After the success of their debut single, ‘Silver Linings,’ German metal band OBSCURA is back with ‘Evenfall,’ the second song off their eagerly awaited album ‘A Sonication,’ which Nuclear Blast Records will release on February 7, 2025.
OBSCURA’s continuous development is exemplified by this exceptional track, which skillfully combines their distinctive technical skill with a more melodic approach. The outcome is a brand-new, yet distinctly OBSCURA sound that is sure to intrigue new listeners as well as surprise devoted ones.
A visually stunning music video that captures the intensity and emotion of the song is released alongside it. Mirko Witzki (ARCH ENEMY, POWERWOLF, ESKIMO CALLBOY) created the video once more. OBSCURA’s artistic richness will be highlighted through an immersive audiovisual experience that fans can anticipate.
‘With ‘Evenfall,’ we look into the most anticipated song by the band to perform in a live setting on our upcoming tours, remarks mastermind Steffen Kummerer. The tempo, dynamics, and groove all work flawlessly together. The new album’s pretty cinematic soundscape within the OBSCURA realm is one of my personal highlights.
‘A Sonication’ is the second (and seventh overall) album by Nuclear Blast, and it is a multifaceted album. ‘A Sonication’ is a sophisticated, elegant, and yet refreshing work that elegantly summarizes previous achievements while looking forward with passion and purpose. OBSCURA is well-known among fans and critics for questioning and then extending conventions. The band thrived and achieved great strides from “Retribution” (2004) to “A Valediction” (2021) in a musical genre that was not ready for a creative burst of German ingenuity. “A Sonication” ushers in a new era of extreme metal for OBSCURA.
‘A Sonication’ track listing: 01. Silver Linings 02. Evenfall 03. In Solitude 04. The Prolonging 05. Beyond The Seventh Sun 06. Stardust 07. The Sun Eater 08. A Sonication
In February 2025, a European tour is scheduled to commence. American progressive deathcore band RINGS OF SATURN and French technical death metal force GOROD will tour with OBSCURA. Fans can anticipate a night filled with exciting and varied performances thanks to this multinational roster.
