At the Edge of the Ritual

With Oblivion (Live), 5th PROJEKT opens a door rather than dropping a track. This live rendition feels less like a performance and more like a carefully staged ceremony, where mood takes precedence over momentum and patience is rewarded. From the very first moments, the song unfolds slowly, drawing the listener into a dim, pulsing atmosphere that feels intimate and unguarded, as if the walls of the room are quietly breathing in sync with the music.

What stands out most is the sense of space. The live, off-the-floor approach gives Oblivion a raw presence, allowing each element to linger and echo rather than rush forward. The rhythm settles into a deep, hypnotic groove, steady and grounding, while layers of guitar textures drift above it like distant signals. There’s a beautiful tension here—restraint meeting intensity—that keeps the track suspended in a state of emotional anticipation.

Vocally, the performance feels almost incantatory, floating through the arrangement with a calm confidence that anchors the song’s darker edges. Nothing feels overworked or overstated; instead, the power lies in repetition, atmosphere, and gradual immersion. This version of Oblivion doesn’t aim to overwhelm—it invites, waits, and then quietly pulls you in.

As the opening statement from the upcoming Live In London EP, Oblivion (Live) sets a clear tone: immersive, moody, and deeply intentional. It’s the kind of track that lingers long after it ends, leaving you slightly disoriented, reflective, and eager to step further into the world 5th PROJEKT is building.
