German pagan black metal representatives Obscurity have announced that their ninth full length effort will be entitled Skogarmaors and will be set free on the 27th of August via Trollzorn Records. Additional details plus teaser available below.




Comments the band: ''With Skogarmaors Obscurity forge their ninth studio album. At the first glance one might think there is nothing new in Obscurity, but with Skogarmaors there are several new elements within the band. But ingrained fans do not have to fear fundamental changes in style although there are new musical influences due to the line-up change. The 13 new songs on the upcoming album will benefit from those influences. Obscurity will stay a bastion in continuity and they only create music they do stand for.

Statement from the label: ''Since the last full-length, the highly acclaimed Streitmacht (2017), the band'sline-up has changed and with guitarist Askar and drummer Isarn the quintet from the Bergisch Land welcomes two new brothers in their ranks. Both have influenced the album significantly with new elements, but ingrained fans do not have to fear fundamental changes in style.

"The 13 new songs just benefit from those new influences and Obscurity stand strong as a bastion in continuity and passion. Stylistically they still go with their own blend of Death, Viking and Black Metal, just the album's bonus track is an experiment which differs slightly from the rest of the material. The lyrics are diverse and reach from Nordic mythology to contemporary social subjects.''
