Germany’s progressive death metal masters OBSCURA announce vinyl reissues of the band’s first three albums (Retribution, Cosmogenesis & Omnivium). OBSCURA’s debut album Retribution is now available on vinyl for the first time ever and the long-out-of-print Omnivium is back in stock on 2xLP for the first time since the original release.

Omnivium

Omnivium finds the band pushing the progressive edges of the genre’s sounds to new heights while delivering the technical metal that has become their calling card. The band gracefully blends brutality and beauty with complex, commanding songs played at stunningly virtuosic levels. Reissue 2019. Limited to 1000/250 copies, worldwide. Release 25th of January 2019.

Retribution

Their debut Retribution is a beastly album blending the savagery of New York death metal with the fleet-fingered fretting of forerunners Death and Gorguts. Retribution documents the first steps in the journey of one of metals most crucial new bands. First Vinyl Edition. Limited to 1000/250 copies. Release 25th of January 2019.

Cosmogenesis

OBSCURA’s Relapse debut Cosmogenesis is a front-to-back stroke of brilliance that seamlessly fuses modern metals extremity, the upper levels of technical virtuosity, and the symphonic grace of progressive music into a flawless album experience. The band more than justifies their impressive pedigree with what became a timeless classic in the making. Reissue 2019. Limited to 1000 / 250 copies, worldwide. Release 25th of January 2019.

Now in 2018, OBSCURA complete their long-running, four-album conceptual circle with the release of Diluvium (defined as a great oceanic flood), their most evocative, diverse and vibrant release to date. Recorded with longtime producer V. Santura (Triptykon, Pestilence) at Woodshed Studios in Landshut, Germany, Diluvium is a stunning achievement for the illustrious quartet and a landmark release for progressive metal as a whole. Complete with all the band’s signature elements plus groundbreaking polyrhythms, dramatic songwriting, and jaw-dropping 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.
