German technical death metal band Obscura has unveiled another new track entitled "Evenfall" from their forthcoming seventh studio album, A Sonication, which will be released on February 7th via Nuclear Blast Records.

The band continues their collaboration with director Mirko Witzki, known for his work with Arch Enemy and Powerwolf, for the music video accompanying the track.




Frontman Steffen Kummerer shared the following: "With "Evenfall" we look into the most anticipated song by the band to perform in a live setting on our upcoming tours. The dynamics, groove and pace falls perfectly into place. One of my personal highlights of the new album, showcasing a rather cinematic sound scape within the Obscura universe."

Obscura is set to kick off their European tour in February featuring Skeletal Remains and Gorod.

From Alex Weber:

"I was REALLY hoping it wouldn’t come to this… I’m not one to create drama and stir the pot unnecessarily but I’m sad to hear that the new Obscura tune contains melodies that I wrote and melodies that I did not give Steffen permission to use. Before we all left the band we got written confirmation that the material we contributed to the record would not be used but this video shows clearly that my melody was used note for note.

It would have been one thing if I was credited for this or had given him written permission to use it, but that was not the case. It’s not about money or even being that attached to the melody, it’s a matter of principle and intellectual property theft.

I know because of deadlines, that Steffen was in a tough position when we all left the band but now i’m concerned that more of the music that Chris and I wrote for this album will still be used without our consent.

I’m always more for going the compassionate route but I don’t appreciate how this situation has been dealt with. It’s NOT ok to use someone else’s music regardless of how much or how little was used, especially without credit."

tl;dr music was stolen

Or it wasn't, depending on who will talk about this. You're passing a sentence after hearing only one side of the issue..

Isn't this the 2nd time this has happened with this band?

Anyway, it doesn't sound anything like Obscura which is...weird. Reminds me of Hypocrisy tbh.

Agree. It sounds something like Arch Enemy, or Hypocrisy, as you said. It is not the sound I was hoping to find...
