History & Biography
A techno-death band from French Canada, the band was founded in 2019 and released a demo called The Beginning in 2021. The band's monicker stands for 'Obvert' and 'Hurt.' The shifting line-up was already in full swing and folks would come, have a lick of the shop's ice cream and would leave. Brutal Mind distributed the EP. Nitro's Michael Angelo Batio was on guest guitar on the song Obverted and appeared in its video as well. For the full-length, the band switched to Unique Leader however.

Canada-based Obvurt had an album called An Alternate Dimension through Brutal Mind in 2025. The song Hold On To Hope was inspired by guitarist Jason Becker, who had lived with Lou Gehrig's disease for more than thirty years. There was also a video for the song Hold On To Hope. Hath travelled to Canada for a gig with Homicide, Obvurt, Deity and Experiment Specimen in the summer of 2025.

Philippe Drouin relearned the guitar left-handed after a car accident rendered his right hand useless for picking in December of 2016. The accident meant that Drouin was not able to play the guitar. He turned to Michael Angelo Bato of Nitroi to tutor him. Drummer Charléli Arsenault, who was in the band briefly later, also came from the band Unbreakable Hatred.
