Christian is having a total "Return of the King" moment and I'm here for it.
Same here 😆
@@mariovazquez5850 🤟🏻
Didn't Christian say in an interview that he's a power metal guy at heart despite being associated with death metal? I think he's having a blast with this track here.
@@ha-tsuneko yup, but he is undoubtely one of the BEST death metal guitarist. He has been in necrophagist and spawn of possesion, and doing guest solos in fallujah, gorod and a lot more. So yes, he is a power metal guitarist but he is versatile as fuck
@@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.
Kummerer is a genius.
ikr this song reminds me Unleash The Archer
Agree
Yeah 100%, such a dynamic album. This lineup is crazy too.
@@1c3m1lo I get that vibe too, and I love UTA so it works for me 😎
Therapist: "don't worry, happy Obscura doesn't exist, they can't harm you"
Happy Obscura:
Looool 😂😂😂😂
I'm in this meme and i dont like it
It's not happy Obscura, it's Obsura full of SWAG!
Best Carnifex album besides, Until I feel Nothing, and Graveside Confessions
😂😂
The best car commercial ever.
And the best part in the video 😂🤘
The cars make them so much American! 🤣.......
🤣
What's on my mind.
Best song to drive over the speed limit to!!🤘🏼🖤🤘🏼😅
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...
Check eternities end , or his solo albums of you havent already!
I highly can recommend Eternitys End :D
@@justin.hombach well i would hope so :P would be weird if you didnt
Man this is fun it’s the most melodic they’ve been since Cosmogenesis. This gives me Incarnated vibes. Love how they continue to experiment with each album.
Incarnated is one of my favorite songs by and from Obscura.
@@metallibrarycollectionsnew2406 classic Obscura track
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.
I never thought I'd get Dragonforce vibes from Obscura, but when that harmonies hit at 4:12 I had to find a lighter just to hold it up while I headbanged
When Hammerfall’s ‘Hearts on Fire’ becomes “Hair on Fire”
Same!
It’s Bjorn ‘Speed’ Strid, from Soilwork, doing clean vocals here
the same from disarmonia mundi!?!?!? AWESOME!!!
Is it?! It doesn't sound like him
@@MastersApprentices oh yes, it does. one of the most distinguishable voices in metal!
@@MastersApprentices Wat? He's pretty much impossible to miss. Nobody really sounds like him.
I don't think it's him, but this voice tone sounds similar to Bjorn on a few notes
That little Diepold feature at 1:41 was awesome! Love the overall experimentation so far in this album! Clean vocals fit in well too!
That's an awesome addition of David Diebold on the drums. Congrats. Sick song
Diepold faces in this are fucking legendary
@@Skepsis710 if you're missing Sebastian, Trujillo, and Linus, they have a new band together called Obsidious. Their album hasn't come out yet, but the singles sound fantastic. Check them out.
@@Skepsis710 yeah i just found it 2 weeks ago. Expecting big things from that band.
@@Skepsis710 I personally think that David is playing exactly what this song needs. Having seen a lot from David I can assure you that he's capable of a lot more if necessary.
The most melodic, least dark sound from Obscura. And it's a good thing. Something totally different from the band right after Devoured Usurper.
Sick.
Christian's absolutely amazing lead playing is what makes this song.
Why does that riff at 00:42 only show up there in the song? That riff IS EVERYTHING!! BRING IT BACK!!!
Totally agree.
seriously. I don't play guitar and it sounds like a blast to play.
Christian is absolutely crushing it. So awesome to hear.
still waiting for bass solos
Yeah 😔
The new First Fragment should have you covered lol
@@CaptnShred 🍻
I wish he was mixed louder. Ie CosmoGenesis
@@Kahnklingon84, I agree. The bass tone is great.
ニューアルバム買いました🤘
素晴らしいアルバム✨
また日本でライブが観たい👍
The most Melodeath Obscura song ever
It's the whole record. Starting to guess what the musical differences were.
@@PhilCreswell No shot. Devoured usurper isn't even close to melodeath and Solaris is more in line with regular tech death.
a valediction is more melodeath imho
The guitar-duo "solo" reminded me of Cacophony. Pretty cool.
That was probably the most 80s-ish tech-death I've ever heard AND seen (and I mean it in a positive way) - fast cars, clean singing, anthemic hooks...The only thing missing is a girl on top of one these cars. :D
Lol..
We are in the 21st century. Feminists would cancel them for being "sexist".
You've gotta check out Alkaloid's "Kernel Panic"
@@brunoheleno6312 I love Alkaloid! Both albums are amazing. :D
You know they were considering the girls...😉
The cleans just kind of came out of no where
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.
