LYRICS:
WE LEFT IN EMPATHY, OUR FAITH, OUR LOST ENDEAVOUR
THROUGH SANCTITY ENSLAVED, IN A WORLD FULL OF LIES
IN VAIN, FORLORN, IN SILENT MISERY
IN REMNANTS OF TIME, WE UNCHAINED THE SACRED TIES
IN AEONS LOST, EMBRACED IN NIGHT
A REVELATION, FAITHFULLY ELATED
IN GRIEF WE MOURN, WE ABLAZE IN LIGHT
A CONFESSION, SINFULLY CREATED
IN SILENCE WE FEAR
WE REVIVE OUR MEMORIES
AND ASCEND FROM THE PAST
IN AN ETERNAL SPHERE
WE ARE DRENCHED IN SOLITUDE
ECLIPSED, EDEN IS NEAR
WITHIN THE SILVER LINES, PERCEIVED, ENLIGHTENED BLISS.
BEYOND INFINITY, ETERNAL COSMIC ABYSS
IN SOLEMNITY WE RISE, OUR CREED, OUR FOUND CONFESSOR THROUGH MORALITY CONDEMNED, THE INEVITABLE DEMISE

The moment Steffen can get AI Bandmembers he'll finally get a chance of keeping his line-up. Or he becomes the sole reason for Skynet
Nah, he should form a duo with Tim Lambesis 🤔
Steffen is actually an AI Chatbot that outgrew his source code and became self-aware, picked up a guitar, and became a legend.
That's why his playing precision is so phenomenal, he's basically a robot.
I'm not aware of this band history other than the fact that many talented artists have been in this band. What's the story behind such repetitive changes? They're def popular in the genre
@@JosephAlloccaExcept his playing precision is far from phenomenal. Listen to that live album, specifically when he introduces the main riff to "A Valediction."
Sounds like Kreator trapped in a really hard maths equation.
That's so right and fucking hilarious
Indeed! :D
Its a German Line 😇
Seriously lmao, I can't type please leave more comments, laughing pretty hard right now, nice one!
There is absolutely no comparing obscura to Kreator. It’s like comparing slayer to Judas Priest.
New album, new members (future ex members).😎
😅
Hey every time they leave they form a new awesome band together. 😂 Im not mad about it.
@@MFRIITIIR yep, I agree.
@@Mr3l3ctr0-0 And Fountainhead as well.
@@Mr3l3ctr0-0 We still get great music all the same. You guys are way too in your feelings about stuff that doesn't actually affect you.
These guys are one of the few tech death bands that can write a memorable catchy song
Used to. Shits too cookie cutter now
@@ILikeSkulls666 shit isnt even tech death
Try listening to Archspire, they have some pretty memorable hooks for a band that technical and fast
4:39 That is the face of a man who really totally like literally enjoyed the process of creating this new album.
Curious to see who the future ex-members are this time around.
I think that one is the guitar guy from Deadborn and the bass player from Our Ocean (the bald one that play in Cynic)
It don't matter. Its always awesome no matter who is in the line up.
It does matter@@MFRIITIIR
@@FSATA fuuuck this bassist is a BEAST, I was sure I knew him from somewhere
@@MFRIITIIR Yeah maan!!!
I guess those riffs are what Christian Münzner is refering to. I wonder if Steffen Kummerer actually wrote anything good in Obscura's discography.
Woke up to this because it was a ad. Boy did I jump outta bed to find this song. 🔥
0:30 I close my eyes
And sink within myself
Relive the gift of precious memories
Just as I was feeling happy that Obscura have been back in studio with Chris Müenzner and Thesseling, I came to know that they're now not a part of the band anymore. This song in particular excites me, though the aforementioned personell's absence upsets me.
Chatgpt?
Total bot
Wasn’t expecting a new Obscura album
Judging by this single it's probably not going to be very good.
We all have our own opinion
@lashedandscorned nothing will compare cosmogensis and omnivium. However, they still manage to create pretty good music.
Producer: How highlighted do you want to bass to be?
Obscura: Yes
Which is a good thing!
@@primushimself604 its good when its hearable but this is overpowering the guitar riffs and the eq is odd sounds so tinny..
@@SirPraiseSun Tbh I agree. The production on this song is bad. I hope the whole album isn't mixed like this.
You're listening on TH-cam which is shit quality. If you've ever bought a CD you'd know all TH-cam videos sound nothing like what the artist actually wants you to hear@@SirPraiseSun
It sounds like farts
Putting such a generic ai output into a music video always seemed like something that should be below Obscura, videos for Mortification and Emergent Evolution had an epic sci-fi look, this here is just Instagram trending ai videos from a year ago
99 % of metal videos is just a band playing in a space and it's lame dude. I'll take some ai videos in the mix.
