For nearly four years, the members of Nobis (formerly Melee) have been scouring the infected ears of northern New England heavy metal fans. These ears, already tainted by the misleading interpretation of what modern day metal is all about, have taken greatly to the cleansing. Drummer, Lee LeVasseur, Guitarist, Josh Torrey, Bassist, Tom Small, and Vocalist, Tim Sereyko combine forces to bring to the masses Maine's most dominant heavy music configuration to date. Levasseur's lightning technique mixed with Smalls' barrage of low end and Torrey's dominating guitar prowess provide Sereyko with an entire spectrum in which to work an array of vocal screams and melodies.

An impressive resume of national acts including Anthrax, Life of Agony, Dog Fashion Disco, RA, Dry Kill Logic etc. compliments an already unmatched live assault of sonic power, leaving any attending a Nobis show walking away with a sense of fulfillment.

Grammy Nominated Producer/Engineer, Joshua Wilbur, once again has teamed up with Nobis, this time for their first full-length effort, A Blurred Sense of Divine, due to hit the public in the summer of 2004 through Xact Records / OSK Productions.

All it takes is one song for a listener to realize that Nobis is here to let their brand burn deep into the skin of the heavy music industry. Sit still, the pain is only temporary, the sound is forever.
