Obscurant is a Finnish band that performs death metal in its more atmospheric and melodic vein. The band came into existence in late 2000 as a solo-project of Luukkainen but after songs really started coming, Obscurant slowly grew into a fulltime band with a full line-up.
Obscurant signed a contract with Woodcut Records in autumn 2001, and started to work with their debut album.
The recording sessions of Obscurant's debut full-length album took place at Sundi-Coop Studio in the break of March and April 2002. Obscurant spent two weeks recording and mixing the ten actual tracks and a couple of bonus songs. The result was the album that bears the name "Lifeform: Dead".
In late 2003 Honkonen announced that he would quit playing in Obscurant so Luukkainen decided to take care the bass in the recording of the second full-lenght album. Obscurant booked some studio time for August 2004 from Sam's Workshop. After two and a half weeks the second offering titled "First Degree Suicide" was born. The album consists of nine tracks of depressive and atmospheric death metal which will surely leave no-one cold. Or it might do just that.
In Winter 2005 Viljanen joined the band as the official bass-rapist, and Obscurant did gigs around Finland following the release of "First Degree Suicide" -album. In summer 2006, Järvinen & Kaakkolahti announced that they would quit playing in Obscurant. Couple of months later Rautio joined the band to take care of the rhythm guitar.
Then in Spring 2007, a new drummer Pakkanen was found, and his powerful rhythmic beat left band members astounded. Now all the pieces are in their right place and Obscurant is stronger than ever.
