OBSCURE SPHINX

Obscure Sphinx is a female-fronted metal band formed in Warsaw, 2008. Their music is situated somewhere near post-metal, but they enrich it with influence of doom metal, post-rock and progressive metal. They merge sonic spaces and electronic samples with the crushing combo of 8-string guitars and 6-string bass rhythmics. All of this is flavoured by a unique voice of the vocalist. Since now they played with bands such as Amon Amarth (se), Coroner (ch), Crippled Black Phoenix (uk), Rosetta (us), City of Ships (us), Talbot (es), My Riot (pol), At The Soundawn (it), Ketha (pol) and many more. Beside that Obscure Sphinx took part in Tides From Nebula (pol) Polish Tour and Blindead's (pol) Affliction Tour 2011.

Debut album called „Anaesthetic Inhalation Ritual” was released on 15th April, 2011 and had a great response from listeners, as well as professional music critics. It was recorded at Sound Division Studio & Progresja Studio and mixed & mastered by Kuba Mańkowski (Blindead, Behemoth) in Sounds Great Promotion Studio in Gdynia.
