The Obsidian Resurrection plunges listeners into a haunting, apocalyptic soundscape with Edge of Sanity, a harrowing descent into a world consumed by death and despair. The lyrics paint a stark picture of an earth swallowed by darkness, where the remnants of innocence are scattered like broken fragments of a lost past.
From the mournful cries of a dying sun to the creeping embrace of shadows, the song captures the final moments of a world on the brink of annihilation. The vivid imagery of “limb after limb, the lands tainted by the remains of the innocent” and “a human jigsaw puzzle” evokes a grotesque yet poetic portrayal of destruction, mirroring the fragile line between reality and madness.
As the protagonist wanders through the wasteland, searching for salvation in a graveyard of the fallen, Edge of Sanity asks a chilling question: is this the end of the world, or merely a descent into personal insanity? With its bleak yet powerful lyricism, the song stands as an anthem for those who dare to stare into the abyss—and find it staring back.

Biography
Formed in 2000 in Modesto, California, Obsidian originally featured Deimitri Reyes (SIX MILLION DEAD) on vocals/guitar, Danny Stevenson (ex-IMPERIUM, ex-LUNAR) on synths, Josh Jones (ex-NORDIC FROST, ex-ZOMBIE DEATH STENCH) on bass, Mike Maxwell (ex-DESCEND) on lead guitar, and Justin Driskill on vocals. After lineup changes, Deimitri took over as lead vocalist, and Alex Bosson (LUNAR, HELION PRIME, PLANESWALKER) joined on drums. In 2003, they self-released the Enslaved By Nightmares EP, followed by the addition of guitarist Nate Amundsen (ex-IMPERIUM, ex-MOMENT OF LOSS) in 2004.
Despite a strong run across California and Arizona, life pulled the band apart in 2005—leaving behind an unfinished full-length album. Now, nearly two decades later, the original lineup (minus Nate, who has since departed) has reunited under a new banner: The Obsidian Resurrection.
Their long-awaited debut album, As Darkness Falls, resurrects and reimagines their 2003 demo while introducing brand-new material that bridges their past and present. With crushing riffs, blistering energy, and a relentless sonic assault, tracks like “Prophecy’s Will” and “As Darkness Falls” mark a triumphant return to the scene.
