Obtest is a Lithuanian extreme metal band from Vilnius. They started out in 1992 as a death metal act, but soon changed the style to pagan metal/black metal. Their lyrics are related to Lithuanian mythology and are sung in Lithuanian, though a few of the songs on their demos were in English. The band refers their music as "heathen war metal".
