Obliveon is a Canadian progressive death/thrash metal band from Quebec. The group was formed in 1987 as Oblivion, but changed the spelling after discovering a band of the same name in the United States.[1] Obliveon's second album, the self-released Nemesis, has since been "lauded as a tech metal cornerstone."[2] According to Canvas Solaris drummer Hunter Ginn, Nemesis "[sounds like] the very essence of tech."[1] After releasing four studio albums, Obliveon disbanded in 2002 but has reunited occasionally over the years, and they have discussed the possibility of writing new material.[3][4]
