Oberst to play by:Larm 2020

We are extremely proud to be picked as one of the “jury’s selection” to play by:Larm 2020.

More info TBA.

From by:larm:

“Like a proper bastard child of hardcore and metal, Oberst offer the listener a multifaceted slab of heaviness: furious riff-o-ramas sliding into slow, doomy dystopian soundscapes which can evoke a fear of the apocalypse in unprepared listeners. This is music for grandiose moods, whether it be anger, fear, the prospect of death or even hope.

Oberst has been a regular figure to be found on Norwegian club venues dedicated to more down-tuned guitar paths, which with time has garnered them attention both at home and abroad. Now, the band is prepared to step out of the underground and into the consciousness of the metal masses.”

New single "Vagabonds" is out NOW!

Our second single from our upcoming debut album is out NOW!

“Vagabonds is probably the most accessible and catchy song on the album, even though the theme of it revolves around heavy concepts like fleeing and persecution. The verse has a really cool and gritty country- vibe, probably a little inspired by bands like Baroness, while the chorus is a big and memorable anthem.”

New single "A Stranger Place pt. II" is out NOW

Our first single from our upcoming debut album is out NOW!

"The song is about driving head on into uncharted and dangerous territory, knowing, and almost rejoicing in the fact that it ultimately will take a toll on you.”

Oberst signs with Indie Recordings

Oberst is proud to announce signing to norwegian Metal Label Indie Recordings, for the release for their upcoming debut album in 2020. Statement below:

“Sometimes you come across bands that immediately grab your attention, and as you dig deeper into it, new layers unfold at a seemingly endless depth. Oberst is one of these bands, and given their musical style that is quite an achievement. I can`t wait for people to discover them and enjoy it as much as I do”. -Erlend Gjerde of Indie Recordings

The band adds: “Working with Indie Recordings with this release is a huge step for us – in the right direction. They have a strong position in the rock/metal scene, and it's hard to not smile when we see our name under already legendary acts in their roster, like Cult of Luna, Kvelertak, Satyricon, Enslaved ++. We are confident that Indie is the label for us to get our songs out there and could not be prouder to announce our debut album with them behind us. We can't wait for you to hear the songs, both on record and live!”
