5:57 Jake E. Lee Tribute solo from the mighty BARK AT THE MOON. Cool!
Best Of Metal. It's a beautiful album with a great variety of music while being a relentless tech death.
Death & Obscura-forever!
I feel like this album is a greatest hits of the past two decades of metal, all with that signature Obscura flair.
@You are a sheep 2 decades of metal, as in it takes influences from many different genres/sub-genres of metal from over the past 2 decades. I never said "2 decades of metal doesn't touch this". I get it though, reading is hard, lmao.
@@Spinevoyager I just said something similar, except I would say 3 decades
@You are a sheep Just curious, what are your favourite subgenres?

Christian is just an amazing guitar player who overcame a lot!
That opening for Forsaken, man... I felt like I went to a different realm for the duration it lasted.
"A Valediction" - Full Lyrics
(00:00) 1. Forsaken
We ride on cosmic wings, towards this bitter end
As choir of the fallen, we descend
Revealed in silence, merged sublime
Divined eternity, into oblivion
On astral radiating storms towards the end
A halo moulded in celestial divine
Hymn of the nocturnal
A choral of perdition
Salvation of fate, we are glazed in creed
In aeons, revealed in silence splendorous and bright
Forsaken, a perennial epitaph
Abandoned, a world blazed in cosmic fire eclipsed
Deliverance in shivered flesh
Secluded, sole detached maelstrom infinite
In allegiance we preach the sermon
Perpetual bliss, the nemesis of worlds
In aeons, revealed in silence splendorous and bright
Forsaken, a worthless entity
Dissolving, a convergent form of stars
(07:16) 2. Solaris
I despise this journey through my will
Ordained to sanctify
I devour their dismay
As an astral parasite, decreed to purify
We are, we are the damned and isolated
In solitude disengaged
We are conjured and segregated
In abeyance transcended
I am the fallen shining star
An evoked blazing scar
We derived in solitude
The usurper omniscient in vale
Sere encrusted, we collude
We're nauseated, we descend in faith
I recall their bitter afterglow
Illusions and visions designed
Their eagerness seduced, neurotic fears entranced
Their power of volition deranged
I condemn, comprehend and will deny
Redeem and dignify
I am entranced in scattering light
Divined and reunite
We derive in solitude
The usurper omniscient in vale
We condemn our fate
I remind, recall their bitter afterglow
Illusions and visions designed
Their eagerness seduced, neurotic fears entranced
Their power of volition deranged
I am the fallen shining star
An evoked blazing scar
I am entranced in scattering light
Divine and reunite
Sere encrusted, we collude
We're nauseated, we descend in faith
(10:58) 3. A Valediction
Within our lives, through persistency
Beyond this journey, and continuity
I perceived decay, as an act of volition
In vain endeavor, abandoned in despair
A last farewell, in bright nightshade
When we depart, so pale and fade
Within our lives, though all perseverance
Beyond this odyssey, and pursuance
I perceived decay, as an act of volition
In vain endeavor, abandoned in despair
A last goodbye, beneath the wraith
Our vows refined in vanished faith
We abide in pitch black mass
Deliverance, released in distress
We leave this world and tear apart
We refine in profound bliss
Redemption, the universes final kiss
A last farewell, in bright nightshade
When we depart, so pale and fade
A last goodbye, beneath the wraith
Our vows refined in vanished faith
(14:25) 4. When Stars Collide
Throughout there is no faith, now let us embrace and part
You embark into the cosmic sea
And I am glad, yes glad with all my heart
Eternally, I live free
At our final journey, we cancel all our vows
When we will meet in aeons once again
