Québec Death / Grind outfit OBSCENE CRISIS, notably including twin guitarists Stéphane Côté and Jean-Pierre Côté, was assembled during 1992. Stéphane Côté was an original founder of KATAKLYSM. A six song demo, 'Modern Hypocrisy', was recorded in 1994. Former bassist Yan Thiel forged NEURAXIS that same year. Thiel also held association with ADENINE and TORN WITHIN. Another formative member, drummer Martin Auger, holding ELEMENTS credentials, also split away to join Thiel in NEURAXIS.

OBSCENE CRISIS followed with a self-funded album 'Silence Of The Mind', produced by OBLIVEON guitarist Pierre Rémillard, recorded by singer Eric Fiset, the Côté siblings, bassist Chrystian Boyer with Stephane Chartrand on drums. The band replaced Boyer with Martin Riendeau but folded in 1997. The band was re-structured during 2003, adding EMPATHY DENIED, DYING DAWN and ENRAGED drummer Yan Chamberland, but collapsed without having issued further product.

During 2004 Eric Fiset and Yan Chamberland, working with NEURAXIS guitarist Steven Henry and DYING DAWN bassist Daniel Daris, forged EMPATHY DENIED.
