Obscura

[eppst1]

I was wondering if anyone has heard of these guys. They are a progressive death metal band from Germany and I just found them flipping through on-demand music. I will definitely be purchasing their new one.

Let me know what you think.

Yeah its good technical death metal. Pretty damn chaotic, not easy to listen to, but good.

 

[Kaosaur]

Yeah the new Obscura is fuckin' awesome.

I love Obscura! I saw em live a couple months ago. They are a great band if you're into that sort of thing! They have 2 former Necrophagist members, so if you like the Anata/Necrophagist thing, check em' out!

 

[Palabra de Dios]

Much better tech-death than most of the shit from America. They're the band The Faceless wishes they were. Although I'm not too keen on Relapse as a label, despite them having a select few AWESEOME bands.

Haha dude I tooootally disagree. I think Obscura is one of the weaker bands on Relapse's awesome roster. One of the most forward-thinking A&R departments in metal right now imo.

The new Augury album is the best tech death album out this year imho. Although the new Obscura album is solid.

Wow - the Obscura disc is blowing me away!

 

[Foretich]

Obscura is freaking awesome. WAYYYY better than Necrophagist IMO. I saw them with Atheist! They are very solid live.

OBSCURA PREMIERE "TEN SEPIROTH” MUSIC VIDEO

"...German tech-death force Obscura have released a music video for "Ten Sepiroth”, a track from the band's recent full-length Akroasis. Watch below..."

So when I listen to this song, I hear fretless bass - but from the video - he isn't playing one. Now I understand it's a video, but can you get that "sound" from a regular bass?

OBSCURA PREMIERE NEW BASS PLAYTHROUGH VIDEO FOR “AKROASIS”

"...German technical/progressive death metal luminaries, Obscura, have just shared a new playthrough video, which features fretless bass virtuoso Linus Klausenitzer shredding his way through the title-track of the band's latest release, Akroasis. Watch below.

"When I thought to record another playthrough video, I decided for the title track of our new album Akroasis," said Linus Klausenitzer. "As it is a very atmospheric song, the bass lines are probably the easiest one to play on the whole album. This way I hope to motivate people to try playing the song themselves and to pay more attention to phrasing on bass. In this video I play my fretless Ibanez BZB7 that people ask me about very often. I recorded 90% of the album with this bass."

 

[eppst1]

Interesting. That doesn't look like a fretless, but sure sounds like one. haha Maybe the "frets" aren't really there?

Man, the new disc is so awesome.
