About Obscura
OBSCURA have redefined technical and progressive death metal since their formation in 2002 by Steffen Kummerer. Known for their conceptual depth and musical precision, the German band has released seven critically acclaimed albums and performed over 800 shows across four continents. Their new release A Sonication (2025, Nuclear Blast) marks the second part of a trilogy and reflects OBSCURA’s most advanced, elegant, and forward-thinking work to date. Produced by Fredrik Nordström (In Flames, Architects), the album blends brutal riffs, melodic depth, and philosophical lyricism into a cohesive sonic journey. Tracks like Silver Linings, Evenfall, and The Sun Eater illustrate the band’s continued innovation. With a strong global following and unmatched artistic ambition, OBSCURA remain a beacon in the world of extreme metal.
