Obscura's 'When Stars Collide'

2021-10-19 by Fernando Alves STAFF | 20 Comments
Obscura shared a music video for another new song, 'When Stars Collide', off their upcoming full-length A Valediction, out November 19th via Nuclear Blast. The track features Soilwork's Björn 'Speed' Strid.

'When Stars Collide' official music video can be seen below.


Directed by Mirko Witzki | Produced by Steffen Kummerer

Steffen Kummerer comments: "One of the highlights and contested compositions of 'A Valediction' features Björn Strid of our label mates Soilwork. 'When Stars Collide' recombines an uplifting pace with a rather dark and bitter narrative that leads into a story for reflection. A sense of delight and feeling of relief covers all mournful misery."

A Valediction tracklist:
1. Forsaken
2. Solaris
3. A Valediction
4. When Stars Collide (feat. Björn 'Speed' Strid)
5. In Unity
6. Devoured Usurper
7. The Beyond
8. Orbital Elements II
9. The Neuromancer
10. In Adversity
11. Heritage

These cleans were somewhat unexpected. Good stuff.
I'm looking forward to this.

Aight the cars are fuckin godly, especially that GTO but the song sounds like generic melodeath to my ears unfortunately.

Obscura has a Soilwork chorus now nice. I really enjoyed the guitar lead at the end. Love that melodic stuff. The album feels all over the place so far. And did he put some distortion on the vocals on this album? Sounds pretty cool

I enjoy Soilwork, but tbh I never liked Bjorn's clean vocals. I can tolerate them in Soilwork but mixing them here just sounds bad.

Radical. I can tell they’re just letting go of the concept of genre and doing whatever they want, and they’re the kind of musicians that can do most anything.

Unusually uplifting for Obscura, pleasant surprise, I kinda like it. Technically mindblowing of course.
Car setting is pretty lame tho.

Loved Soilwork when I was first getting into metal. Haven't jammed them in ages though and gonna have to now for the nostalgia. Love the bass here like with all the Obscura I've heard. The flashy guitar moments are pretty cool too. Not something I'd really go back to though. Solo went a little long imo. Will check the full thing when it drops though
