About Me

Obsidion have been together since 2004, they started out as a two piece -guitars and drums- quietly writing and perfecting their songs before they were asked to play their first gig, at which they received an amazing response. They however were not happy with the current state of affairs feeling that they weren't doing themselves justice. This is when Chris joined the band as rhythm guitarist, adding a meatier and more crushing sound to Obsidion and giving P-A more freedom as far as leads and solos went. They played many local gigs after that, premiering new material such as 'Awake Arise or Forever be Fallen' until their search for a keyboardist was succesful. James joined the ranks in 2006 before the Marina Live show, adding yet another layer to Obsidion sounds with his epic keyboards. In the Autumn of 2006 Obsidion recorded a three track self-titled demo, the demo which will be available late spring/early summer has received much praise from fans and a glowing review from borninblood.co.uk "Weâ€™re talking about some of the finest talent the Emerald Isle has produced in a very long time." The band will be back to the live circuit this summer with some new epic tracks and hopefully a singer.TO SEE MORE OF OBSIDION CHECK OUT THEIR OTHER SITE WITH MORE VIDS AND PICS, THANKS: http://obsidionmetal.bebo.com AND HERES OUR OBSIDION FAN PAGE IF YOU WANT TO JOIN: http://groups.myspace.com/Obsidion..

OBSIDION demo review from www.borninblood.co.uk

How often can a band as young as Obsidion qualify as quite frankly epic? We aren't talking about self indulgent works of an instrumentalist here. We're talking about some of the finest talent the Emer...
