terms. The music is as heavy and sharp as death metal anno 2011 is supposed to sound, but with an organic touch and flow. The album displays an original and interesting visual approach which unites the music and lyrics into a forceful unit."
