ONAN, started February 2010, is the solo project of Sydney-based artist Kim Forbes. Kim started out playing with bands such as The Luddites, Rainbow Kiss, Amarantha, and most recently, Tortoise Cult. For the time being, ONAN is purely a musical endeavour.

Throughout 2010, ONAN has released 2 albums and an EP, with the last ('III:Metal|Porno|Space|Opera') as a dedication to fans of ONAN. The latest work, "Breaking the Fourth Wall", is set for digital release November 11th, 2011, and features guest spots by Eric Beaudin and Hugo Bonin.

ONAN takes inspiration from such fine acts as Meshuggah, King Crimson, Extol, Evocation, Misery Signals, FellSilent, Steely Dan, while still trying to maintain a unique identity.

ONAN is currently unsigned and self-produced by Kim Forbes.

Thanks Adam, that really means a lot dude; I'm so stoked you've been listening to this!! \m/

Holy........
Great job on the new release brother,
Just when I'm thinking that you've put out most of the best riffs on all your other albums and wondering what is to come on this one. I listen to it on full blast, and it tops them all and blows the rest the fuck away. So good.
I can't wait for more people to hear this.

Thanks, Flo! \m/

thats deep dude!
