We’re excited to announce that OBSCURA bassist Linus Klausenitzer is now endorsed by Darkglass Electronics.
Linus comments: “I have always been very critical about distortion pedals on bass. They often kill the attack and hide the character of a player. But Darkglass Elektronic worked on solutions for exactly those problems and created pedals that made my concerns completely obsolete. I am proud to represent their innovative products.”
OBSCURA is proud to announce a first show for 2020!
It will be a home game when we’ll be performing at the Heidelberg Deathfest 2020 – Part V on March 21 along with Krisiun, Memoriam UK, Disbelief and many more!
We’ll let you know when tickets are on sale!

See you there! 🤘
Steffen Kummerer stopped by to talk about his band Obscura, a very different writing approach (at least for Metal bands) and has some great insight on how to approach rhythm guitar lines! Also in this video: A new ENGL amp! Signal chain: ESP – ENGL Savage 120 E-610/2 MKII – ENGL 412VS Pro.
For the very first time, German progressive and technical death metal virtuosos OBSCURA hit Australia and New Zealand!
From their very beginnings in 2002, the band have demonstrated an uncanny ability for blending different forms of technical, cerebral metal into a coherent synthesis of death, thrash and black metal merged with progressive elements. Not one to bend to convention, OBSCURA distinguished themselves and their unique brand of music via the tasteful use of vocal effects, fretless bass, philosophical underpinnings, and other elements rarely touched on in extreme metal.
In 2018, OBSCURA complete their long-running, four-album conceptual circle with the release of Diluvium. Complete with all the band’s signature elements plus groundbreaking polyrhythms, dramatic songwriting, and almost incomparable virtuosity, OBSCURA raise the bar once again with an album that will go down in the annals of metal history as one of the most astonishing performances the genre has to offer.
Complimenting the technical insanity will be Australia’s longstanding metal progressive leaders in ALARUM. Blending all forms of metal alongside rock, jazz, latin and fusion, ALARUM have proven they can match the big names on a worldwide level.
Shifting between frothing black metal hate to slower progressive instrumental interludes and back again, the mysterious SOMNIUM NOX will no doubt leave a chilling impression upon those summoned.
After 23 shows without a day off Obscura finish the Diluvium Europa Tour.
Obscura want to thank all fans, promoters, crew, Fallujah, Allegaeon, First Fragment and everyone else who supported this tour.
In March and April the Diluvium World tour will continue in Australia, New Zealand and Japan.