If only vanity and illusion allow
Once more I will sustain and retain
A last goodbye, we blaze divine
When stars collide, I survive
An endless void, in eternal night
With sacred wings of formless light
Throughout there is no hope, we fear in silent wrath
You pursue the left-hand path
With my will resigned, my passion speechless lies
You disappeared, ablaze the skies
Beyond the stars and endless skies
As a shade you will pass by
I hear you say goodbye
My faith is kneeling, remaining in disguise
While primal innocence is closing-up your eyes
A last goodbye, we blaze divine
When stars collide, I survive
An endless void, in eternal night
With sacred wings of formless light
Beyond the stars and endless skies
As a shade you will pass by
I hear you say goodbye
Beyond the stars and endless skies
As a shade you will pass by
I hear you say goodbye
(19:33) 5. In Unity
Voiceless demise
we disperse in grief and pain
Gone our past, forgotten, vanished at last
relieved, appeased in faith
Our stars align, septic, fouled divine
as fatalist, as nihilist I disappear
Arise, condemn, and liberate our might
conjure eternal sight
Alive and vivid we evoke eternal light
infinity, heavenly and bright
In unity, in sanctity evolved unbound
In purity, in decency emerged profound
In an age of enlightenment, our final confession made
a spiritual odyssey, this eternal journey begun
We leave, we leave this shattered earth
in misery, we forsake this forlorn place
We leave, we leave this perished world
in agony, we resign and fall from grace
(24:21) 6. Devoured Usurper
A devoured usurper repents
His confession to survive
Entranced betrayer, eviscerated and immured
The progeny of traitors just ends
I overcome distress and
I can confess
I defeat emptiness
And refuse despair, in misery I swear
I will not suppress and
I will repossess
I won't regress
Inflamed, this universe
An enslaved perception descends
In shattered pieces paralyzed
In his holiness a coward sanctifies
As a false pretender, an odious hypocrite
A faithless deceiver, annihilated and deceased
In treachery their silence amends
I overcome distress and
I can confess
I defeat emptiness
And refuse despair, in misery I swear
I will not suppress and
I will repossess
I won't regress
Inflamed, this universe
As dissembler, arrant liar, unfold
I obtain, and I prevail
I recreate, and I dominate
I pervade, and I control
I radiate, and enshrine your rotting soul
In his holiness a coward sanctifies
As a false pretender, an odious hypocrite
A devoured usurper repents
His confession to survive
I overcome distress and
I can confess
I defeat emptiness
And refuse despair, in misery I swear
I will not suppress and
I will repossess
I won't regress
Inflamed, this universe
I overcome distress and
I can confess
I defeat emptiness
And refuse despair, in misery I swear
I will not suppress and
I will repossess
I won't regress
Inflamed, this universe
(29:51) 7. The Beyond
Their heir apparent with a shining crown
In reviled disgrace, our gods dethroned
I confess my guilt, with volition I will drown
My grief profound, in oblivion intoned
Farewell, beyond this heaven and hell
Farewell, where your lies and remains will dwell
In eternal wisdom, they are blessed with fate
In mere dishonor, since annihilated
I perceived distress, my perseverancе dissipates
Embraced in triumph, resplеndence divined
Farewell, beyond this heaven and hell
Farewell, where your lies and remains will dwell
Their heir apparent with a shining crown
In reviled disgrace, our gods dethroned
I confess my guilt, with volition I will drown
My grief profound, in oblivion intoned
Farewell, beyond this heaven and hell
Farewell, where your lies and remains will dwell
(33:41) 8. Orbital Elements II
Guitar goes Brrrrr...