@@humansareweak701 Gotta get that B-roll somewhere lol. Even though I also think AI can look so bland, it's better than "fast vintage cars & cool sunglasses" like When Stars Collide, lol.
I agree with this. Why not just get rid of the AI shit and only keep the band playing? There's no point to run AI.
@@Metalton95hey. That music video slapped. I never expected obscura to go that route and I'm glad they did
unexpectedly and pleasantly
Steffen trying to be a modern day Chuck and have a new lineup for each album lol solid single regardless.
You kid, but I think you're cooking here... 🍳
Yeah and most people didn't care. But now Steffen does and it's an act of war crime nearly.
he already is
Only thing is i don't recall Chuck ever stealing riffs from his band mates after they left
Wait, what? Where is David Diepold? What a shame!
Once again…Obscura yet again had another Exodus
At least it's James Stewart who's a legend behind the kit but ye I had the same reaction
Je connais Obscura depuis des années mais je les écoute vraiment depuis quelques jours...et c'est tout simplement incroyable. Toutes ces années perdues sans les écouter. Je vais donc les voir à Toulouse en février et j'espère les rencontrer ❤🤘
2:06 4 fingers on one hand and 5 on the other? Mega disappointed with the videos heavy reliance on AI
just accept the new world
@bangdomarkin I'm not anti-AI, but when it's used as a shortcut which is still full of errors it just takes the love out of artistic processes, let humans do art, let AI do your boring admin
Monotonia i kibel
Stary skład i muzyka ... To było Tooo !
Should have just been a performance type music video without the AI slop
Exactly, I wish there was a way we could convince them to release a version of this video with just the band performing...
hot take but I don't mind the AI art at all
@@kauecano Hot take but you suck lol
Steffan is getting rinsed for plagiarising work from former bandmates, seems ripping off artists is just his schtick now.
@@lt3880 could you point me towards an article or some sources on that?
Good song, lame A.I.
I think the song is weak and I think the AI is weak forsure. 😂 I'm not understanding the use of AI in metal. Regular artists literally just look better and fit the aura of metal..
@uroboric Animators? 🤣🤣🤣 Bro its called just shoot a god damn music video. Its just more authentic. I dont care about some A.I. generated alien chick with cum hovering around her in space with a skull and boinic shit. I just dont care.
@@fleshpitdm The price my friend, the price ^^
@@GothiqueGame Get a fuckin job..
@GothiqueGame That aint breaking any type of bank honestly. Not if ur an adult..
I love it, can't wait to see them again next month!!
Can bands please not use A.I. slop for their videos?
They can, when you buy they record, so they'll have money. Ez😉
@@dovlassaturnus7805 bruh, these people have the money, this is a choice and a very ugly one
Brother these days it's cheaper than paying actors, props etc. I feel you it takes away from the true art.
Even when they have the money, they’ll opt for this generative crap. Because it’s likely the label’s decision. And it leaves them more money. Having that made without AI would be very expensive - but then, of course, it would be coherent and make some sense. Remember when filmmakers „discovered“ high frame rates? Every second video consisted of 5 seconds of action slowed down to a crawl. Also cheap. And also boring. Like those glitching repetitions of the same prompt in succession. It will pass, people are already sick of this
At least the palette of the band could Match the imagery. But not even that. Holy crap
Bring back Jeroen Paul Thesseling🙏
100 💯% perfect Metal. Genau richtig zum Feierabend. Thanks a lot.
3 days straight, I'm clicking on this video!
I'd never talk shit about Obscura, but god damn it this new sound isn't doing it for me at all
I still think Omnivium and Diluvium are peak Obscura
When Hannes left the band it was all she wrote
A valediction was amazing, and this new song sounds amazing too. So yes you are talking s*it about obscura
@@heresjohnny999stop riding there dick. This song is uninspired and the mixing sounds like a demo
I love all of Obscura's stuff, but I'd be lying if I said this was their strongest song.
I like everything Obscura, but Steffen is so sloppy on this song. He is missing notes in the outro! How is nobody noticing?
I'm a lucky duck for being in this era of Metal 🤘
Great song…fuck this AI garbage though. They don’t add anything to this otherwise nicely filmed video.
Saving money to survive, always more.. as the bands dont sell albums and venue take 20% of the merch....and it's just the beginning...of the end
@@roromohoIt's been like that for years.
Bro I didn’t even know ai was used until you mentioned it. Either way, nobody cares
@@bobjenks8642 I have to agree. Sad reality.
