Lyrics:
Within a fountain of stars, deforming remnants pulsate
in eclectic wisdom sublime, warping quantiles vibrate
Divine, a glimpse of carbon-based life, A gargantuan symmetric pursuit
in harmonic order, monolithic derivation, of seminal repute
Arise - Emanation of cosmos and time
Revive - Relinquished, forsaken, deserted mankind
Omnipresent, eudemonic, abandoned in ecstasy
Beyond all finite and infinite, quantile elements scintillate
in serendipity stillborn, a harmonic resonance amain
I was attending a small Beyond Creation concert and when I looked to my left I saw all the members of Obscura just chilling and enjoying the music, they weren't even playing a show that night. I even was able to have a chat with everyone and they were super chill it was one if not the best concert experience I had so far :)
Nice try Steffen
Beyond creation is fuckin amazing, I saw them open at a cannibal corpse show like 10 years ago and they blew me away
SEVEN STRINGS
S E V E N S T R I N G S
+shadowtroop121 Check out Alkaloid, Linus uses the same bass with them
+shadowtroop121 NO FRETS
N O F R E T S
+iam spoon bender I play a six string and get plenty of shit for it from my friends. playing a seven string might get me killed lol
shadowtroop121 I get shit just for playing bass lmao
+shadowtroop121 That's kinda tricky... its a 5 freetless strings plus 2 with normal fret.
"Hey guys let's make a music video."
"Oh! Oh! I had this really good idea; so like, this giant creature is rising out of the middle of the ocean and -"
"Let's just have close ups of us playing instruments."
"Fuck me, that's genius."
This is hilarious
Cant wait for us humans in the future to grow 12 hand fingers , metal will be unstoppable!!
12 fingered hands?
No. 12 handed fingers.
Blahiesfkns Vvadik I was high sorry
It's okay we all get high off of Obscura.
Blahiesfkns Vvadik fucking awesome music, iIwas like yeah dude I need to see them live.
+Oscar AlfaX I'm a 16 year old kid in a family that'll never understand metal so I've never had the chance :((((
That guitar solo is BEYOND human capabilities
rafael trujillo (the guy in the video) is a true virtuoso but the MONSTER who wrote this and played for the album recording is Tom (fountainhead) Geldschläger
all credit to him , although he was fired by steffen just before the release of this album....
(i cant believe how anyone can fire you....when you are overpassing excellence in your job)
***** damn, i just hope Rafael can play as godly as Tom or even.... Christian...
learned and performed in 30 minutes, its easy just practice more
It's not just playing something, it's how you play it lol
i guess he was just trolling....no way you can learn this in 30 m....even if you are a virtuoso like Tom, you need to memorize all the notes....and if you can .... no way you can learn those ultra fast slides 1:56-1:59 (rafael in the video plays them as hammer-pulloff sounds almost the same but its 10 times more difficult if you play it with slides like Fountainhead) in 30 minnutes
show us the video Stephen Schmitz
2:34 "Hey Ladies, how ya doin?"
Hahahaha, I know. He looks fu#$ing hot!
omg, his expression was priceless
Looool!!! You made my day :D
Some Kind of Master Bassists don’t get ladies
This is one of those songs that just grows on you with time. It is now one of my favourite Obscura songs after about 20 listens in a row!
+as101345207 Agreed. I hated this song the first time I heard it, now I think it's absolutely stunning.
+as101345207 happens always to me when listening to more complex songs, it needs time and grows on you. It took me 2 years to really appreciate necrophagist.
That's interesting, I personally got into necrophagist really quickly. Probably because of their neoclassical vibe (I love classical music).
It's the first song that got me to Obscura, because during that time I was working my ass off to finish my Architectural Drawings, so I needed some relaxing but aggressive punch, cause coffee don't do anything anymore.
This is so glorious, really...Godly perfect musicians they are! Can't stop listening to this song and the teaser. 3:32 to 3:58 gives me goosebumbs it's like that bittersweet part builds up til the clear guitar end. On 3:50 the bass is really hearable, for me that is one of the climaxes of the song because it gives such a intense feel.
I agree 100%....this is pure bliss. Buying the album.
+Spacesonia eargasm
+Spacesonia I love hearing distinct bass lines. Venom's Nightmare has an awesome bass spot leading into the guitar solo
+Spacesonia Can't stop too. Wonderful.
+Spacesonia Yeah, it's an amazing track. I really love the production of death metal where the bass cuts through so clearly and plays a huge part in the progression of the arrangements (i.e. beyond creation, obscura, death....etc).
so stoked to see them with beyond creation in october
what a sick line up!!
gonna see them as well Obscure with BC and Revocation, that's gonna be one hell of a night
Same!
so effin jealous!!
:O Just found out beyond creations is coming to my town in October !! so stoked
Schuldiner legacy!! Great masters sons of the unique father of the Melodic Techicnal Death Metal!!
2:19 - 2:25 is one of the most sublime passages I've ever heard.
one of those parts, i skip back a thousand times!
JohnGribbin Right? I don't even know how many times I've gone back just to listen to that. Takes my breath away every time.
all credit to geldschläger!