I was trying to think what this reminded me of! Scar Symmetry! God I miss Scar Symmetry!
@@jeffreydean7556 yessss. Very SS-ish. Still waiting on their Singularity Pt.2 album which feels like it's been delayed into limbo. 😑
@@motopolak I can't think of an album I've waited longer for, lol. The last one was so fucking good.
@@motopolak They recently replied to one of their FB comments saying that the album is recorded, they're just having issues working out a release date with the label.
@@seanbester1465 Well heck, you made my day! Knowing that, I can now wait patiently haha
Wow that was unlike anything Obscura has released, really good stuff!
Ikr
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.
Freakin love Obscura. Just amazing talent. Been a huge fan of their work for many years. Transcendental Serenade, Orbital Elements, Akroasis, An Epilogue To infinity, Emergent Evolution. All next level.
Holy smokes. This might be one of the best Obscura song's I've heard (right next to Prismal Dawn) Awesome track!! Definitely my favorite so far from this 4 singles.
Ayy, another Prismal Dawn fan. That song is out of this world.
Just discovered Obscura this past year by far my new favorite band listening to all albums nonstop for months.🤘🏼 can't wait to the next one already!
I did not expect a mainline german technical death metal band to do this, but im happy they did.
Classic cars and metal! My two favourite things in the world in one video 😍 AWESOME
What about bacon?
@@gft1913 that's for the next video
big sunglasses
fast cars
clean vocals
that's it guys, Steffen went full "cool band" mode
Don't get me wrong, I love these guys and I know Steffen for more than 10 years now... but for "full cool band mode" they have to hang the instruments much deeper especially Jeroen ;-)
@@florian_metalgandalf umm no
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... How wrong they are 🤣, this solo has feeling, technique... All of the members of the band are awesome, but Chris is a "virtuoso". Thanks again for such an amazing song 🤘🤘🤘
That lick is the most Christian Munzner sounding lick out of all Chriatian Munzner licks that sound like Christian Munzner
Those people need to check out "for the love of God." by Steve Vai because he puts in so much feel in that song.
hope they all get along, because this lineup is 🔥🔥
I thought so too until they released this flaming garbage
@@HECKyesGaming lol
El final de la cancion tiene un feeling increible!
Definitely the best solos on the album
at this point these guys are just having fun recording videos, as well as music, and i love every bit of it
Love that bass tone popping out. Hard to achieve in this type of music.
Glam'n'roll Technical Death Metal...who would've thought?
Literally cried at 1:04
This album is beyond Death Metal
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.
Yeah... germans!
Our most anticipated album to listen to scince years!
Well done guys we really loved this! ☄️
Hey Guys! Watch my cover aproach to the baroque leak from Christian Muenzner!
ruclips.net/video/bzQKfU2MDb8/видео.html ☄️
Where is Sebbie
Se pronostican fuertes tormentas de arena por lo melódico del tema. Van a salir los metaleros rancios a decir que Obscura ahora es una mierda, que ya no son metal sino pop jajaja... Sin importar que los 3 temas anteriores destruyeron craneos.
Yo pensé que iba a pasar lo mismo pero leo los comentarios y a todo el mundo Le encanto la canción. Nunca me Imagine ver una colaboracion entre obscura y soilwork 😮
@@ptakleo dales tiempo xD
Some At the Gates sounds here!!!!!! Awesome
Beyond the staaaaaars!!!
The very first time I hear anything from this band. Instantly HOOKED!!
Some great power metal in this one. Muenzner at work.
Legend...David diepold...🤘👽👍
Love this direction. Going for the melodic angle without sacrificing technicality. Its just a great banger.
This sounds very swedish. And I'm totally into it. I love swedish Death Metal 🤘🏻
I had no idea Freddie Mercury could blast beat so clean!
November 19 can't come around soon enough.
🧐🤗
🔥🤘🤘🤘🔥
For 5:13 minutes I thought I was back in the early 2000s Gothenburg metal scene!
hell yeah this is so fresh. glad to see not just Christian back in the band, but that he's still playing guitar (:
This is the most rock'n roll technical death metal song I've listened to.....I love it
One of the most perfect metal songs ever.
Will this man ever find a lineup he likes and stick with it lol.
Yet another excellent song from these dudes. The melody is a great contradiction to the metal - love this. 🤘🤘🙂🙂👍👍
So amazing I love how ever album has a different type of sound but is still Obscura
It sounds like modern melodic death but it's Obscura!
