\nGermany’s OBSCURA has posted a new playthrough video.<\/p>\n
The clip, available HERE<\/a>, features fretless bass virtuoso Linus Klausenitzer shredding his way through the title-track taken from the band\u2019s latest release “Akroasis”.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen I thought to record another playthrough video, I decided for the title track of our new album Akroasis,\u201d Said Linus Klausenitzer. \u201cAs it is a very atmospheric song, the bass lines are probably the easiest one to play on the whole album. This way I hope to motivate people to try playing the song themselves and to pay more attention to phrasing on bass. In this video I play my fretless Ibanez BZB7 that people ask me about very often. I recorded 90% of the album with this bass.\u201d Now, five years since the release of the band’s universally-acclaimed 2011 release ‘Omnivium,’ the progressive metal masters are poised to return with their strongest and most dynamic release to date. The aptly-named ‘Akr\u00f3asis’ (Greek for “hearing” or “listening”) draws on all the various elements of OBSCURA’s signature sound and combines those qualities into a cohesive and mind-blowing whole. Produced by the band and V. Santura (Triptykon, Pestilence), ‘Akr\u00f3asis’ is eight songs diverse enough to serve as a near-comprehensive introduction to all of extreme metal. Packed to the gills with virtuosic musicianship, compelling themes, and airtight songwriting, ‘Akr\u00f3asis’ will undoubtedly breathe new life into death metal, progressive metal and beyond.

\nFounded in 2002 by guitarist\/vocalist Steffen Kummerer, German progressive death metal band OBSCURA caused a stir when they – out of nowhere – toured as support for the legendary Suffocation on the band’s European tour in 2006 and independently released their debut album ‘Retribution’ that same year. From its very beginnings, the has band (named after Gorguts’ inimitable 1993 full-length) demonstrated an uncanny ability for blending different forms of technical, cerebral metal into a coherent synthesis of death, thrash and black metal merged with progressive elements.<\/p>\n