Hell yeeee
Tune sounds great and James Stewart on drums is the man.
Gentleman, you didn't have to go this damn hard... but you did anyway and that's important. May the God's Blegh you good Sirs.
How is nobody talking about The fact that this sounds like they went through time back to 1995 and grabbed Thomas Lindberg and that is secretly why at the gates really broke up and brought him to the future to record vocals for this.
This sounds so insanely much like a techie version of at the gates, and I am all for it.
I even asked my wife who does this sound like? And she goes Thomas Lindberg.
This is absolutely stellar.
Yea I love Obscura because their guitar work sounded so much like Gothenburg sound, I really love In Flames & they're really is Melotechdeath Metal haha
He has been doing these demonic screeching vocals for a long time, doesn't sound much different to previous albums, maybe that is why.... hes has been doing them a long time thoough obviously not as long as Thomas... Obscura have been making albums for a while though, if you like this check out their catalogue its amazing.... definitely one of the more melodic tech death bands while still stayin heavy and tech...
@@AK_Death_Metal I don’t think they always sounded this much like them though. First show I ever worked in 2009 was Obscura opening for cannibal corpse. Great show.
Kind of a nitpick, but it's spelled Tomas. Other than that, I agree.
ONLY THE DEAD ARE SMILINGGGG
I miss their old sound
Same, I miss their progressiveness.
@@JaysenDubois22 well... "which" old sound?
@@lrglucas97Probably around Cosmogenesis next to Akroasis, and Diluvium era. But just wish! this is only a single.
@@lrglucas97 From Cosmogenesis to Akroasis.
@@Adrianiq1551 Exactly mate !
OH hell yes
Good stuff
oh man... using generative AI in music video feels like it's in bad taste. the song is solid tho
I don’t like ai much but saying it’s in bad taste is ridiculous
How so? It’s definitely shitty to use AI that steals others artwork
@@derekknapp3668How is that any different from a human's influence on others? Do people go around thinking they don't have an organic supercomputer in their heads called a brain?
This song boutta get me through 2025
Song is great. Video is AI generated garbage.
Hell yeah
❤
higashikata josuke
i know linuz, sebastian and rafael leave obscura because they want to release upgraded version of "diluvium" album, now we know how complex diluvium is. we know the difference between "dilluvium" in the hand of steffen and rafael, personally i choose diluvium by obscura rather than obsidious because sometimes complexity gone too much and just impress the professors and not all of music listeners are professors. keep up the good work Steffen!
Yeah, but steffen alone is a terrible songwriter and every song sounds the same.
The magic of obscura always was in the other musicians that steffen had around him
True. When it comes to the direction of the band, he's stated before that he doesn't want overly polished music and that it's more about the live performance and the human touch. I'm certainly not someone who's in the business of telling people how they should write their music. As long as he enjoys what he's doing, that's all that matters.
@@misterpiggsy8561the irony of him pushing for human performance whilst having a half ai music video 😬
@@MonopteraMusic Sure. The reason could be a symbolic one, rather than just utilizing Ai for the sake of it. As it fits the concept.
@@justin.hombach spot on
After reading some comments, i know again why i leave the Metalscene years ago. Line ups changes after years, yes, thats the way professional music careers are dynamic sometimes. You guys are so terrible simple minded and don't know how much dedication a band like Obscura demands from these musicians.
Uno de los mejores videos y canción de metal que e visto🤘🔥🏅
We never thought that metal would reach these levels, majesty, suena increíblemente poderoso .
Hell yes! Love me some Obscura!
came for the melodeath riffs, left because of the AI
Conratulations Robyn! You keep growing and growing as a musician, I love all you do.
This is like if you took necrophagist and merged it with imagine dragons or some bullshit like that... this band is dead (doesn't mean their old shit isn't still perfection though)
I haven’t this excited by an Obscura track in a long time. So damn good
Always on top of their game… amazing
I hear Christian Muenzner’s riffs but I don’t see Christian Muenzner
Sounds good
Cheers from Mexico 🇲🇽🤟🏼🔥🔥
One of my favorite death metal bands of all time! New album will be pre-ordered on CD soon!
Good music, shit AI made video. Shame.
0:15 is this AI?
yes.
Why does it matter?
Yep they always do
@@bobjenks8642its effortless
James Stewart ftw!
Very nice song from the best band🤸🧘🦋🧚🦅
Heckkk yeahhh!!!! 🤘🏻
Somehow despite wiping out the entire line-up in the most "original" state its been in a while with the previous album, he managed to find some guys who could bring music that fit the band and kept the style intact, I know he's the main writer, but surely the others contribute. Their contribution could make a song horrible if it doesn't fit.