I found this band about a month ago. I wish I had found them way earlier but, better late than never. I'm totally hooked and been listening to all their albums. Such a kick ass band!! 🤘😝🤘
What's your favourite album by them so far? I think it's really hard to choose between the last 4
These guys are ridiculous and amazing. Just as impressive live. 🤘🤘🤘
First time: Haha Diepold happy face
Tenth time: BEYOND THE SKYYY!!!
Confetti .....now that's brutal,
opening sounds like Gates of Ishtar. very nice
That is a strange and wonderful departure from their usual music. It is a mixure of Obscura, touch of COB, and epic power metal mixed in.
What a masterpiece of an album !
I didn't expect the song to end that way, but it was greatly done...
Hail Obscura 🤘
It makes me so happy that Christian is back in Obscura. I cannot even explain how happy it's made me! xD
Arsis vibes I love it
i was thinking to myself "this kinda sounds like Soilwork"... and then BJORN STRID STARTS SINGING. wtf?!
Love the drums
This is the weirdest thing I've ever seen In tech death.
Aliens!!!
They doing it all this time round.
i hear harmonized guitar riffs.. i click a like button
So melodic and I love it!!!
You never disappoint me, congratulations!!!
This album will be awesome 🤘🤘🤘
Power Death Metal 🤘🏻
wow freddie Mercury en la bateria, buena rola !!!
Damn! Obscure The Gates!! I never remember them being this melodic.
Man those solos are just amazing, I wish they'd showcase they melodic talent more often.
1:04 sweep the floor, daddy! +2:45
2:18 I bet this chorus is gonna fill the comment section..
3:28 (MAIN SOLO) -awesome harmonies, phenomenal solo once again, Christian!!!
lucky bastard it premieres in 23 hours for me
also hi again lol
@@lashedandscorned Hehe they forgot to put the link on "premiere", so for 10 minutes we could listen to it - I still haven't refreshed that tab ;)
And hi again! Glad you fancy Obliveon as well :)
You can listen to it on Spotify
@@obi-wannabekennotbi2418 are the 3 of us gonna chase each other forever on RUclips, until only one remains on high ground?
(And yes, singles & albums are often released on midnight of the date they are designated for release - in the case of Spotify 😃)
So I've listened to this song, and I'd say it's pretty fucking good.
Although, I can't help but feel kind of disappointed that we haven't gotten anything that sounds Cosmogenesis or Omnivium-ish.
But I guess we'll have to wait for full album release to see that.
that's some sick genre bending
02:50 Look at that swag
Obscura see the light first time with this nice song. Best song from new album until now.
Solaris
Every single you guys drop is better than the last...CANNOT WAIT for the full album 😍😍
Hearing the eternity’s end in this one.
Blinded by fear 😨
Well damn. That was fan-fucking-tastic boys.
Wait wait wait, clean vocals without a weird alien/robot filter? Obscura has taken things to new level!
😅 no Noospheres for you?
@@Kahnklingon84 oh haha no I absolutely love Noospheres, just feels like a big step for the band
Clean singing happens
me: "WHAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW!?"
EDIT: SO i came back after hearing this song on the album in context and absolutely freaking out, losing my mind and loving the clean singing. so good choice, Impressive switch up. When stars collide indeed!
Maestral, melodic, perfect. Steffen and Christian sound sooooooooo good and I'm so glad Muenzner is back. Solos are sick!🖤🤘
At the gates style! 🔥🖤
Amazing! Clearly Christian went for some eternity's end stuff here
I'm kinda sad this went into obscura... would love to play those riffs live 😅😂
@@justin.hombach ffs Justin 😂
@@justin.hombach I'm sure there's plenty on "Embers" to satiate that.😉
@@justin.hombach hahahahaha
Nooo the song can`t end with a fade out, but what a great track. Beautiful.
This part at the end pricked my ears I thought love the clean vocals.
It's time to "Melo Power Technical Death Metal" 👀🔥
Fast cars, fast guitars, fast Metal ! Obscura rules 🤘
when solaris was released I was too much disappointed the way they would headed to but, now I think I got used to the sound bit by bit and love the new obscura sound. I love when this kind of changes happen, the changes I get used to it:).
I agree.
But at the same time I'm kind of disappointed since I want that old Cosmogenesis/Omnivum sound to come back.
Although, it's probably better to wait until album release before complaining lol.
Those solos the lead guitarist plays sound so perfect it almost sound like midi.
We need another song like this those cleans are so dope
These guys are harnessing some major At The Gates power here. I love it!
MEEEDLEEEMEEE!!!!
I can hear already more melodic approach than their regular stuff , thats nice, but clean vocals? Was not expecting that :D
Loving that new obscura sound!
