“What a roller-coaster ride we have been on this year in Oblivion Myth!” stated founder and guitarist Keith Smith. “We were on track to do more this year than any in OM’s history when drummer Patrick Nickell announced his departure this September to focus on his master’s degree. I think that actually led to the three of us taking a deeper look and re-examining who we are and where we are going. We had been aware of changes going on with Chris, some of which really didn’t line up with the vision and direction of Oblivion Myth and so a decision was made to release him to pursue the direction he wanted to go in”.

“I knew it was coming”, stated guitarist Chris Selby, who had parted ways with the band back in July of 2009, only to rejoin the lineup six months later. This time will be different, as Selby has stated, “I am not coming back this time” and indicated that he would be going in a different direction, which didn’t seem to take long, as indicated by a post dated Thursday, November 17 on Sintonik’s Facebook page, welcoming Selby to their lineup.

“I’ve been aware of Sintonik through my work with Nashville Metal Bands and have spoken with a promoter in their camp as recently as September of this year, making arrangements for NMB to help get the word out for them. They are a great band and I think Chris will be a tremendous addition to their lineup!” stated OM vocalist and founder of Nashville Metal Bands, Ray LeGrand.

Also wasting no time, Oblivion Myth are actively working to fill the vacancy left by Selby. “Onward and upward is what I always say!” remarked Smith, continuing with, “Nothing ever stops this band. We’re like a machine that just keeps moving forward”.

For the remainder of the year, Smith and LeGrand are continuing with auditions and working to complete the EP that was recorded this fall at “We Never Sleep Productions”, which is slated for release in early 2012. The EP, tentatively titled, “Legacy” will include the “War Child” single, which was the first from this project to hit radio waves in June 2011 and received near instant international acclaim with strong responses from the bands long established fan base in Greece as well as new found interest in Indonesia.
