After a few line-up changes over the past 5 years, Kingston, ON. natives Obsidian solidified their sound and artistic direction. Vocalist Turi Mercuri, guitarist Andrew Postlethwaite, guitarist Ryan Chalmers, bassist Kevin Brezina and drummer Phil Elliot have melded the punk, metal and rock genres, much like nature infuses the ingredients that form the rock from where the group takes its name.

The band has recently finished the recording of their new LP with producer Matt DeMatteo (Hawksley Workman, Danko Jones, Big Wreck, Mobile) and are looking forward to its 2007 release. A selection of songs from the LP are now available on their ‘Ultimate Disaster’ EP.
