OBSCURA - Omnivium (2011)

Lucificum · Dernière édition par Lucificum le Lun 27 Sep 2010 18:54; édité 1 fois

Progressive death metal act OBSCURA has begun recording the follow-up album to their breakthrough release Cosmogenesis at Woodshed Studio in southern Germany. Engineer V. Santura (TRIPTYKON, DARK FORTRESS) will helm the recording. An early 2011 release date is expected with additional album details to be announced soon.

OBSCURA founder Steffen Kummerer commented on the new album; "We are glad to work with our long-time friend V.Santura once again to record our new album. The new material feels broader in some way as everybody in this band brought many unique ideas to the songwriting and we were able to integrate different elements into our sound. More open chords, more acoustic guitars, more seven string shred-tunes. Remember: more is always more. We are excited to create another album of progressive death metal and to start touring through the whole world in early 2011.”

OBSCURA’s recording and touring line-up remains as Kummerer on guitar and vocals, Christian Muenzner on guitar, Jeroen Paul Thesseling on bass and Hannes Grossman on drums. The band will round out the Cosmogenesis touring cycle with a performance as part of the Mezcal Metal Festival in Mexico City, Mexico in September.

Updated OBSCURA news / album / tour information will be made available at the Relapse Records website: www.RELAPSE.com, the official OBSCURA website: www.OBSCURA-METAL.com, MySpace page: MySpace.com/RealmofObscura, and Facebook fan page.

Ca va s'appeller Omnivium.

Progressive death metal act OBSCURA has set "Omnivium" as the title of its new album, due in early 2011 via Relapse Records. The nine-track CD was recorded and is now being mixed at Woodshed Studio in southern Germany with engineer V. Santura (TRIPTYKON, DARK FORTRESS).

"Although we recorded again with our longtime friend and producer V. Santura in the Woodshed Studios, the studio sessions were hard work and lots of sweat. It was for the best, though, since 'Omnivium' is definitely the next step for this band.
Christian [Muenzer; guitar] recorded some outstanding solos with a new eight-finger tapping technique, Jeroen [Paul Thesseling; bass] brought his own stamp of fretless tone into the mix again, and Hannes [Grossmann; drums] recorded his heaviest session to date and broke through the 260-bpm line. Everyone brought lots of great ideas to the table and made 'Omnivium' a truly collaborative band effort.

OBSCURA: RAN Guitars To Create Official Steffen Kummerer Signature Guitar

Polish guitar manufacturer RAN Guitars have signed on to create an official Steffen Kummerer signature guitar. The custom OBSCURA model will be a 7-string, neck-through-body mahogany guitar featuring EMG pickups and a Schaller Floyd Rose tremolo. The band’s logo will be embossed on the fret board inlay. Detailed photos of the guitar can be viewed now at this location.

Kummerer commented on his partnership with RAN Guitars: "I am glad to be a part of the RAN family now. I started playing RAN custom built guitars in 2003 and was instantly impressed with the high quality of the build, fine woods, and precise hardware they use. You'll hear and see the new RAN axes during the upcoming tours in support of Obscura's new album in February '11."

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!"

Ca sortira en Mars.

Et le batteur prépare un DVD pédagogique qui s'appellera Progressive Concepts For The Modern Metal Drummer.

OBSCURA has recently completed work on their brand new album Omnivium and has revealed its track listing as: “Septuagint”, “Vortex Omnivium”, “Ocean Gateways”, “Euclidean Elements”, “Prismal Dawn”, “Celestial Spheres”, “Velocity”, “A Transcendental Serenade”, and “Aevum”. Omnivium was recorded at Woodshed Studio in southern Germany with engineer V. Santura (TRIPTYKON, DARK FORTRESS) and is expected to see a March 2011 release date. Additional album details will be announced shortly.

OBSCURA drummer Hannes Grossman commented on recording Omnivium; “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!"

Additionally, 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.

Grossman commented on his forthcoming DVD; “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. A listing of dates and cities can be found below with more to be announced soon.

OBSCURA Tour Dates:

Dec. 4 Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium Mass Deathtruction Festival (w/ NAPALM DEATH, SODOM, more)

C'est très Death mélo et beaucoup moins tordu qu'avant.
C'est pas mal mais je suis assez circonspect. Confused

Le dernier était tellement énorme que je vais l'acheter les yeux fermés. Maintenant, faut voir, on en a vu un paquet des groupes capables de sortir des immondes merdes juste après avoir pondu un chef d'oeuvre (Static par exemple)...

Je suis le seul a trouve que "The decider" de Daath ressemble à du Obscura ?

Le batteur sort son DVD, on peut le commander là : http://www.hannesgrossmann.com/shop/

"The DVD is appropriate for beginners, intermediate and advanced drummers. I wanted to show my specific practice concepts, but also give an insight into combining different styles with death metal drumming — like I do in OBSCURA. So the DVD also features a lot of music performances of OBSCURA, but also others, like Ron Jarzombek. It was a lot of work but I think it was definitely worth it."
