Beneath Oblivion, Sea of Bones, Fin'amor

"Beneath Oblivion is an experimental sludgy, funeral doom band from Cincinnati, OH that started in 2003. Records are released through the Mylene Sheath. Tours DIY all over.. Has new music on the horizon, to be released on vinyl and in digital formats."


Started in early 2005 by three friends who have known each other for a long time. It is a dark, angry, contemplative mix of sound and emotion. "A dissonant psychedelic wall of sound". They have drawn comparisons to Neurosis, Swans, Buried at Sea, Pelican and Mastodon.

"Sea of Bones' atmospheric sludge is even bleaker than Neurosis'. The only color is shades of black. Ultra-heavy riffs rumble below distant smears of feedback. The sound is super fuzzed out, with buried vocals and occasional textural breathers." - Cosmo Lee (Decibel Magazine)


The name Fin'amor is derived from a 12th century literary theme focused on the existence and prevalence of "pure" or "true" love. Though inaccurately believed to translate to "End of Love", Fin'amor more ironically reads " Love until the End" Too often on earth and in music is the true value of existence lost because of our unwillingness to deviate from complacency. In an attempt to wrought beauty out of sorrow and invoke love in the place of hate, Fin'amor was conceived in the Summer and formed in the Fall of 2008 by Julian, Nodar, Aleksey, and Benjamin. In the Winter of the following year George and Raphael joined the lineup. Shortly after we began performing live, we introduced a new drummer, Winston. After countless shows and some remedial attention, the band hit a breaking point and Winston, Aleksey, and Benjamin parted ways with Fin'amor. Though the band seemed hopelessly wounded, Julian, Nodar, and Raphael tarried on, and with the grace of fate, Fin'amor was not yet extinguished. Soon after Slava joined on bass, Nodar took over keys, and Eugene joined on drums. With the musicians in place, Benjamin returned on Vocals.

With Julian and Raphael on guitars, Slava on Bass, Eugene on drums, Nodar on keyboards, and Benjamin on Vocals; Fin'amor exists to resurrect the beauty of pleasure and pain, amidst the stale desolation of apathy.
