DR. OBLITERANE IS THE ANAGRAM OF OUR NAMES

Two opposite people, one endless love for extreme music, and the story of how DR. OBLITERANE actually got its name.

We didn't pick the name

Google did.

We threw both our names in a box, Robert and Daniel, and asked for anagrams of them combined. DR. OBLITERANE is what fit best. DR for our initials too. We kept it.

Slipknot on day one

First day of high school, talking about Slipknot. That's how the two of us met.

Two totally different people. Two opposite personalities. One loud and a bit crazy, one quiet and nerdy. The yin and the yang.

So one of us works the crowd and the decks, the other lives in the admin and the techical side of production. The creativity stays one single soul, combining ideas, inspiration and daily emotions.

One thing in common from the start. Endless love for music, the extreme kind. Metalcore first.

From Mind Mayhem to now

Before this there was Mind Mayhem & Trebor Trouble. The EDM alias that started it all.

Then came the endless trips to NL, festival after festival, hardstyle taking over.

Now Mind Mayhem & Trebor Trouble are DR. OBLITERANE. Grown, hungry like never before. Come stand in the crowd and we'll do the rest.
