Acta Infernalis:
“Confined To Oblivion has everything to be serious. Resumption is only their first album, but it showcases every element of a mature band, which knows to melt its influences to create a vortex of heady intensity.”
Games, Brrraaains & A Headbanging-Life:
“Heavy as fuck, catchy when it shouldn’t be, immense instrumentation and tons of energy, this is a very fine melodic death metal release.”

Confined To Oblivion:
“For this song, we wanted to emphasize the catchy melody of the original by Les Cowboys Fringants. Starting with a tribute to the song, taking liberties by adding a modern breakdown, and concluding with an epic build-up. We tried to bring an epic and heavy version of a classic Quebec song. The same singalong choruses but we added a renewed energy that’s perfect for a metal Saint Jean Baptiste party.”
Originating in Montreal, Canada, Confined to Oblivion emerged onto the music scene in early 2015, drawing inspiration from Melodic Death Metal and Extreme Metal genres.
Following the release of their debut EP, ‘The Cycle’, in 2016, the band returned to the studio in 2018 to craft their second EP, titled ‘When Did We Stop Listening?”.
Confined to Oblivion actively toured and performed at numerous shows across Canada, sharing stages with notable bands such as Unearth, Darkest Hour, The Agonist, and Beyond Creation.
The addition of their new vocalist, Jean-Charles Carrere, marked a shift towards a darker musical trajectory for the band.
This transition involved the incorporation of more intricate compositions, along with the introduction of black, death, and progressive elements.
The culmination of this evolution is evident in their latest album, ‘Resumption’ (2021), a product of two years of meaningful collaboration.
The album, mixed and mastered by Henrik Udd (known for his work with Architects, Bring Me The Horizon, At The Gates), showcases the band’s commitment to pushing musical boundaries and exploring new dimensions in their sound.
