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Xtreem Music gives to OBSCURE the opportunity to release an album with the unpublished tracks plus a compilation of their three demos, but is not possible to carry out this project due to discrepancies between some members.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.

Obscure Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
And sooner or later it's over
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
The lyrics to Obscure's song Iris are full of raw emotion and a deep longing to be understood and connected to another person. The first verse speaks of the desire to touch someone and feel a connection with them that transcends words. The singer feels the closest to heaven they will ever be when they are with this person, and they don't want to leave their side.
The second verse continues to highlight the intensity of the singer's feelings, as they describe the moment as all they can taste and breathe. They know that life is fleeting and that this moment with this person will eventually come to an end. They don't want to miss a single moment with them, even if that means fighting back tears or confronting difficult truths.
The chorus repeats the idea that the singer doesn't want the world to see them or for others to judge or misunderstand their deep emotions. They recognize that everything in life is meant to be broken, but they still long for this person to see them for who they truly are. The repetition of "I just want you to know who I am" emphasizes how important it is for the singer to be seen and understood by the person they are singing to.
Overall, the lyrics to Iris are about the power of connection and the desire for someone to truly see and understand us. It's a deeply emotional song that speaks to anyone who has ever felt misunderstood or unheard.
Line by Line Meaning
And I'd give up forever to touch you
I am willing to give up everything I have just to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
I believe that you sense my presence in some way
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
Being with you is the closest thing to being in heaven that I have ever experienced
And I don't want to go home right now
I don't want to leave your side and go back to my mundane life
And all I can taste is this moment
The only thing I am focused on is the present moment
And all I can breathe is your life
You are the air that I need to survive
And sooner or later it's over
Nothing lasts forever and this moment will come to an end
I just don't wanna miss you tonight
I don't want to miss a single moment with you tonight
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
There are tears that will inevitably fall and cannot be stopped
Or the moment of truth in your lies
Even if you are lying, there is a moment when the truth will be revealed
When everything feels like the movies
This moment feels too perfect and surreal, like it's out of a movie
Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive
Sometimes pain is necessary to feel alive and to know that we are human
And I don't want the world to see me
I don't want others to see the vulnerable, intimate side of me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
I believe that others wouldn't comprehend the depth of our connection
When everything's meant to be broken
In a world where things inevitably fall apart, our connection is something precious and delicate
I just want you to know who I am
I want to show you my true self and be fully known by you
I just want you to know who I am
I want you to see and accept me for who I really am
I just want you to know who I am
I want to be vulnerable and open with you, so that you can know the real me
