there are certain communities that know them as superstars, but outside of that community, who has heard sonic death or CIS? i could be wrong though. hey they never sold more than a few hundred thousand copies of anything.
my point being obscure is relative. here i am probably considered someone who listenes to a wide variety of music but not ncessarilly obscure. outside of the internet, with people that i hang out with, im the guy that knows everything about music and listens to weird onscure bands like big black or whatever.
hope my point was at least semi coherent
