Powerful and manly Heavy Thrash Black Metal from Austria! For Fans of Havukruunu, Nero or the Fall of Rome and Cirkeln.
Out of the ashes of black'n'roll duo "Sturmwacht" and as a side project to Melodic Death Metal band "Doomed To Fail", Toblakai was started by René Müller in 2019.
The aim was to channel the passion for black and thrash metal and to use the solo-project framework to write, record and produce music without any limitations in regards to genre or target audience. Already with the first EP "One", Alex Fürbass (drums) and Immanuel Liebmann (vocals) - both also part of Doomed To Fail - were happy to pitch in and help out with adding their skills to the recording sessions. Once the creative juices started flowing, more output was created, and roughly one year after the EP, the first full length "Puritans Hand" took shape. The songs are filled with influences from black, thrash and heavy metal, and the record was fully recorded and produced by René Müller. Soon after the recordings were finished, the three musicians decided to turn the solo-project into a full fledged band and started working on new material again.
The band name is inspired by Steven Erikson's "Malazan Book of the Fallen", where the character Karsa Orlong is both a merciless killer and a liberator of slaves, both a brute savage and a man pondering the lessons of civilization, both a barbarian, yet often wiser than so-called civilized people. Most of all, he forges his own destiny.
Toblakai remains a project dedicated to the tastes of the three musicians and does not aim to please an audience, but will gladly welcome any listener who shares the same tastes. No guidelines, no trends, no goals. Just metal. Witness.

This band NEVER disappoints. Pure pagan Black Metal, with tremendous riffs, great melodies and an enshrouding atmosphere. TOP of the year. Ancient Cult

This is another sublime achievement from Ovnev. The percussion on the album is better than the last one, but otherwise we have the consistent beauty that fans have come to expect. There are a lot of quieter moments that are integrated very well. Metallurgical Fire

These musicians know how to drive music straight to the heart. Black metal is more than a cold premise for refined guitar work and multiple changes inside each song. Lyrics too are incredibly inspired and matching with music. Marrasmieli is a newborn flower, still covered by dew's brightness. Aallot is in particular a lesson of emotional crescendo, especially in second half of the song but in general, all the tracklist remains on the peak of the best inspiration. Best of luck to them! fleba_il_fenicio

This album uses death metal and black metal elements to form compositions with mainly doom tempos, while delivering a small dose of furious and potent blasting. The searing vocals give this album a palpable atmosphere of melancholy and despair, and label mate Déhà adds excellent touches with his symphonic arrangements. Matt Richardson
