The story begins in 1993 with the departure of Ars Abyssus (Marcelo Andrade) from the Brazilian Death Metal band "Cérberos", which was founded by Ars Abyssus (Marcelo Andrade), Seletus (André) and Gregório.
After the departure of "Ars Abyssus" (Marcelo Andrade) from the band "Cérberos", he founded the band "Oráculo" together with his cousin and brother "Almar" in the same year of 1993.
Then two other friends join the band "Oráculo", "Dionísios" to play bass and "Imoral Verb" on vocals.
In parallel to all these events, there was the Brazilian Black Doom Metal band called "Dark Empire", which was founded by "Apud mortis" (from the "Death Altar" band) and "Spectrus" (From the "Death Altar" band) and they already had the support of Ars Abyssus ("Oráculo" founder and ex - former "Cérberus" ) and Selestus (One of the founders of "Cérberus"). And in mid-1994 the two bands decided to unite and form the most complete "Oraculo" band.
However, Dionísios and Imoral Verb follow a different path and left the band "Oráculo". But always and to this day they are dear friends and brothers. Forever!!!
In the same year 1994, the band "Oráculo" entered the studio with its own resources and recorded the songs on the album "Astral Door Ways" at "Tomaselli Studios" Studio at Manaus City, Amazonas State. together with an experienced local jazz and blues producer, called Renato Alvez.
In the same year 1994, The band "Oráculo" formalizes a contract with the label and distributor SOUND RIOTS PRODUCTIONS to release the album "Oráculo - Astral Door Ways" in cassette format.
Note:
In mid-1996, the band "Oráculo" made an attempt to join with the friend and founder of the Brazilian band of Necro Doom called "Asaradel" our esteemed and dear friend called "Getúlio". We would go to re-release the album of the band "Oráculo - Astral Door Ways" and we would change the name of the band "Oráculo" to "O Oráculo de Asaradel", symbolizing the union of the two bands.
But, for personal reasons of our friend called Getúlio, he had to return to his native land and there he continued his band "Asaradel".
So the band "Oráculo" did not release the album "Astral Door Ways" with the name "O Oracle de Asaradel".
when our friend called "Getúlio" (Founder of "Asaradel" band) arrived in our city, Manaus, in the Brazilian state of Amazonas, the band "Oráculo" had already recorded the album "Astral Door Ways".
Our friend, named Getúlio, did not participate in the recordings of the album "Astral Door Ways".
He is still nowsdays a great and esteemed friend / brother of all of us.
Between 1996 and 1997 the distributor and label "Sound Riot Poductions" made the official launch of the album "Astral Door Ways" of the Brazilian band "Oráculo" in cassette format and with the official cover with the layout created by the band "Oráculo".
In 1996, there was a dramatic event with one of our great and dear friends, which motivated us to end our activities with the band "Cérberus" and the band "Oráculo". Then, together, the members of the bands "Cérberos" and "Oráculo" we founded the Brazilian Black / Doom Metal band called "Umba Obscennum" to continue the work of the two bands together.
But, only in 2012, the band "Umbra Obscennum" that made a single official record, called "A NEW POWER IS RISING" in CD format independently and limited to 100 copies.
