Obtest

Obtest is an extreme metal band from Vilnius, Lithuania. They started out in 1992 as a brutal death metal act, but soon changed the style to black metal. Their lyrics are related to Lithuanian mythology and are sung in Lithuanian, though a few of the songs on their demos were in English. The band currently refers their music style as "heathen war heavy metal."

gollark: Well, maybe? I've never interacted with them except for seeing some walking around intimidatingly with guns at the train station for some reason.
gollark: I say keep the death penalty in cases of very obvious and bad things, i.e. acts of terrorism where someone... I don't know, published a manifesto saying "yes I am going to kill some people now", did so and got caught.
