Obliveon were a Canadian Progressive Thrash metal band from Quebec. The group was formed in 1987 originally as Oblivion, but had to change the spelling after discovering a band of the same name in the United States.^[1] Obliveon's second album, the self-released Nemesis (1993) 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]
