Diluvium was recorded with longtime producer V. Santura (Triptykon, Pestilence) at Woodshed Studios in Landshut, Germany. The album is set for a Summer 2018 release via Relapse Records.<\/p>\n<p>Some special contributors were involved with the making of Diluvium including Linus Klausenitzer&#8217;s father, Prof. Ulf Klausenitzer, who has worked previously as a violinist and conductor with renowned musicians Arvo P\u00e4rt, Karl-Heinz Stockhausen, Mikis Theodorakis, Daniel Barenboim, Christian Thielemann, Pierre Boulez and many more.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Jonas Baumgartl, a founding member of Obscura, who was a key member of the band between 2002 and 2007 returned to take part in the Diluvium sessions on cello. Jonas recorded drums and cello on the band&#8217;s first and only demo Illegimitation, as well as their debut full-length Retribution.<\/p>\n<p>Vocalist \/ guitarist Steffen Kummerer commented on the new album:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our new album &#8216;Diluvium&#8217; finally marks the end of Obscura&#8217;s four album circle we started around ten years ago when we wrote &#8216;Cosmogenesis&#8217;, followed by &#8216;Omnivium&#8217; and &#8216;Akroasis&#8217; in recent years. With Rafael Trujillo, Linus Klausenitzer, Sebastian Lanser and myself participating as equal songwriting contributors, the record turned out diverse, progressive and colorful in every possible way. We can&#8217;t wait to share the final piece of this long running four-album-concept with you and look forward to the album release along with extensive touring throughout 2018.&#8221;<br \/>\n<br \/>\nSource: Lambgoat<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/RealmOfObscura\/\"><br \/>https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/RealmOfObscura\/<\/a><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Technical death metal act OBSCURA have completed their fifth full-length album entitled Diluvium.
