Eleven full-length albums, (27) singles, (9) live albms, and (10) compilations & EPs and they are still going strong!  Songs this week include: “Sway”  from Neverland  (1995) “Evermore And Again”  from Blue  (199...

This episode is obviously rooted firmly in our Should Have Been category. Mother Superior may be the most obscure band that we’ve covered on a “Grave Mistakes…” episode yet. They may be recognized for their name from a Rollins Band or Motor Sister perspective, but their full discography as Mother Superior has been lost on most and needs some love! We hope we turn you on to this amazing rock n’ rol...

What is it we do here at InObscuria? In the beginning, good always overpowered the evils of all man's sins... But in time the nations grew weak, and our cities fell to slums while evil stood strong. In the dust of hell, lurked the blackest of hates; for he whom, they feared awaited them... Now many many lifetimes later lay destroyed beaten down and only the corpses of rebels, ashes of dreams, and...

Kevin did not visit his ancestors in the old family crypt for inspiration this week. This episode is the second one to be brought to you from the mind of Robert Harrison.