Oh definitely - Fountainhead is utterly insane!
JohnGribbin I thought I was the only one. Lol
Love the format of this music video, no excessive distractions or unnecessary additions... just good quality camera work showing each member dominating his respective instrument!
james franco really singing his heart out here
Wow, Tom really delivered on guitars. Always impressive. Happy Linus could have so much input and Seb could stretch it. :) Bravo to Seb, Linus and Tom. :)
+G. Reis The actual guitar parts were played and recorded by Tom Geldschläger aka Fountainhead (now ex-member). Go check him out he's a great player and musician.
+G. Reis Uh... no they didn't. Check out Fountainhead's Facebook page. He bashes the new guy for incorrectly synchronizing his fingers to the solos and on the same post Linus comments that "This is my favorite solo from you (Fountainhead) on this album". And Obscura stated the following on their Facebook page "Tom Geldschläger was part of this album, and we are very thankful for his contributions. We didn't mention him on the teaser, because we wanted to present our new guitarist (new song material, new artwork, new lineup), but of course he is mentioned & credited on the album as made public prior to announcing the new album." So... his parts are still on the album.
+G. Reis Fountainhead wrote a good portion of the album and wrote and recorded all the leads. He was fire via phone call a day before the album was done being mixed, lol.
+James Moran Was a proper reason ever given to clear up the ugly display of negative egoism surrounding the (what is beginning to look very much like a) revolving door of players in relation to the release of this album? I love Obscura and Steffen's vision for the band remains intact because of his innate talent and serious drive, as a musician, to be heard.... but without a stable line-up this band WILL falter... it's just a matter of time. OBSCURA for real!!!!
***** Nope, I see/feel the same thing. I hope they don't go all necrophagist on us.
Actually listening to this band for the first time. I have to say they're one of the better metal bands of the current era.
02:18 this part should've been made longer. really cool sounding. the lead, the rhythm and drums suit so good.
Probably the best sweeping stuff ever.
Obscura from mighty to masterful, don't ever stop making music.
Stuff like this is why I don't get how anyone can waste their time with pop music.
Dorian V Do you even Aurora?
but there is good pop out there if you search past the top 50 shit lmao
Metal is subgenre of pop music.
Czapla Siwa Sort of. As I understand it, the umbrella term "popular music" and the ever-evolving genre of "pop music" are separate entities
Digital Deathsquid
Yes, popular music basically means anything that's not classical (including Jazz) whereas pop means dumbed-down, commercialised music-lite.
my life changed after i heard this song
I love Obscura!!!!!!!!! The best fucking band in this shitting times!!
Welcome To The Obscure Era...
+George Bautista I sense a Twilight Zone mood in the clean part and space.
It's amazing to see a band like this they know perfectly how to mix the harmonic and melodic sound with the tecnical sophistication and the most impotant feeling and the lyrics out of mind, this is the end of a hard work the progress of magnificent I can't express with words the infinite admiration that they make me feel. Long live to metal, long live to poetry , long live to music , long live to deep and glorious feeling , long live to Obscura.
Can't stop listening to this song.
So dark, yet so bright.
Outstanding... At the moment, Obscura remain the best european technical-death metal band and they set the threshold really high.
Thanks for the random recommendation, TH-cam
I'm surprised, really, at how incredible this song is considering the seious lineup change. Plus even though the guitarist in the video didn't compose this solo and I don't think he performed it on record either, he seems very capable of playing it. Well done, I'm glad I don't have to worry about the future of obscura as much anymore.
That solo came straight from heaven .
Yes. Given to us by the angel Tom Fountainhead Geldschlager
Cara achei tudo o que eu queria nesse vídeo...
Que melodia o cara viaja, Belo som ! 1:17
Love that sound of the arpegiatted chords I think
00:11 I only saw a fucking octopus playing instead of his fingers
Truly a musical meditation
Bow your head to the Majesty that is Obscura.
Dat bass tone! :)
Uwielbiam takie granie - bardzo przypomina wczesny SCEPTIC !!!
Brawo Niemiaszki... Great Album....
Everyone talking about the bass and thats fine but cant you see how perfect every detail in this song is?
I don't know about you but this is my kind of Obscura! Always appreciate awesome guitar work! Tom did an amazing job on this one, and I'm sure Rafael did too in the other songs! Only the best plays in Obscura.
holy f**k balls...now thats a bass!!
The bass playing is fucking beautiful.
*floathing in space while my brain is consumed by each note of this song and my bones, my flesh and my blood exists no more, reaching my freedom*
Damn, this song is so good as fuck.
the licks are inhuman, but they still sound so beautiful. most of the tech deth metal bands can play even faster even complicated, but this sounds so elegant and energetic.
One of my fav tech-death band finally release new album
The bassist is David Ghetta?
+Spark Blasphemer
we dont know....we know only about musicians here
: )
***** i was being sarcastic...
+Spark Blasphemer
i know man, i was joking too saying that i dont know who david getta is but.....it was a joke.....sadly i know who that guy is....like the rest of the world ...
but at least we all know here that he has less than 1% of the talent that he would ever need to write and after (if he had the guts...) to learn to play what is written like Obscura does
these guys are just too good for the majority of the people on earth to understand....
