„As of today I finished recording rhythm guitars, most of the lead guitars and tracking vocals for the new Obscura album with V. Santura at Woodshed Studios, Germany. All arrangements worked fluently, each and every detail is elaborated to it’s entirely. Tight to the core, the performance of our rhythm section made it easy recording guitars for this monster of an album. Rounding out each and every composition, details such as acoustic guitars, a string ensemble, choirs and the remaining solos are the next pieces to record and finish the most diverse and progressive album this band ever produced up to this date.

While putting the final touches to our fourth full length album, the band is working on a full touring cycle to play for you and share our music with our loyal fans. We finish the new record before hitting the road to play this year’s Summer Slaughter tour. Come out and enjoy the most extreme tour of the year!” – Steffen Kummerer

“It´s been almost a week since I was in the studio tracking drums for the new Obscura album. It was an awesome experience, a great time with lots of fun, inspiration and exhausting drum arrangements. The drums are sounding amazing and I am really satisfied with how the arrangements turned out. I think that the new album has a lot of Obscura´s original trademarks paired with some new elements I really like. Finding a word which fits the music is kind of hard but “richness” comes to my mind when thinking of the compositions, arrangements, instrumentation and last but not least craft!” – Sebastian Lanser

“Working with Jan Vacik and Dejan Djukovic at Dreamsound Studios, Munich was the right decision to improve the band’s overall sound in terms of dynamics and brightness. A large recording room and the analog tube mixing desk gives us more freedom during the mix and let the drums shine through with a warm and punchy sound they deserve. Within five days Sebastian nailed each song and tracked the most ambitious and complex material Obscura came up to this day.” – Steffen Kummerer
