The band Obnounce was formed by Rastko Gracin (guitar), Matjaž Kovacic (bass guitar) and Kruno Karlovcec (drums) in the middle of autumn 1998. Rastko & Matjaž previously played in band Crastavci and band Skepsa. Rastko also played in band called Perpetuum Mobile. The music they wanted to play with new band called Obnounce had many influences and ideas joined with their common wishes for aggressive and melodic metal. In winter 1998 Dejan IljeÅ¡ (rhythm guitar), Robert Grnjak (keyboards) and Mitja Trot (vocals) joined the band. Because of lack of time Mitja soon leaves the band and Robert decided to take over the vocal duties and Dejan Razlag takes the place as keyboard player! Obnounce then starts to tour around the local area: Ormož - Unterhund, Ljutomer - Youth center, Å entilj - Doomfest, Open Air Festivals in Izola and Velenje. The lack of time is the reason for Dejan IljeÅ¡’ departure from the band in year 2000 and soon drummer Kruno leaves the band as well. Nothing happens until February and April 2001 when Darko Sencar (drums) and DuÅ¡an Markovic (rhythm guitar) join the band. At this time the band continues with their work and soon the hard work gets repayed. Concerts all over eastern Slovenia started in spring 2001. In August 2001 they recorded Demo CD for need of getting known in clubs and youth centers all over Slovenia and they are also interested in cooperating with clubs, youth centers and simmilar from across the Europe. In February 2002 the band recorded song Rage of Disease which is on Slovenian metal compilation volume 1 and they continue with concerts all over Slovenia & Austria with known slovenian & other bands. In this time, band Obnounce has become important and one of the best slovenian metal bands. In year 2004 the band takes a break from concerts and takes a time for studio work. A final result of concert break is realese of their debut album called Remnants Of Humanity which comes out in end of March 2005. Album was released from the one & only slovenian metal label called On Parole Productions and it’s represented with band’s own work and eight songs of melodic death/black metal with influences of gothic and thrash metal. In end of March was also released by On Parole Productions a metal compilation New Order volume one on which is band Obnounce represented with song Soul Reaper. Then the band had a tour all over Slovenia, on which they promoted their debut album Remnants Of Humanity. The successful tour was concluded on the biggest Slovenian metal festival Metalcamp 05. At the end of the year 2005 they stopped playing at live concerts and put all their time and energy into making of new album. Their rhythm guitarist DuÅ¡an Markovic left the band in summer of 2006 and was replaced by Ciril Kocbek. In autumn 2006 they take time for recording of all new material.
