Relative Obscurity

About Me

Relative Obscurity are back with a revamped lineup and a debut full-length CD, "From Within" now available.

Formed in 2006, Relative Obscurity has become one of the more respected and supported bands to hit the West Virginia scene. The band is influenced by a wide range of music, notably classic metal, straight up rock and roll, and modern hard rock and metal. The influences blend into a style that, while having a decidedly old-school sound, offers something for every rock fan, young and old.

Make sure to check out Relative Obscurity at their high energy shows when they play near you!
