Project started by Steve Jacobson, former member and co-founder of the NorCal Death Metal Band FORSAKE THE FLESH. Steve moved to Erie, PA in 2007....which gave him the opportunity to start work on his own project that has been brewing for years. REQUIEM FOR OBLIVION is an atmospheric, 'hybrid metal' concept project/CD based on his years struggling with inner demons (i.e. drugs, booze, depression, self-destruction in almost every form) and the years since silencing those demons... Helping him with the recording process and the first to join the "live" version of RFO is drummer Mike Bryan, who ironically, moved to Erie from Reno, NV just a month prior to Steve moving there. Through a twist of fate they were put together and so far a 6 song demo is available now, the two song Godbuilder EP, and a full length to be (hopefully) released by late 13. Also, periodically, Steve releases an old RFO song every few months...the most recent was 'The Hallowed' that can be found at our Reverbnation and Soundcloud sites. A series of local guest musicians have been assembled to help with live performances over the last couple years. Steve and Mike have handled all the writing and recording duties since the band's conception.Together, the band
