    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

    Obscura are very good musicians and they have creativity. Their guitar solos are not just random playing, but very good constructed melodic lines. Many Heavy Metal bands sound generic and boring, but Obscura have their own original sound.

  • @patrolmostwanted
    @patrolmostwanted 8 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    "Carbon-based life" - is it a Cynic reference? :D
    After many listens the track seems to be quite interesting. It sounds very different from what I heard on Omnivium but with such major line-up changes it was unavoidable, I think. Though it doesn't mean it's worse - not in the slightest. It's simply different. The riff in the beginning is pretty straight-forward but the guitar sweeps that come after it are very catchy. Linus also does an outstanding job on the bass - and it's very audible in the mix which is great! I like these chords played over the insane blast beats too, they create sort of an ambient atmosphere, very Obscur-ish :)
    As for now, I'll be waiting for the rest of the tracks to show up on YT. I'm curious about this epic, long-as-fuck track with a string section and lots of counterpoint in it. Have you guys ever considered playing with an orchestra or simply creating orchestral arrangements of some of your tracks? Now that'd be insane!

    • @asafabraham
      @asafabraham 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +patrolmostwanted I don't think it's a reference. The lyrics in this song are better than that. To be clear, I mean better than being referential, not better than Cynic. This song is unreal. Never thought Obscura could be as good as the last two albums, but it looks like I was wrong.

    It sounds good so far and enough like Obscura, and I hate to be the one to say it, but I don't feel like it's going to top Cosmogenesis or Omnivium. I've listened to the entire album teaser, and now this full song. They're good, but they seem to be lacking something. Also, the drummer is good, but sadly doesn't seem to fill the shoes of Hannes Grossmann. One other thing, I hope the final production is of the caliber of those two albums, as I feel like those two have some of the best productions in the technical death metal genre. I hope I'm wrong about all this when I buy the full album, but regardless, I'll still enjoy it.
