@@ha-tsuneko Yeah, Christian loves power metal. You can hear his power metal neoclassical influence from his first solo album, Timewarp. I couldn't get enough of that album.

This album is really showing the versatility of Obscura: Solaris is a tech death song with 1000 notes per minute, A Valediction is a melodeath catchy song, Devoured Usurper is a Morbid Angel type of song, heavy as hell, and this song is very energetic, fast and even happy sounding, with a power metal influence. I'm hyped to hear the full album, and I hope they don't release any more songs until then so the hype won't fade away.

Isn't there an extended version of this, where they repeat that last chorus a little more?, damn ..too beautiful to fade out that early.

This song makes me so happy for two reasons 1. I recall Christian mentioning that he really loves power metal despite being mostly known for death metal. It feels good to see him playing the style he loves in one of his most iconic band. 2. Obscura writes a song quite distinct from their usual sound (an awesome one at that) so what makes Obscura Obscura? Idk about others but for me the answer is Jeroen's double stop fretless bass lines.

Yes. He said that in a Thomann video. He said he is actually more of a power metal/80s shred guy. He was sort of "pulled" into Necrophagist, which he did love though. He mentioned that he doesnt really like the generic tech death stuff being put out all the time... Thats why i think he is back in Obscura, making prog/tech death...

Sick. Christian's absolutely amazing lead playing is what makes this song.

Bjørn from Soilwork kind of brings this into Scar Symmetry territory. Digging how every song has a very unique character on this album so far, and I'm really liking the genuine surprises I'm finding. All the tracks fit together coherently, but nothing ever really fulfills the same purpose as what came before it. Admittedly, I hope we get to hear a bit more of Steffen's lower vocal range before the album's over, but I suspect I won't be disappointed here. Good stuff.

The most melodic, least dark sound from Obscura. And it's a good thing. Something totally different from the band right after Devoured Usurper.

The guitar-duo "solo" reminded me of Cacophony. Pretty cool.

Christian is absolutely crushing it. So awesome to hear.

I have to comment again... 4:12 is one of the most beautiful licks I have listened in a lot of time. Some people will say that shredders doesn't have any feel to play...

I don't normally care for clean singing in death metal, but it works really well here. This song is absolutely amazing, as is the rest of the album. It's some of their most diverse material and probably their best since Cosmogenesis. Christian returning to this band is one of the best things to happen in tech death in a long time.

Usually I am not to comment but the work on this album deserves all the possible recognition, personally it gives me the impression that it is, to this day, one of their most versatile plates in which the different influences are felt and converge. You can see the work and attention to detail in many songs and each one has a very strong identity. Although Death's philosophy is evident when experimenting in each new work, Oscura this time has expanded beyond its own mold, I like the direction they are taking. One of the most beautifully unexpected releases that has become one of my favorites of 2021. I will see them if they come to my country for this album, they deserve it.

Love this direction. Going for the melodic angle without sacrificing technicality. Its just a great banger.

LOOOOOVEEEEDDDD the guitar solos and chorus!! LOVE YOU GUYS!!! AMAZING SONG!

Yet another excellent song from these dudes. The melody is a great contradiction to the metal - love this. 🤘🤘🙂🙂👍👍
