4. Old School Death Metal band from Spain. (1989-Present)
OBSCURE was one of the very first Death Metal bands formed in Spain, at around the years 88/89. The band’s core draws from the germ of a previous band, in wich Enri Sanchis (Drums) Boris Ortiz (Guitar) and Rafa Cortés (Guitar) decide to take a different path and start composing new songs. Vicent Riera will join later as a vocalist, to this first line-up.
At that time they take the name OBSCURE and a few months afterwards they record their first demo, “Disgusting Reality” at the end of ’89. This first edition was made of two songs recorded in a studio and three live tracks. In the studio recording process, they ask Anselmo Roca (singer and guitar in AGGRESSOR) for cooperating in the OBSCURE’S live shows for playing the bass, but since AGGRESSOR split up, Anselmo stays as a permanent bass player.
A number of worrying events (Boris left the band temporarily replaced by Lenon, the band’s moving to differents rehearsal rooms and labour circumstances of some members…) take OBSCURE to the final break up.
Vicent Riera decides to quit OBSCURE and starts with his own band NADIR, along with Anselmo Roca on the bass. This happened by the year ’95 and supposed the dissolution of the band.
After 10 years, back in the 2005, David García (Drums) Anselmo Roca (Bass) and Vicent Riera (Singer) take the decision to count on Rafa Cortés in order to bring OBSCURE back. José Ochando joins the band on the guitar and the band starts a very difficult stage. Four different drummers in less than three years (David, Enri, Edgar y Sergio), three rehearsal room changes, José had a serious car accident that put him away for a long time…the adverse circumstances didn’t allow the band to make progress.
Xtreem Music gives to OBSCURE the opportunity to release an album with the unpublished tracks plus a compilation of their three demos, but is not possible to carry out this project due to discrepancies between some members. These members were quitting the band between the years 2009 to 2012 and play in other bands.
In 2016 Rafa Cortés together with Enri Sanchis and Anselmo Roca pick the Xtreem Music’s offering back to collect and release all the OBSCURE’S demos on CD.
Eventually, OBSCURE releases “Back to Skull” in 2016 August, wich collects their three demos: “Non Existendi Cultus” (’92), “Curse the Course” (’90) and “Disgusting Reality” (’89) coming with the best possible sound (unmastered, but enhanced) as well as all demo covers, lyrics and many photos & flyers. Nowadays, the recording of the unpublished songs is still in process.

East coast feel me
West coast feel me
Dirty South, can y'all really feel me
East coast feel me
West coast feel me
Boy, I been watching you like a hawk in the sky
Boy, I promise you if we keep bumpin' heads
I know that one of these days (days)
We goin' hook it up while we talk on the phone
But see, I don't know if that's good
I been holding back this secret from you
I probably shouldn't tell it but
If I, if I let you know
You can't tell nobody
I'm talking bout nobody
Are you responsible
Boy I gotta watch my back
'Cause I'm not just anybody
Is it my goal, is it your goal
Sometimes I'm goody-goody
Right now I'm naughty naughty
Say yes or say no
Cause I really need somebody
Tell me your that somebody
Boy, won't you pick me up at the park right now
Up the block, while everyone sleeps (sleeps, sleeps)
I'll be waiting there with my lugs, my loads, my hat
Just so I'm low key
If you tell the world (don't sleep, you know that we'll be weak)
Oh boy, see I'm trusting you with my heart, my soul
I probably shouldn't let ya but if I
If I, if I let this go
You can't tell nobody
I'm talking bout nobody
Are you responsible
Boy I gotta watch my back
cause im not just anybody
Is it my go, is it your go
Sometimes I'm goody-goody
Right now I'm naughty naughty
Say yes or say no
Cause I really need somebody
Tell me your that somebody
Baby girl
I'm the man from the big VA
Don't you come play round my way
And listen to what I gotta say
Timbaland
Don't you know I am the man
Rock shows here to Japan
Have people shaking-shaking my hand
Baby girl, better known as Aaliyah
Give me hives, corns, and high fevers
Make the playa haters believe us
Don't cha know
Gotta tell somebody
'Cause
'Cause I really need somebody
Tell me you're that somebody
If I, if I let this go
You can't tell nobody

You can't tell nobody, I'm talking about nobody
I hope you're responsible

The lyrics to Aaliyah's hit song - "Are You That Somebody?" are about a secret love affair. Aaliyah is interested in a guy that she has been watching like a hawk in the sky. She's been holding back a secret from him but knows that they will hook up one day. She is torn between wanting to tell him and keeping the secret because she doesn't know if it's good for them to get together. In the chorus, she asks the guy if he is responsible and if he is that somebody she needs, and if he is, she needs him to tell her.
The second verse starts with Aaliyah asking the guy to meet up with her in secret at the park, and she'll be waiting there with her lugs, loads, and hat. She's trusting him with her heart and soul but is aware that it could be risky. In the bridge, Timbaland raps about being the man from Virginia and that Aaliyah has given him high fevers, making the playa haters believe them. The song ends with Aaliyah asking the guy if he is that somebody she needs.

As an artist known as Timbaland, I'm confident and successful, having performed around the world and gained fame. I don't want just anyone to come into my life and distract me from my goals. Baby girl Aaliyah, with whom I collaborated on this song, brings me both positive and negative emotions. Some people may doubt the authenticity of our connection, but we know it's real, and we want to share it with someone.
You can't tell nobody, I'm talking about nobody

I need to reiterate the importance of secrecy and responsibility if I open up to you. I'm not just any random person, so I need to be careful who I trust. My intentions may change, and I can be both innocent and mischievous. Please be honest with me and tell me if you're the person I'm looking for because I'm feeling quite vulnerable and in need of someone special.
