Album Review: Flynn Effect - Obsidian

StarStarStarHalf Star

"The music is sometimes dark and heavy, sometimes soft and wistful, sometimes symphonic and bombastic, but always compelling."

Australia is absolutely awash with high-quality alternative heavy rock and Brissie four-piece Flynn Effect only add to that canon.

Setting this band apart, however, is the soulful singing of Tomina Vincent. She really does reach to the corners of her soul and summon all of her emotions in the delivery of her heartfelt lines on Obsidian. Check out her work on Gone and ballad-esque The Fight for proof.

The music is sometimes dark and heavy, sometimes soft and wistful, sometimes symphonic and bombastic, but always compelling.

Obsidian is another exceptionally strong Aussie rock release.
