Rock:  Retro-Modern....Power guitars, power vocals, strong lyrics; songs from sweet to heavy.  If you like REAL vocalists and love lead guitar, look no further than this exceptional, power-packed sound!  Born to Oblivion is the brain child of Terry Lawrence: singer, songwriter, keyboards, sax, flute and several other instruments.  He has played all over the USA with various groups prior to focusing on the creation and development of his own unique retro-modern rock sound.  Born near Detroit, Michigan, his early influences were such rock icons as Led Zeppelin,  Alice n Chains, and Stone Temple Pilots.  He has written the powerful and provocative lyrics and distinctive melodies of the ten songs that comprise this exciting CD.  In 2005, Terry teamed up with his long-time friend and lead guitarist, Jerry Von Friend, to bring his musical ideas to fruition in this intriguing and tantalizing compilation.  Jerry Von Friend is a musical force in his own right and has played with various rock groups including his own band, "Gray By Mourning".  He also gained acclaim with his distinctive style as guitarist with the Monsters of the Morning of Real Radio.  On this CD, Jerry added his technical expertise on guitar, bass and drums to produce and to bring Terry's creative vision to reality.  From this collaboration has emerged a unique, provocative, exciting, sometimes intense--sometimes soothing but always exceptional and stimulating, power-packed retro-modern rock sound unlike any other!!!   Go to:   Band member bios and Photo gallery

Review: Born to Oblivion
earBuzz.com
" Born to Oblivion is the hellish metal child project of
vocalist/lyricist/multi-instrumentalist, Terry Lawrence and multi-instrumentalist
(guitar, drums, bass), Jerry Von Friend. Good to have Friends like that.
Their self-titled 2005 CD is an almost progressive metal collection of
ten tunes that combine an 80's rock sense with an up-to-date production
quality that works.... the music is the highlight here. The record has
many moments that will send your head banging - most notably the
Marshall thick crunch of tight power chords in "Cry Wolf" and "No One". The
opening track, "Get It", is chaotic bliss. The guitars work in several
directions and the arrangement includes gasps of space that tease a
chance to catch a listener's breath before moving into another explosion of
rock mortar. Overall the record is incredibly ambitious with
arrangements that move away from the straight-ahead balls out metal genre -
there's more here - kind of a thinking man's metal based in an intelligent
approach to music and writing."

Wings/Born to Oblivion

This track has a huge sound. Though the listed influences can
definitely be detected, this track has a sound all it's own. One second I felt
like I was listening to a track that I would compare to classic rock,
the next I was certain I was incorrect and was listening to alternative.
I was right both times, and probably with every other inclination I had
in between. It's definitely hard to classify this track because it
almost intentionally defies classification to one genre, I've decided
simply on modern rock with strong melodic vocals and impressively tight
instrumentation and mixing.
Born To Oblivion has captured something special on this track, and
there is most definitely a link to what we now call classic rock. Aside
from sound the link is a feeling passed through the track to the
listeners. Something familiar, but definitely unique. A mystique delivered via
the poetic lyrics. Aside from all of that it's a very catchy track....
