OUROBOROS (pronounced OR-oh-BOR-us) is composed of five musicians from Sydney, Australia. This quintet fuses elements of death, thrash, melodic and progressive metal. By doing so their aim is to challenge their audience and push the boundaries of their genre. In 2007 OUROBOROS self released and distributed a (now sold out) four track EP titled "A Path to Extinction". This release was quickly followed by 2 music videos which have been aired extensively on national television in Australia. Since its release, the four track EP and accompanying videos have been instrumental in promoting the band's music to metal audiences worldwide. OUROBOROS has been playing live since mid 2007 and have attracted a loyal fan base that vehemently supports them on and off the stage. Not long after their first show an independently established fan club & street team who dubbed themselves "The Cookie Army" formed, further boosting the band's network of supporters. More recently the band has secured support slots on Cannibal Corpse's 2009 Australian tour, Psycroptic's "ObServant" Australian tour and the Australian Summer Slaughter Tour alongside Necrophagist, Dying Fetus, Aborted and The Faceless. In 2009 OUROBOROS was nominated for 5 awards in the first ever AUSTRALIAN METAL AWARDS. Against some staggering competition, OUROBOROS managed to take home 3 of these including Best Bassist, Best Drummer and Best Unsigned Band. The band is currently working on their debut full length to be released in 2010.
