#plushiemusicwednesday is here again 😃 and today #brynsmusicselection would like to present something quite different to the previous bands. This one is from my mummy’s homeland, Poland, from the capital city, Warsaw.
The Obscure Sphinx project was formed in 2008 with a specific goal in mind: to grab the listener’s hand, take them on the brink of madness, tell them about it, and bring them back safely. Their live performances resemble dark rituals of untold fears and shrieking repressed emotions. Although musically they seem to have found their place somewhere between post and doom metal, they are not afraid to search for inspirations in other genres. Constantly toying with conventions, Obscure Sphinx merges sonic spaces and electronic samples with the crushing combo of 8-string guitars and 6-string bass rhythmics. All of this is flavoured by a unique voice of the vocalist. The band won the “New Blood Award” 2012, an award for newcomer-bands hosted by the famous German festival “Summer Breeze Open Air”.
