Obscura Drop New Song

2021-07-02 by Fernando Alves STAFF | 30 Comments
German tech masters Obscura dropped the first single, 'Solaris', off their upcoming new album A Valediction, out November 19th via Nuclear Blast. The official video can be seen below.


Directed by Mirko Witzki

Steffen Kummerer comments: " 'Solaris' turned out to become one of the band’s shortest and utmost direct compositions featuring all trademarks, lots of attitude and melodic approach. Flattering guitar work, pushing drums and swinging bass lines combined with a relentless vocal performance and ultrasonic leads became easily a highlight of 'A Valediction'.

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

Kummerer’s comment reads like he’s mildly retarded and the song’s a disjointed mess with terrible vocals.

Fuckin loved it, the shorter song length and traditional song structure worked well for them. Also digging the neoclassical style leads on this one, typically they're doing a lot of diminished stuff.

Certainly is an Obscura song. Not blowing my socks off, but it's on par for them. Short and sweet and simple, I like it. Probably fits right in in the context of the album.

Song delivers. Guitar work is astounding. Kummerer's vox have never been worse tho. Bass seems to say hey look at me I have 7 strings too!
Vid gave me a headache with those 0.5 second frame switches.

Dunno how much Christian contributed to the writing but this sounds much more in line with Cosmogenesis than Akroasis/Diluvium style-wise

Band was on the set of the first show I ever went to with Augury, Hatesphere and The Black Dahlia Murder and I was in a huge tech death phase back then so my main attraction was Augury and Obscura. Haven't jammed anything beyond their first two albums and although I don't revisit them often I always have a soft spot for them when I do.
Song was pretty decent. Don't think the vocals are bad but I think they could be lower in the mix maybe. Loving the bass and where it's sitting also. What album should I jam beyond the first two until this drops?

Pretty impressive how he works around that left hand middle finger during soloing, yeah. Not a normal playthrough for sure.
