Obscura - Three Members Quit The Band
German tech/progressive death metal purveyors Obscura announce guitarist Rafael Trujillo, bassist Linus Klausenitzer and drummer Sebastian Lanser parting ways with the band due to musical differences and move on with their new group, named Obsidious. All of them would like to thank Steffen Kummerer, crew, business partners and especially all loyal fans all over the world.
Steffen Kummerer: "Firstly, I would like to thank our former members Rafael Trujillo, Linus Klausenitzer and Sebastian Lanser for their dedication during the last years. Now, 2020, a new chapter for Obscura begins with entering Woodshed Studios this Summer to produce our sixth full-length record, and the first album for our new label Nuclear Blast. The new lineup will be revealed shortly."
Rafael Trujillo comments: "I'm really thankful for the amazing experiences I have made over the last couple of years and all people who have supported me on that path. Leaving something behind opens new opportunities."
Linus Klausenitzer states: "No one except Steffen has been in the band longer than I have, so you can imagine that this was not an easy decision for me. However, for us, this is the beginning of a musical journey that I'm sure you will enjoy."
Sebastian Lanser adds: "Time has come for me to move on and pursue new musical adventures. A big "Thank You" to all our fans around the world for the amazing support - You Rock! I am sure we will meet again at some point in the future."

This is crazy. Literally nobody can stay in this band with Steffen for more than 9 years...

Is this a belated April fools? Moving from Obscura to Obsidious? Seriously? That said it's not like it's a new thing for the band to happen... Klausenitzer played with a bunch of former members in other projects as well. I don't think anyone has real beef with Kummerer, cause they always talk nicely about him as far as I've seen.

If I remember correctly, Tom Geldschläger left the band on the same differences these 3 main members may have quit -- Kummerer really hold them musically. Perhaps why he ended up destroying 2 bands in 10 yrs.

Written by Traezeus on 22.04.2020 at 21:57 Oh I don't doubt that he's the problem, just that it's a serious problem, not just some disagreements. And no I didn't hear about that.

Obscura is almost as much a solo project for Steffan as it is for Michael's Opeth and was for Chuck's Death. I don't see this as a big problem unless he completely veers the sound away from their core.

Written by Traezeus on 24.04.2020 at 20:31 I did and it's kind of ambiguous to me (a lot of dead links to "proof" too), but yeah it definitely seems like Kummerer is pretty full of himself. No news there though I guess.
