Obliveon

about

Obliveon was formed in January 1987, Montreal, Québec, Canada under the almost same name of Oblivion. Martin Gagné and Stéphane Picard were the only original members from the first line-up, rounded up at the time by Francis Giguère. Two demos were recorded by the power trio in that year; the first one in March and the second one, Whimsical Uproar, in September. In 1989, after the departure of Francis, the band upgraded the line-up to a quartet. New drummer Alain Demers and guitarist Pierre Rémillard (ex-A Perfect Murder) completed the line-up, which lasted for four years. They recorded the successful Fiction Of Veracity demo. The year 1990 saw the release of the band's first full length album for Active Records, entitled From This Day Forward. Despite the fact that the album received good reviews and worldwide acclaim, the album suffered from a lack of promotion, which eventually led the band to part ways from that label. The album was distributed in Europe exclusively but it still helped the quartet to get further in their young career. This album was then re-released in Canada by Press Play Records. It had an entirely new lay-out and it was re-mastered. In 1993, Obliveon released its second album entitled Nemesis, a self-financed success, selling around five thousand units without official distribution and without the support of a label. Rave reviews from around the world helped establish the band as one of the most professional band in Québec, with the likes of Voïvod a
