The Retromorphosis album likely being pushed to 2025 makes me sad. Was looking forward to that.

Thanks for moderating this on such a short notice. Pretty solid piece of news I'd say.

@NexCeleris yeah me too, the wait has been almost unbearable

is he planning on improving his songwriting though

or are we getting more tweedly thinking unwashed neckbeard metal from him

@Pika good point. Retromorphosis is the main thing to look forward to for me tho, and there it should be Muenzner's tweedles added to Bryssling's superior songwriting.

Zackly. With his new project, you just know it's gonna be the latter. Dude can't help it.

Looking forward to the Retromorphosis album. Not interested in anything else CM is doing, however.

"tech/prog thrash in the tradition of bands like Deathrow, Coroner, Obliveon, Watchtower, Toxik etc. mixed with some 90s tech death influences [...], jazz/fusion elements"

Hmmmmmm

Great news on Eternity's End and yeah let the tech thrash flow, but please keep the death metal factor to a minimum.



-- and tons of guitar solos inspired by everyone who was on the Shrapnel label between 1985 and 1999

Are there guitarists nowadays who can play solos the Shrapnel way, who are not pushing, say, 60?

Christian leaving Alkaloid earlier this year and now Obscura kinda makes me sad. A Valediction was the best Obscura album in a long time and was expecting great things in the future. Good for the guy to have this many projects and ideas though.

I'll check it all but damn he's out of Obscura yet again? What's up with that

"Creative differences", as is tradition with Steffen.

"creative differences"

Same shit every time...

Fuck man I loved Incurso ngl hope that album rules

He needs to find a better singer for Eternity's End though.

^agreed lol

He's claiming that the new Obscura album has stolen riffs from him on it

Woah really? That's sad. Tbh when I caught them live last year he seemed "off", like he wasn't enjoying it as much as the rest of the band. Good news is that if we add Alex Weber's accusations of stealing music ideas we know next Obscura album is going to be very good rofl.

They quit because they thought the material they had come up with wasn't strong enough (yet), but Steffen wanted to hit the studio asap regardless. Wouldn't count on the new one being good tbh.
