Heavily influenced by the savage thrash of Slayer, etc., within a year the talented young group had issued a high-quality demo and quickly began to capture the interest of legendary labels such as Combat, Metal Blade, and Roadrunner.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eOver the course of the near-decade that followed, \u003cstrong\u003eOBLIVION\u003c\/strong\u003e would weather a number of lineup changes and go on to release an impressive seven demos between 1985 and 1990. With time, the band logically injected their initial take on raw, ferocious thrash with more technical and melodic influences, as well as an occasionally streamlined hardcore\/punk attack—no surprise given \u003cstrong\u003eOBLIVION\u003c\/strong\u003e's lineup ties to other cult New Jersey crossover\/hardcore acts such as Lethal Aggression and Social Decay.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, like so many promising metal bands of the time period, their wealth of output; support from zines, tape traders, and radio; and interest from a slew of record companies—among them major label MCA—were simply not enough. OBLIVION failed to secure a proper recording contract and came to an end in the early-'90s, as their once-ceaseless dedication finally wore out...\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eBut now, decades later, Divebomb Records is delighted to announce \u003cem\u003eCyclogenesis: Songs for Armageddon\u003c\/em\u003e.
