Outis is the debut album from the Slovakian blackened death metal band Ceremony Of Silence.

Oútis is tumultuous by nature. Vilozof’s vocals knowingly sit low in the mix so as to emphasize the instrumentation. His bass work is as adept as his riffing and waxes and wanes between Svjatogor’s drums and the frenetic guitar lines. While Vilozof’s stirring leads garner the most attention, Svjatogor’s turn behind the kit does not go unnoticed. Clearly a pupil of the Sandoval school of rhythm, his style utilizes air-tight blasting and a militaristic kick. But his fills are the real star, full of half-beats and improvised runs. Arguably, this is an album that could equally be enjoyed were it instrumental. As it is, the inclusion of vocals simply provides an, albeit subtle, bonus.
