SHORT HISTORY:
Back in 2003 Dusan Brkovic started a project that involved rap and ambiental music. His original idea was to play that kind of sound live with standard rock lineup and acoustic drums. He gathered a crew which consisted of Tara Kerac behind drums, Slavko Pekaric SHAFT on guitar, Aleksandar Beljanski on bass, and Dusan himself doing vocals. The project was called HEADTRIP. Later Headtrip became a band, as they spent a lot of time rehearsing and hanging out together. After a while, the decision was made to put some individual influences in the music that band was playing and make the whole story much heavier. At the end, it all was a mix of rap, hardcore, metal and rock. Shortly after a few gigs and scratch recordings, the band disintegrated because of the lack of working spirit of some particular members.
BIRTH OF OBSCURED:
However, Dusan and Tara continued working and changed the concept of the band. Under a lot of influences of metal music, in 2005, they formed OBSCURED. The beginning was painful in terms of finding the appropriate lineup, especially guitar players, so there are a lot of former members. Bass players also represented a problem. Then, out of nowhere, Branislav Panic BANE (currently in Disdained with Tara), joined the band, but for some reasons played only during one rehearsal. Finally, Tara met Rastko Zekic RALE, still a member of Obscured. Nowadays, he is doing most of the guitar work and music writing. Shortly after RALE, the band got a rhythm guitarist Igor Idjuski SHILJA, who accompanied Rale in music writing. Megi (bass) joined the band immediately after Igor. After a successful year of playing with a full lineup, the band gained its reputation on the domestic scene. Then, they realized that the bass player had to be replaced because the songs were becoming more complex and faster, so Megi was replaced by Robert Tuvic ROBI, who recorded the all material that Obscured has done.
With this lineup the band recorded a demo in 2006, which is more like an average rehearsal recording. Soon after the demo, Obscured did a lot of concerts. None of them were profitable. Everyone in the band individually gathered money, so that Obscured could record a full-length studio album. That's how "WHEN DARKNESS COMES" became a reality. It was being recorded and mastered for almost six or seven months, because of the injuries and lack of money for re-recording some parts of the album.
The band is currently preparing a new set of songs, which will form (or so they hope) the second album. It is much heavier and faster in concept than anything that the band had done before, because it involves much more technical specters of death metal and traditional old-school thrash metal influences. Also, some of the black metal influences crawled in too, but they only represent small cuts in all the brutal and heavy atmosphere.
In November 2008, Robert Tuvic left Obscured and they’ve found a replacement: Karolj Burai (Khargash) from the band M.A.D Goya as a bass player. After that change the band focused on new songs which are much darker and more brutal than those from the first album. After 8 long months and some great gigs Obscured finally managed to perform on the legendary EXIT festival in July 2009.
After that festival Obscured had some serious problems: Dusan Brkovic (vocalist and former member) left the band, several days later Igor Idjuski (guitar player) was replaced by Srki (ex-Disdained). Nowadays the band members are writing their second full-length material…

There once was a time in the land where the sun was worshiped as god and its embrace with the moon made the earth hold its breath as time stood still in silence, and at that hour the smothered sun shall cloak the whole world in the dead blackness of midnight giving birth to the Element Of Eclipse.
