The sonic voyage continues with "Frontier of Darkness," the second album from Jovian Oblivion. This time around, the music is more polished and sophisticated but still retains the raw, rocking energy and dynamic diversity for which Jovian Oblivion is known. Production on âFrontier of Darknessâ started one month after the completion of the 1st Jovian Oblivion album, âEye of the Mindâ in July of 2005. Unlike the first album, which was Brent Matney exclusively performing all instruments and vocals⦠âFrontier of Darknessâ features contributions of several different musicians on 5 of the 15 tracks. All of these songs were created pure and free in the sanctuary of Brent Matneyâs project recording studio⦠far, far away from the evil influences of money, fakeness and greed.

âFrontier of Darknessâ is a diverse collection of songs ranging from moody, sinister instrumentals to ranting, poetic melodies of angst and torment. Some of the songs strike out with melodic belligerence such as âBanish Meâ âDo Not Rebelâ & âFrailty.â Other tracks, like âCallisto Awaitsâ âThe Mask Behind the Faceâ âSpacinââ & âSomnium (On Luna)â establish a spooky dream-like ambiance throughout. And of course, no Jovian Oblivion album would be complete without the political rhetoric included in the songs, âCalm Before the Stormâ âEvil Manâ & âHow Many More Wars?â âBlue Dotâ is a foray into the hot topic of the environment, foreshadowing an eventual apocalypse despite frantic warnings from groups who are attempting to save the Earth and itâs eco-system. âWindow Paneâ tells a bleak story of an unfortunate person who is suffering from extreme paranoia and slowly going insane, while the progressive rock-natured, âBreathâs Width,â expresses suicidal thoughts after a bad ending to a long romantic relationship. âEgo Enabledâ features some heavy blues-riffing and raucous vocals in an odd 5/4 time signature. If you are looking for the same-old, predictable, formulaic, monotonous, mainstream rock music that is prevalent on today's modern rock stations and MTV, then look elsewhere. But, if you want to hear fresh, innovative, 21st Century rock'n'roll as it should be... then look no further than Jovian Oblivion.

Some of the guest musicians on âFrontier of Darknessâ include Joe Berkley, drummer of the The Sky Remembers and Dave Delida bassist of The Sky Remembers. Joe wrote the lyrics for âBreathâs Widthâ while Dave played bass on âFrailtyâ and âHow Many More Wars?â The Sky Remembers currently has a CD for sale here on CDBABY. Jean Roca provided the guitar tracks for âEvil Manâ and Jesse Baer furnished the background music for the psychedelic instrumental, âSpacinâ.â Jean Roca also has a CD for sale here on CDBABY.
