OBZIDIAN: join Rocksector for upcoming 3rd album
May 10, 2014
Obzidian have signed with Rocksector Records to release their 3rd full length offering due for release September 2014, the follow-up to the highly acclaimed 2012 album "Damned Eternal".
Obzidian goes back to the founders' high school days when Baz (guitars), Paul (drums) and Jeffsy (bass) formed the basis of the band in 2001. Having added a couple of further members in the formative years, by early 2005 the line-up was stripped back to just one guitarist, Baz, whilst Matty J was added as frontman and vocalist, and the band's current groove-laden sound was conceived
In March 2007 the band signed with Casket Records and went on to release their self-titled debut in 2007 and "Damned Eternal" in 2012. They played extensively in support of these two releases building a solid reputation across the UK, sharing the stage with the likes of Sepultura, Crowbar and Arch Enemy.
"A touch of Sabbathy doom and a hint of death metal violence" Kerrang!
Now in 2014 they unleash their 3rd full length offering "Concrete Psychosis" which is set for release on 8th September on Rocksector Records.
Mark Appleton, label manager at Rocksector says "We first saw Obzidian playing live in Manchester and they immediately impressed. Later when we heard the early mixes of the album we were struck by the extraordinarily tight brutal sound which is clear, concise and immense. They're an exciting prospect for the label and we relish the opportunity to work with them"
