OBSCURA: Complete 'Omnivium' Recording

OBSCURA: Complete 'Omnivium' Recording, Reveal Track Listing

OBSCURA has recently completed work on their brand new album Omnivium and has revealed its track listing as: "Septuagint", "Vortex Omnivium", "Ocean Gateways", "Euclidean Elements", "Prismal Dawn", "Celestial Spheres", "Velocity", "A Transcendental Serenade", and "Aevum". Omnivium was recorded at Woodshed Studio in southern Germany with engineer V. Santura (TRIPTYKON, DARK FORTRESS) and is expected to see a March 2011 release date. Additional album details will be announced shortly.

OBSCURA drummer Hannes Grossman commented on recording Omnivium; "The recording process was intense and time-consuming, but it brought us many steps forward as musicians both individually and collectively. The songs are still catchy, but there are more epic parts involved, as well as faster and more melodic songs. The extremes of the band's sound extend on all sides, so to say. Expect some things which have never been done before like this in Death Metal!"

Additionally, Grossman is working on his first instructional drum DVD titled "Progressive Concepts for the Modern Metal Drummer". The DVD will feature different chapters about hand/foot techniques, blast beats, advanced double bass drumming, rhythmic modulations, and song and performance tutorials.

Grossman commented on his forthcoming DVD; "After the recordings for OBSCURA's new album I decided to start filming because the energy of the recording process was still valid. The final motivation came from Nile-drummer George Kollias, with whom we toured in Japan. Thanks again, Bro'! Of course the DVD will not only feature solo and song performances, but also very deep advice about the things that I use, like finger control technique, hybrid techniques, advanced foot technique or odd-time signatures."

OBSCURA has been confirmed for the Mass Deathtruction Festival in Belgium, and Bang Your Head Festival in Luxembourg taking place this December. A listing of dates and cities can be found below with more to be announced soon.

Yeah I thought you might enjoy this piece of news.

^Oh I have plenty of that. I sometimes put on some good old death metal when driving my son to his kindergarden in the morning before going to work. He loves sitting with the album covers ( not Carcass type covers). He says "�hhh hvor er det sejt, jeg vil h�re "hebeee". indoktrination from the very beginning of a childs life is important if you wanna see results.

r�n�b you poor soul. It�s one of the few things I can�t stand either. My wife likes both pop ( Rasmus Seebach is the favorite at the moment) and harder rock music like Metallica, AC/ DC and especially Guns�n�Roses. She had a giiiiiiiiiiaaaaaaant crush on Axel back in the day. She even owns a small collection of picture vinyls.
