"Unless you’ve been living off the grid, under a bridge, with only a dead dog to keep you company, you’ve already heard of OBLIVIONIZED. Probably a lot. Taking a page from the punk rock bible, they’ve been working tirelessly since 2008, playing gigs so frequently they’re as familiar as disgruntled, pushy commuters in London, North Face jackets in Liverpool or fake tans in Newcastle. And between writing, packaging and designing releases, updating YouTube with practice videos and recording sessions, booking international bands and organising their own shows, and the countless other DIY promo activities doubtlessly taking up all of their time – if anyone lives and breathes their band, it’s these guys."
-Zero Tolerance Magazine

OBLIVIONIZED have been gigging solidly since late 2010 and have since toured the UK and parts of Europe, as well as headlining the 2011 Vulgar Fest in South Italy amongst other European festival appearances, and independent tours through 2012.
 
In addition to regular independently booked shows around the UK, the band have booked several tours for 2013 which include a UK tour with Leng Tch’e in May and a tour with Feastem in June; as well as being confirmed to play with Cryptopsy at the London Underworld and this years Obscene Extreme Festival in the Czech Republic.
