About Oberst:
Hailing from Oslo, Norway, Oberst emerges as a compelling force in the metal scene. The dynamic quartet was bound by a shared passion for music rather than a specific genre, and their sound evolved finding common ground with bands like Mastodon, Baroness, Converge, and Cult of Luna. However, the band’s unique imprint extends beyond these influences, drawing from individual members’ diverse musical backgrounds, spanning classic rock and jazz to modern pop.

The release of their self-titled debut EP in 2015 was met with critical acclaim and praised as «some of the best metal produced in Norway for a long time» –HISSIG.
The singles from the 4-track EP got played and recommended on national radio and featured on the acclaimed Norwegian TV series «Unge Lovende». In 2020 Oberst released their debut album “Paradise”, and received praise for their ability to blend huge, warm and atmospheric riffs with hectic and catchy elements driven by intense and at times manic vocals.

After the release of their EP, Oberst signed with Indie Recordings, and released the debut album “Paradise” in 2020.
