Oblomov hails from the Czech Republic, where Honza Vanek (vocals, guitars, drums), Pavel Dlabaja (guitars, vocals), and Martin Hora (bass, keyboards, programming, saxophone, etc.) began formulating their astronomical black metal in the year 2000. Their first demo, Final Destination, was completed a year later, and 2003's Wishing the Renaissance EP paved the way for a full-length debut in 2005's Mighty Cosmic Dances, featuring music inspired by the regimented, quasi-industrial black metal of Samael or Anaal Nathrakh, and lyrics informed by science fiction authors like Isaac Asimov and Robert Silverberg. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia, Rovi
