Biography:
Oblivio born from the will of two roman boys, Stefano [guitar] and Dario [bass]. They intend to give new life to the sonorities doom-death metal years '90. Emiliano [drums, childhood's friend of Dario] and Daniele [guitar, by a pleasant message on internet] join the band. The 4 decide to start playing the mythical album of the Katatonia "brave murder day", but the sound did not fulfill their wishes and finding a singer able to interpret those songs was difficult Then to add to these problems came the arrival of a new guitarist, mario, and the improvisation of dario behind the microphone. The group with the new line up plays its first concert to the "sonica" [Roma]. The concert goes well and is the point of departure for their most important moment, new singer massimo enters in the band [already in the almacridaem and in fearwell]. Unfortunaly at the same time stefano leaves because of personal reasons and the others decide to replace the powerful sound of a rhythmics with six rope with a quiter keyboard.
Meantime Oblivio in June 2005 begin the layout of the songs with the conclusive graft of Tiziana [now in Lykaion] to the keyboard that contributes to delineate the personal sound of the Oblivio. At the eve of the recordings of the demo Tiziana leaves for musical divergences but the group finds a new member ,Adriano, that immediately understands the musical message of Oblivio. The band records the demo "Songs for unforgettable suffering" in December 2005, reviewed very good by magazines and rock-metal webzines. After some exciting concerts, the band begins to write the songs for the next work intending to acquire more melody and impact leaving some bitterness of the previous release.
