Obscure Devotion was born back in 1996 in Potenza (Lucania - South Italy ) by the hands of Roberto Tursi (Cabal Dark Moon) and Davide Tantone (Kobalt Black Sky) all 16 years old.

Anyway, the band started playing some live shows to promote the hard work did in the studio and so the first dates appeared.

With no drummer, the activities of the band were putted on ice for almost 3 years. In the meantime some problems occurred with the label, e
