The new band Majesties features Obsequiae’s Tanner Anderson, Carl Skildum, and Matthew Kirkwold from Inexorum. Their music is old-school Gothenburg-style melodic death metal in the vein of In Flames and At The Gates, and they couldn’t do it better.

Stream “The World Unseen” from Majesties’ forthcoming debut Vast Reaches Unclaimed. The main riff sounds straight out of the ’90s.

Skildum explained that “‘The World Unseen’ provides a broad representation of the surreal lyrical themes of the record, especially an out-of-body experience.” In this song, a mind is untethered to a physical form, free from physical constraints as it flows through the world. The verse riff from a 1997 riff tape is part of the deep roots of this song.”
