Obscura - To Enter Studio In April, Launch Digital Tab Book
Progressive death metal masters Obscura have announced that they will enter Dreamsound Studios this April to begin recording drums for their anticipated new album and first full-length in over four years. The band will work once again with long time producer V. Santura (Cosmogenesis, Omnivium). The album will see a late 2015 release via Relapse Records and will be the first to feature new members drummer Sebastian Lanser and guitarist Tom "Fountainhead" Geldschläger.
Guitarist/vocalist Steffen Kummerer commented on the upcoming material: "We are all pleased with the new material which pairs the songwriting, technicality and arrangements of our previous albums with the creative input of members Linus Klausenitzer, Tom 'Fountainhead' Geldschläger and Sebastian Lanser, while keeping our trademark prog riffing across the fusion and death metal landscape that makes Obscura sound unique. This album sees Obscura move a step further."
While the band prepares the upcoming recordings, a digital tablature book of their critically acclaimed record Omnivium is available for pay-what-you-want download at the band's website. The book contains 368 pages in total, including tabs for all lead and rhythm guitars, transcribed live versions of each solo and arrangements for two guitars plus liner notes for each song. It can be purchased directly here. Note: The first printed edition contained mistakes. If you own one of the mentioned books, please get in touch through shop@realmofobscura.com and recieve a reprint with correct notation at no charge.

Written by Hex_Omega on 20.02.2015 at 21:03 Mostly because of the reasons for those line-up changes.

Well, I am looking forward to whatever Obscura are going to bring to the table, and new line-up is not necessarily a bad thing: we can't really know what will come out of it. I have to say though that my biggest problem with Omnivium was Grossmann's soulless robotic drumming, so I am hoping for an improvement in that respect. I think we can expect a change in songwriting because Muenzer and Grossmann contributed to most songs (what I can see in the booklets). Let's see how it turns out. Fingers crossed

Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 21.02.2015 at 15:15 Oh, that's true. Thesseling is gone too. Wow, have a completely new Obscura. As far as the new bassist, I remember the rest of the band saying Noneuclid is pretty intense and complex, so I guess he's got the chops. Never got to listen to that band though...

Omnivium actually had some feel to it unlike so many tech-death albums, it would be great for them to reach that kinda level again, but at this point it's almost an entirely new band
