Obliveon were a Canadian progressive metal band from Quebec. The group was formed in 1987 originally as Oblivion, but had to change the spelling after discovering a band of the same name in the United States. Obliveon's second album, the self-released NemesisĀ has since been "lauded as a tech metal cornerstone." According to Canvas Solaris drummer Hunter Ginn, Nemesis " the very essence of tech."
