Transcending Obscurity Reveals Label Sampler – FREE

Hello everyone,

We’re ecstatic to reveal the much awaited 2024 Transcending Obscurity Records label sampler. It’s been the most difficult one to prepare, and probably to absorb as a new listener, but it’s also the most rewarding one, in all ways. It also most accurately reflects the taste and direction of the label. I hope you all come to appreciate some of the bands that we’ve lined up for you all this year.

As always, it’s for free download and you can find it on our official Bandcamp page here – https://transcendingobscurity.bandcamp.com

As our label grows older, the music it represents seems to get more and more challenging. Most of the bands on this latest sampler are trying to push the sound in their own way or expand upon their established sound and it’s what makes the most sense. It’s the logical evolution for this form of music and it’s what sounds most stimulating to the relevant pair of jaded ears. There’s still a decent balance of different genres and the emotive value that some of them bring in has been appreciated too. While it cannot possibly cover the scope of the entire roster, it’s the most accurate reflection of the label’s taste still, even if it involves more obscure bands than before. But then again, a label with the name of Transcending Obscurity is probably better equipped to help them rise.

As before, the proceeds from this label sampler go towards the upkeep of the 35+ stray cats and dogs which reside within the Transcending Obscurity premises.
