This is the best song on the album. I've listened to this song over 150 times. You're an amazing guitarist and solo writer. I find this song perfect balance of morbid angel and cynic.
Classical guitar players use that also in many guitar pieces, believe it or not its more efficient and easier than using 1 2 3 4 fingering some times, I myself use that 1 index fingering, just not that fast lmao. I think cuz its supposed index finger is the strongest after the thumb.
I saw obscura live in march of this year in Helsinki and Rafael played the whole show FLAWLESSLY! Every note of every solo and riff, no mistakes. Was blown away, he is on another level!
This really gives me some Michael Romeo "The Dark Chapter" vibes and I mean that as a serious compliment. You're definitely a new favorite guitarist of mine!
Word on the street is Steffen is incredibly hard to work with. He owns the band name and the rest of the band all left at the same time, or were kicked out, who knows. No one ever gets the real story in these situations, gotta play amicably online to not hurt the brand image
Now that it's announced that Christian is coming back on guitar, I wonder if Steffen was going to force Rafael out simply because Christian wanted to come back, and the rest of the band wasn't having it and decided to leave with him and form their own project. Purely speculation of course
@@DingusMcBrungus Sounds like an educated guess, you know what, it sucks that these rumors exists about Steffen but I feel like a lot of great music will come out of that split. Im stupid excited at the idea of hearing Sebastian Rafael and Linus on a new project but I'm also stoked to see David Diepold with the band (w/ Christian and Paul ofcourse). Hopefully everyone has their ego in check and new music comes out that's true to their respective author.
@@DingusMcBrungus Now that's not the case. Sebastian, Rafael and Linus left only because of musical differences. No band fights. And definitely not Steffen being an asshole once again. They just wanted to.
@@warrenoids "left only because of musical differences" lol, that's the go-to social media explanation for band members leaving when you don't want to actually expose fans to the real reasons. It's almost always inner turmoil
Obscura has some of the worst guitar writing in history. The first minute and 15 seconds of this song is absolutely horrible, and takes away from the moderately appealing guitar solos and riffs.
that string skipping section melody: beautiful.

1 ethereal skies 2 mortification of the vulgar sun 3 ekyprosis 4 emergent evolution 5 clandestine stars 6 epilogue to infinity 7 diluvium
1 mortification 2 epilogue. Imo
I can also hear Black Metal in this track.
Just noticed that single index finger ascending run at 4:56! Crazy, haven't come across that before with such precision.
My favorite part of the whole song; I keep coming back for it. This guy is a machine!

That Kiesel guitar cries...
Xtraordinary performance by Rafael Trujillo ♪
I just love everything about this video! The tapping, the shredding, the sound I could go on all day about this.
deine Kiesel-Gitarren sind der Wahnsinn! Das Lick ab 01:17 taugt mir am meisten.
Rafael you are the big boss ! Nice my friend ! 🙏🙏🙏♥️♥️♥️
Ok, who disliked this 😂
Whyyyyyyy
Its like the guy who farted in the elevator!
Right?
Maybe a german, singer and leader from a technical death metal group that always acts like an ex-girlfriend with the ex-members of his group.

Rafa, sebas and linus such as dynamics trio
This was my favorite song on the album, it smokes.
Beautiful 😍❣️
What wood is that fretboard?
birdseye maple :)
@@rafaeltrujillo_official nice👌
@rafaeltrujillo I wanted to ask you your opinion on multiscale guitars?
I don't see you playing them and I've heard they are better for your hands.
Clandestine stars PLEASE!
this playthrough makes me realize even more about how well this song is written
Hi rafael, Didn't obscure remove your diluvium play through?
I was using it to learn the parts of your song.
I don’t know. I think they removed all Playthroughs from me on their channel.
I guess I’ll reupload it on mine then…
@@rafaeltrujillo_official Man ,thank you Rafael, I have messaged you before and well,your awesome, a fantastic player!
Yeah,upload it!
If you could play through it guitar only,that would be so awesome.
Did you write it?
So sad sorry to hear that. You can go on time and effort heals.
Awesome , what string do you use ?
DR Strings DDT for that tuning
4:56 ⁉︎
wtff
Whats happening in 4.57? Very sick 😀
Hell yeah
please make us tab for 01:17 PLEASEEE !!!
How about you learn it by ear and by the actual close up view of his hands you lazy f***?
@@BigDig90 chill bruh
No chill
@@BigDig90 lol gtfo
Good god.😮
Nice, beautiful.
Siiiiiiiick!
Sehr cool!
TABS PLEASE
Ethereal Skies please
Yaptı yaptı
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Nice hoodie, you skate man?
What bad ass playing. Criminally underrated. This guy should be more popular than Slash.
Couldn't agree more.
That level of popularity isn't needed or desired by any musician of this caliber
Wait, ex-Obscura?
What is the name of his new band?
@ILGustavo Thanks. Looking forward to it.
All I can say it subscribed and what is that pillow dealy-o resting on your leg? Looks like it gets you more torque
It's just to keep the guitar in place better while playing.
Josh excellence play solo
You see thats the right way to use an 8 string guitar
Sounds clean man . What string gauges are you using for A standard?
Thanks! I use the DDT 7-11 set from DR for that tuning.
@@rafaeltrujillo_official cheers man
not bad at all ;)
Wdym not bad at all...
@@yassyt1790 nothing! this guy is amazing
The man is a robot...
Kummerer isn't the brightest, is he?
Hiring Rafael Trujillo after Christian Muenzner seems smart to me,
@@yvng_rvin Christian is back again.
why "ex"?
Waiting new project bro
Ex-obscura... thats fucked up, u did the band best album and now you are gone..
ex-obscura ?? ...ouch ..
How dare you not playing Bass ? oh wait
Ex-obscura ?...
all 3 members (except steffen ofc) left the band to form their own band
idk if the stainless steel fret will live enough with this kind of playing :( #prayforthestainlessteelfrets
What do you mean?
@@gej300v he's melting'em
4:03 \m/
Man leaves obscura THEN starts posting tons of content under ex-obscura lmao mans wild. Great content tho all of it
Am I the only one who thinks he looks like Stevie T ?
No your not the Only one
When nerds took extreme metal?? Wtf metal is ignorance!!!
