Obscure Devotion was born back in 1996 in Potenza (Lucania - South Italy ) by the hands of Roberto Tursi (Cabal Dark Moon) and Davide Tantone (Kobalt Black Sky) all 16 years old. Born from the ashes of various projects, Obscure Devotion recorded his first demo tape called “Dark Melodies For Sunset” back in 1997, with the help of Walter Basile (from Black Metal band Black Sunrise) as session drummer but using a drum sequencer. The demo, pressed in just 100 copies, got the interest from Elegy Records from Italy that offered the band a #2 albums record deal. “Son Of A Dayless Night”, the first full length, was recorded in 1998 with the same line-up of the demo (but this time with acoustic drums) and then released in 1999.
