In 1993 Nigel Brewer co-founded the Hard-alternative band Nemesis with drummer Andre Love, who had been been a member of Remission and Split Decision. Nemesis' most significant accomplishment was having an origional song titled "Some Friend" picked from over 500 local bands to be part of Baltimore radio station 98 Rock's (wiYY 97.9FM) Noise in the Basement compilation CD.

The Arise From Oblivion project began in the spring of 2005 when Nigel Brewer began writing new composistions that seemed far better suited for traditional vocal led hard rock/metal songs than the guitar driven instrumental music that he had previously focused on. After spending a few monthes writing new material and demoing the songs in his home studio, Nigel once again teamed with drummer Andre Love whom he played with in Nemesis years before,(Love is currently the percussionist for One Slack Mind as well as his own project Soulcraft) and began the new project in june 2005.
