Welcome to Obscure Music

Linked Communities

This is a community dedicated to sharing lesser-known music. Please try to submit and share lesser known music. I reserve the right to remove any music I feel is not obscure enough. Please don't take it personally if I do. It's just some people are sometimes not aware that a band or a project is bigger than they think.

Please try to format roughly like this:

Artist Name - Song Title [Genre] [Year]

Obscurity Guidelines:

Any artist with more than one song with over 2 million listens or views on Spotify or Youtube is not considered obscure.
Any sideproject of a popular band or musician or celebrity.
Covers and Remixes of popular songs that violate rule (1) on their own. Covers of popular songs tend to attract more attention than the band might.

Please do not post any artist more than once a week.

One of the last Cynic albums, from 2014. Combination of ethereal and metal, more pronounced here than in previous albums

I remember finding them about the same time as Porcupine Tree, never would have thought they where obscure.

They’re legendary in certain circles. But you’re right, they have FAR more listeners on Spotify than I would have imagined. (42k!)

I’ll make sure to avoid the bigger bands in the future. Thanks.

The bassline on The Lion's Roar is absolutely insane

That should be Sean Malone, and yeah, he was amazing on there. Also loved him on the Gordian Knot albums
