Cobweb Strange released the self-produced Thoughts Under Glass EP in 1995. The release along with the band's live performances generated interest from several independent record labels leading to a relationship with the record company CPR. In 1996, CPR released the band's debut LP, The Temptation of Successive Hours which received little commercial radio airplay in the United States; however, the song Astral Projection from the album did well on the radio in Europe.[1] Despite lack of commercial radio support in the United States, college radio play and favorable articles in progressive rock magazines allowed the band to have success on tour. The band then moved to Genterine Records for their second album, Sounds from the Gathering (1998),[2] which was met with similar favor and led to the band's first television performance on the show DoVidOx as well as several performances at summer festivals including the Rock-a-thon 2000 festival in New Orleans, Louisiana.
It was the third release from Cobweb Strange, A Breath of October (2002), that saw the band reach its full potential. The single "Currents of Nightshade" received radio play on both progressive rock and goth radio programs. The video for the song appeared on the Ghost Notes (2004) compilation, which was included with each copy of the Summer 2004 issue of Progression Magazine, the leading magazine for the genre. The song also appeared on the soundtrack for the film She Demons of the Black Sun (2006). In addition to being an important year for the band for the release of A Breath of October, 2002 was also the first year that the band performed at The Rogue Independent Music Festival. They were the only band to perform at the festival every year.[3]
