Obelyskkh are back. After the band had been a little quiet in recent years, they celebrated a brilliant return at the South Of Mainstream Festival in September 2022. The show, which consisted only of new material, already showed clearly where the sonic journey is going: the psychedelic elements fade into the background and make way for increased pressure and a furious reckoning with noise and hardcore: focused, direct, without frills. The Ultimate Grace Of God is a child of the times and its challenges, whose story began in April 2017 with a walk through Antwerp: In the middle of an uninviting district with cold-looking apartment blocks, there is an unassuming, run-down hair salon with the words "THE ULTIMATE GRACE OF GOD" emblazoned across the shop window. The idea for the next Obelyskkh album was born. At the time, no one could have guessed that it would take almost five years from then until the idea for a physical release was implemented. After the second guitarist left right before release of the album The Providence, Obelyskkh had to restructure. They remembered the punk attitude of the early days and decided to pick it up again as a classic bass-guitar-drums power trio. Influences from old noise heroes such as KARP, Todd, Jesus Lizard or the Melvins became more and more noticeable when writing the new songs and they were written just as quickly as they were direct. A studio was found. A test recording by Moe Waldmann and Seeb Gerischer in the lovingly furnished Mach Ma Mecker recording studio in the remote solitude of the Franconian town of Breitengüßbach convinced everyone involved. Rosy future. New album almost in the can. It could start. Then Corona hit... Several studio dates were repeatedly postponed due to contact bans, until a small summer gap finally opened up. In a week, Obelyskkh pounded The Ultimate Grace Of God in, live and raw - a few overdubs here and there, followed by a gorgeous mastering by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege Studios, and the beast was done and waiting to be released. The cover art was created by an AI, fed with keywords from the Obelyskkh lyrics. But Corona was still there. A year passed and the album was gathering dust in a drawer. Then came the energy crisis. Then came inflation. The beer got so expensive that there was no money left to finish the album. And in no time at all it was 2022. Of course that's all a bit of an exaggeration, but it underlines above all: the Obelyskkh is tough. Just like the music: a loud, angry hunk of noise. And by the way; Despite all the crises, the hairdressing salon in Antwerp is still styling! The Ultimate Grace Of God will be released as a bundle of LP and CD as well as digitally. CD and digital contain two additional bonus tracks. The CD is included with the LP. There is no separate CD release.
