Fiction of Veracity
Awakening Records is proud to reissue all material from Canadian metal legends OBLIVEON on CD! All have original cover artwork, are re-mastered, and have bonus tracks.
OBLIVEON emerged in January 1987 when three guys from Montreal decided to transform a fun pastime into a musical career. During this same year, two demos launched in March and September circulated on the underground alternative scene, leaving a positive Impression. The band took its accurate take-off with the output in 1989 of the demo Fiction of Veracity recorded with the arrival of a second guitarist and a new drummer.
Because of the trend that prevailed at that time, OBLIVEON was initially labeled a death metal act. However, the band always developed its identity by exploring original and contemporary sonorities. Today, while preserving the intensity of its roots, the quintet’s sound incorporates various musical moods to create a cosmic environment connected to Cybermetal guitar riffs and rhythmic percussion.
The fourth and last album, Carnivore Mothermouth, came out in the summer of 1999. With the output of this last opus, the group pushed back the limits even further from its particular and futuristic style.
After releasing four studio albums, OBLIVEON disbanded in 2002 but has reunited occasionally.
In 2021, OBLIVEON reunited to write new material for an upcoming album.