: )
there are genius, and then those who arent but at least can appreciate what a genius is....
So many trolls on da net bro, so many (the struggle), made me doubt what you said (in your joke)... Obscura is da real deal!!!
+Spark Blasphemer It's Linus Klausenitzer...unless there's some joke here that I'm not getting.
I really like OBSCURA a lot. 'Akroasis' is an awesome CD/Album/Video. They have a super unique progressive style that reminds me (in a good way) of the Technical progressive Death metal band: CYNIC (Their CD/Album: FOCUS is Brilliant!) OBSCURA is one of my favorite CD/Albums to listen to in 2020. peace.
Okay I am in love with this song, especially at 2:00 and I'll listen to this in repeat for the next 4 weeks
Thats the best guitar solo ive ever heard
There should be no question, Obscura are masters of death metal. Sehr, sehr toll!!
Tom Geldschläger's black green guitar remind me about Type O Negative
February cannot come soon enough!
Maravilhoso
got a pre order for the orange/white vinyl. cant wait!!! RELEASE ANOTHER TRACK
I love the fast paced
the singer looks like james franco after that miraculous solo
I Think In Progressive/Technical Death Metal is Obscura, then nothing for a long time, and then the others. ❤❤
This Song would be amazing in Guitar Hero
Technicality 10/10, Performance 10/10, Song Writing 10/10, Sound 10/10, Originality 0/10, Appreciation 8/10
Upload your music that you have written so we can all see how original it is. We're waiting...
Cette basse... Mais cette basse ! Tellement cool !
Stephen Kummerer is such a great Lead
Love the bass section so much
If I wasn't watching the video, I would've thought that was Petri Lindroos on vocals. Sick band though, definitely gonna check out more of their material.
Ridiculously fantastic...
These guys are fkn SIIIIIIIIIICK!!!!!!! Dissection meets Symphony X/Dream Theater meets.....skills beyond many!
Una obra maestra yo siempre pensé que solo eran gritos sin sentido pero realmente te trasmite ese sentimiento, es increíble!
*praying for them to be part of the 30 unannounced bands of Hellfest 2016*
They're at Motocultor
(Same place, same season, way better festival)
yes but after spending 200€ for hellfest i think that my choice is already made
I was watching a Beyond Creation video and figured this would be another tech-death band with Cookie Monster vocals but he sounds more like Jon Nodtveidt. I like it.
is very difficult to see a 7-8 strings guitar with single coils
drummer looks out of breath 0:18 seconds in. love it!
That solo is just incredible!
they sound extremely good. this is the first time that I saw a bass with 6 cords
Strings?
I know they're supposed to be scary and dark and stuff but I'd like more metal bands to smile
Damn saw these guys opening for someone like five years ago and haven't given them a listen since, because the tech death thing got a little out of hand. But this is simply exquisite, I don't think I've heard anything so heavy yet beautifully flowing ever.
Tearing up. this is truly beautiful
Awesome, as expected!
After being at least partially unimpressed with the new line-up, I gotta say this blew my mind!!! Can't wait for the new album
+Ian Berling Yeah, the drummer is boring compared to Grossmann.
+Deathbyblackhole Agreed man. The new drummer is decent, but he's no Hannes, I think it's the toned dowwn cymbal play that makes me less appreciative of the new drummer. Still, i'm loving this song tho.
2:18 is just😫🙏🏾🔥
After the first 20 in a row listenings i can say , this has nothing to do with old obscura :D
this is bloody amazing
Am i the only one who noted that hybrid picking in 2:04 ??
+Mr Nova59 He's nuts.
spotted that as well these guys have come a long way since I seen them on cannibal corpses evisceration tour
chicken pickin
+Mr Nova59 Evolution O:
It looks very cool, and more on a Tech death song but being objective I think is unnecesary
This is THE BAND, steffen THE MAN!!
hope the album is more melodic, but less predictable. Hail Obscura!
I actually like that new Obscura gentle tone.
that solo
The burp is my favorite part!
delivered as expected! Hail obscura!
Great song just preordered my t shirt bundle
Imagine Obscura and Necrophagist touring together worldwide. -- in my dreams..
I must thank Obscura. My life just got simple as I saw how simple is to perform their sound... 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This sounds very polished.
toooooooo savage.this is future music.
this album is awesome for me is one of the most anticipated albums of this year haha!
Very very nice bass linus !!!
Great but I miss Hannes Grossmann.
..... and Christian Muenzner.
And Tom Geldschlager :P
Hell yeah... 2019...
Bass is awesome!
Amazing song!! awesome solo´s and killer line up!! Obscura rules!! \m/
It's okay. Need to listen more
Idk if its only me but at 1st thought i guess akroasis means
Akro= acro= height, high place, elevation
Oasis= calm and comfortable place
When mixed both its could be like a high place which makes u feel a tranquility.
I don't even care about prog stuff anymore really but this was amazing. Wasn't over the top but still unavoidably technical and progressive. Nice.
Open the portal of universe while I listen Obscura! ✊
Bassist is amazing.
