Oblivion, who's 2013 debut we've called one of the must-own albums of the year, has signed to Unique Leader Records! Expect great things.
Oblivion have a really strange line-up, first of all. To quote the Unique Leader site:
The band features an all-star cast of metal musicians.: bassist Ben Orum was the founder and primary songwriter in All Shall Perish, lead singer Dr. Nick Vasallo is a professor of Music and internationally acclaimed modernist composer, guitarist Victor Dods is completing his PhD in Math, guitarist Ted O’Neill is a 25 year veteran from the scene, and drummer Luis Martinez is a young musical phenom trained by Ndugu Chancler.
I guess you really can't ask for much more of a strange group to make a sick death metal record, but I've also never looked into the oddities of metal line-ups. Anyway, cool that they've gotten enough recognition to make a label become interested in their work. Not that they don't deserve it! Check out their debut Called to Rise and let us know what you think! I personally love it.
