FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Quebec City, Canada — Canadian death metal innovators Obvurt return with their crushing new single “Patience,” out now via Brutal Mind . Known for their boundary-pushing approach to technical death metal, Obvurt continue to redefine the genre with fresh ideas, fearless experimentation, and deeply personal songwriting.
Following the acclaim of their 2022 debut full-length Triumph Beyond Adversity ( Unique Leader Records ), and their 2025 sophomore effort An Alternate Dimension ( Brutal Mind ), the band shows no signs of slowing down. “Patience” stands as a bold example of frontman Philippe Drouin’s commitment to innovation—marking the first song he ever composed on his now-signature double-guitar .
“The writing process changed everything for me,” Drouin explains. “The double-guitar opened a whole new dimension of sound. No chugs, no tremolos—only hammer-ons and pull-offs. It forced me to rethink what brutal riffs could be.”
Obvurt have built their reputation not only on their ferocious musicianship but also on their spirit of resilience. After releasing their debut EP The Beginning in 2021, the band made headlines for performing an unorthodox set in front of an elementary school class where Drouin once worked as a teacher. Since then, they’ve endured lineup changes and challenges, but emerged stronger than ever with their current lineup:
Philippe Drouin - Guitars
Enzo Roussel - Bass
Michel Gagné Bouchard (Mitch) - Drummer
Drawing inspiration from icons like Decapitated, Suffocation, and Dying Fetus , Obvurt continue to carve their own identity in the death metal underground. Drouin’s personal journey—relearning guitar left-handed after injury, and adapting his technique to the radical double-guitar—is woven directly into the DNA of “Patience.”
The song embodies both struggle and endurance, channeling the very perseverance that defines Obvurt’s path. Fans got an early taste of this spirit with the recent single “Hold On To Hope,” inspired by Jason Becker’s resilience in the face of ALS. “Patience” takes that same ethos of survival and determination and pushes it into heavier, more brutal terrain.
With “Patience” and An Alternate Dimension , Obvurt prove that death metal can be more than brutality for brutality’s sake—it can be a canvas for meaning, innovation, and unbreakable will.
Listen to “Patience” now via Brutal Mind and prepare to experience Obvurt in an entirely new dimension.
For fans of: Decapitated, Suffocation, Dying Fetus
