Jovian Oblivion is a music project created by solo artist Brent Matney, from southwestern Virginia. Jovian Oblivion's first album "Eye of the Mind," is a sonic voyage delving into musical realms and lyrical topics that are seldom explored. Jovian Oblivion can be categorized as modern rock with industrial and electronic elements featuring bizarre guitar tunings, electronic drums/percussion, thick choir-like vocal harmonies and spaced-out synthesizer, bass and guitar sounds with blistering metaphoric lyrics covering a wide range of topics.

There are no boundaries or rules in Jovian Oblivion's music.... it doesn't follow any set pattern or conform to the sounds, styles and formats of the current or past status quo in rock music. Jovian Oblivion doesn't care about industry standards, current trends or the "flavor of the month." Jovian Oblivion is not shackled by the contraints, limitations and pressures of any corporate, money-hungry entity. The music is pure and free, while every song has a style and personality all of it's own.

Brent wanted to implement his own unique musical vision pulling from the influence of artists and bands from many genres including rock, industrial, jazz, electronica, funk, new age, metal and blues. The songs on "Eye of the Mind" are bold, diverse, sometimes eclectic and occasionally improvised. "Eye of the Mind" covers a wide variety of lyrical topics including politics, imagination, seclusion, betrayal, paranoia, hypocrisy, utopia, dissention, frustration, deception, internet pornography, apocalypse, regret, blame, cynicism and hope.
