OBSCURA Completes Work On New Album; Track Listing Revealed

November 15, 2010

Progressive death metal act OBSCURA will release its new album, "Omnivium", in March 2011 via Relapse Records. The nine-track CD was recorded and mixed at Woodshed Studio in southern Germany with engineer Victor Bullok (a.k.a. V. Santura) of TRIPTYKON and DARK FORTRESS.

"Omnivium" track listing:

01. Septuagint
02. Vortex Omnivium
03. Ocean Gateways
04. Euclidean Elements
05. Prismal Dawn
06. Celestial Spheres
07. Velocity
08. A Transcendental Serenade
09. Aevum

Commented OBSCURA drummer Hannes Grossman: "The recording process was intense and time-consuming, but it brought us many steps forward as musicians both individually and collectively.

"The songs are still catchy, but there are more epic parts involved, as well as faster and more melodic songs. The extremes of the band's sound extend on all sides, so to say. Expect some things which have never been done before like this in death metal!"

Grossman is working on his first instructional drum DVD, titled "Progressive Concepts For The Modern Metal Drummer". The DVD will feature different chapters about hand/foot techniques, blast beats, advanced double bass drumming, rhythmic modulations, and song and performance tutorials.

Commented Grossman: "After the recordings for OBSCURA's new album, I decided to start filming because the energy of the recording process was still valid. The final motivation came from NILE drummer George Kollias, with whom we toured in Japan. Thanks again, bro! Of course the DVD will not only feature solo and song performances, but also very deep advice about the things that I use, like finger control technique, hybrid techniques, advanced foot technique or odd-time signatures."
OBSCURA has been confirmed for the Mass Deathtruction festival in Belgium and Bang Your Head!!! festival in Luxembourg taking place this December.