This is very pleasing to see that the sound remains intact, it's still the same band thanks to his Steffen's writing combined with the guys fitting into the band well without the music changing too much. Couldn't care less for the music video, but the song is nothing short of great.
Now if only Steffen would remember that he has fans in Sweden that want to see his band live...
4:53 minutes of adrenaline!!!
I just love Obscura, all their albums with each lineup is a masterpiece, one after the other.
Steffen is a complete musician, he can play tech death and even put melancholic melodies and nostalgic lyrics at the same time, I can already feel all the power of the next album.
AI is strong with this one
Como on guys, are those AI shots?
AI is a medium and a tool, just like a camera
@@codhcod4949You're an idiot if you believe that.
@@codhcod4949 and not to mention a huge lack of creativity and makes me respect the art even less!
AI is objectively wack. No one who likes art should like AI
@@mkilver9You mean “subjectively”
This guy changes his band members like socks.
new members every album,so fresh lol
Thanks for posting the lyrics in the description!
Definitely a step-up from previous album's pace 🤘 looking forward to this one 🤘
Wow poderoso, melódico y lleno de oscuridad 🤩 me encanta 🤟🔥 super hypeado por el nuevo álbum. Sigan adelante chicos 🔥
Oh nice to see Robin from Exovious on the Bass, so clean bass player, Great new song, I mean, whatever line up, new people is Top professional , so I expect again a massive brutal technical album, Thanks Obscura !!
Shit is that who that is? Exivious was such a talented band
yes, but just the bass is missing. On the Cosmogenesis bass was better.
Yeeeeeeeeees obscuraaaaa!!!!! 🤟❤️🤟
Po prostu dobry kawałek ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊
WHAT A MASTERPIECE!! 🤘🏻🔥
Obscura is not music. Its a journey!
Sounding more melodic and is still very technical. Love it!👏🤘🤘
Großartig 👏🤘
Got to meet Stephen when we opened for them in Indianapolis back in 2021/22. Very kind individual! Obscura is sweet and been huge fan ever since!
As long as you’re not in a band with him it seems you’re good
It's so cool ✨ The sound is also great. I like this kind of song that isn't a blast beat.
Жду альбом. Наслаждение это слышать).
NEW OBSCURA?!? HELL YEAH!
DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW LONG THIS BAND HAD BEEN AROUND? I'm 42 and they're one of my Favorites 😊
Why does an awesome tech band like Obscura attract weird comments on TH-cam? Just take a look at some of them
Damn, this band's past member list is starting to look like The Faceless.
A VALEDICTION (2021)
A SONICATION (2025)
I think for the next 2 Albums there will be the similar title haha concept album until 2030
No I think only the next one. If I remember correctly it‘s supposed to be a three-album concept cycle.
@@kukquakk4716 yes I just read the caption haha, I thought it would be another 4 concept album but it's confirmed Trilogy so maybe next album will be called A Revelation 😄
JE COMPREND RIEN AU MORCEAU,CELUI QUI TROUVE LA mélodie GAGNE UN FILET GARNIE
Love it… the main riff is really cool and brings me to another world
AI sucks, please stop using it. It is lazy at best
Profile pic perfectly complimentary.
😱😱😱😱🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
At first I was really bummed out not seeing my boys Jeroen and Chris, but this definitely sounds like the Obscura I love - with a new fresh touch 😉🤘🏽
Those who didn't come from Tik Tok are allowed to like this comment
lol why'd people come from tiktok?
Genuine question btw. Never used tiktok ever.
Don't care... Dislike
Tiktok know about obscura? That's a suprise to me lol
I'll sell my soul before I download that garbage ass app!🤘
Explain
ROBIN!!!! WOOOWWW
Bardzo dobrze brzmią .pozdrowienia z Polski🔥🖤🤘
Solid song but leave out the thieving AI vomit next time
One of the best German metal bands! Gutted to see Alex leave though!
Мощщно🔥😎
Мне очень понравился A Valediction,а дело было в присутствии Мюнцнера и Тесселинга,данный трек хоть и хороший,но сразу слышно,что в группе их больше нет...AI генерацию вообще не стоило добавлять,проще было оставить играющих музыкантов,а то она ничего кроме кринжа не вызывало)
I’d say it’s safe to call them the Megadeth of tech death metal.
I'm not down with the AI shots. But the song was solid even though the production sounds very thin and tinny. Obscura hardly ever misses even with the rotating bandmember door.
A heart beats to the rhythm of personal belief.
Excelente trabajo el de esta banda, agregada a mi repertorio de metal. Saludos
Obscura, amazing as usual.
