After rejoining Obscura in 2020, creating A Valediction, and touring in support of it, guitarist Christian Münzner made a decision to part ways with the band once again. You can read his statement down under.

Christian shared the following statement:

"I have been a bit silent on social media, but since I have received so many messages, it is time for an update:

1. First things first, yes it is true, I left Obscura shortly after the last European run. I do not want to get into the nitty gritty of things, I know it is a cliche to say so, but the reason were just creative differences when it came to the next album. I am still super proud of the album that was A Valediction and enjoyed all the tours that followed and it was great to meet so many of you in person. It was a good run, but now the time has come for me to move on.

2. I am very excited to announce that I finished the songwriting for the debut album of my new band/project Void Sector Zero and will be moving on to pre-production shortly. The music will be tech/prog thrash in the tradition of bands like DEATHROW, CORONER, OBLIVEON, WATCHTOWER,TOXIK etc. mixed with some 90s tech death influences (DEATH, CYNIC, ATHEIST, NOCTURNUS, MARTYR...), jazz/fusion elements (ALLAN HOLDSWORTH, TRIBAL TECH) and tons of guitar solos inspired by everyone who was on the Shrapnel label between 1985 and 1999. I will announce the line up once it is finalized.

3. The pre-production for Eternity's End 4 is almost done. Soon I will get in touch with the rest of the guys and we can move on to the final recordings. Expect our fastest and thrashiest album so far.

4. The Retromorphosis album is finished, but because of the label being what labels are today it will most likely be a 2025 release.

5. I have a VERY EXCITING video course coming out at the end of that month, so keep your eyes open. More on that later."