(37:42) 9. The Neuromancer
I ought to go
In wisdom, you will rot
In delusive prudence sought
I strove towards untold
In cognition I behold
Lost in reverie, mesmerized I drown
Unsealed, adopted creed despoiled
In vain revealed, raised fear unsoiled
Neuromancer, obsessed, unseen, remote-controlled
We are addicted, overdosed in creed
Our freedom of faith
Worthless science and meaningless greed
We are the sainted ones
The failed survivors paced into abyss
I need to leave in rigor consciousness
In deceptive freedom of thought
I vowed to comprehend
In gnoses, I ascend
The final elegy, entranced I disappear
Unsealed, adopted creed despoiled
In vain revealed, raised fear unsoiled
We are addicted, overdosed in creed
Neuromancer, obsessed, unseen, remote-controlled
We are addicted, overdosed in creed
Our freedom of faith
Worthless science and meaningless greed
(42:24) 10. In Adversity
Maelstrom calls and I will fade away
our hopes dissolve in human clay
When tribulation scores and your beliefs escape
my faith will dwell in eclectic shape
Above the sky, beyond the stars
just let me fly, embraced with scars
Into the void, with fire faith destroyed,
the dying of the light, in pale dismal night
We are the damned, we are enslaved
We are the cursed, enforced in vain
We are the doomed, we are constrained
We are the spoiled, in grief and pain
My downfall calls, and I pursue my way
we stay the course in slow decay
When adversity occurs and your eyes ablaze
my wish remained in confusing maze
(46:33) 11. Heritage
Within demise, I rise and fall
In profound abyss and I surrender
Down and below, I dwell in rapture
Shrouded in misery until I fade
I fall from grace
I ascend in light
As a solar eclipse
Above and below, I drowned in gloom
An everlasting bloom, the final dawn of inner strife
An immersed enigma, has come to pass
Engrossed contender, a pitch-black mass
Consumed by twilight, emerging blackness
Veiled in agony, herewith I fade
I fall from grace
I ascend in light
As a solar eclipse
Above and below, I drowned in gloom
An everlasting bloom, the final dawn of inner strife
In spiritual abyss, a burden of untold
Devoured, dissolved, in esperance unfold
I fall from grace
I ascend in light
As a solar eclipse
Above and below, I drowned in gloom
An everlasting bloom, the final dawn of inner strife
Above and below, I drowned in gloom
An everlasting bloom, the final dawn of inner strife
Production-wise probably Obsucra's best release, killer album!
Killer krunch , cosmic production , superb.
Beautiful
Had the same thing with the band Inferi. I had to write a 15 page essay (I chose 'Lovecraft's influence on pop culture' as a topic) and used their EP "... of Sunless Realms" as an example (wrote about 8 pages about them)
@@uglypineapple03 man that was an awesome album by inferi
yeah the dystopian african islamic sharia future of France really fits the music
I'd read this story!
@@rorke6092 it's dystopian for post-modern european mind tho; also I do have information that high islamic leaders will erase all the marginal element of african islamic "ultras" as soon as muslims will take the reins of government, so they will bring to life an ancient thing of south-european caliphate, which was present in the early middle-ages. It won't be a reign of chaos, it won't be a reign of european white people too tho.
This album is amazing, my favorite of Obscura's repertoire yet
When Stars Collide, LOVE IT!
The solo from Forsaken feels like I've discovered Fermented Offal Discharge, the sequel. I recently picked up on Obscura again, was blown away by Diluvium, and decided to give this a listen to. Right out of the gates, Forsaken is an absolute MASTERPIECE. No one with even an ounce of knowledge regarding music theory can deny just how well written this music is.
This album randomly played while I was working today, 1st thing that struck me was that solo. 1st section is similar in ways to fermented, sounds almost identical as a section of tempest by Vinnie Moore, and the mid section is almost note for note, from the Ozzy song Bark at the moon, and it is awesome.
Love the neoclassical elements and a bunch of solos, this is one of my favourites from obscura
Precise music. Fast, accurate, perfect. What else to say? This is Obscura, the one and only.
Album of the year. No doubt.
Loved it! Gets back in touch with some of the gothenburg-style riffing that kept earlier material grounded, while still in dialogue with the prog-odysseys of recent years. The production is clear but still crunchy, with a really pristine tone dialed in for soloing.
Modern production done right! Finally an album that doesnt sound like everything else. Natural sound, good dynamic range, bass guitar sound is perfect, just the right amount of guitar distortion...
Obscura still nailing it ! Every single song they made since Cosmogenesis is an absolute masterpiece. Best tech death band for me.
Absolutely stunning album.
top tier
My god. Fill my soul with this album.
Hands down to one of the best Albums of the 2021!
Te quiero mucho Obscura, gran banda 🤟
Going straight into my top 3 fav metal bands, along Fleshgod Apocalypse and Dimmu Borgir.
My favorite album of 2021
I want to thank hellripper to be the band that got me into listening complete metal albums again and Dean Lamb for talking about obscura in one of his videos, diluvium blew my mind and what I've listened of this album so far (just the first song) is... sublime I should say.
Obscura never clicked with me UP to that point. This album is phenomenal. I totaly missed it when it released due to first fragment but oh my is this great. So glad to Hear jeroen again. The album is much more melodic

Obscura Rules 🤘🏻🤘🏻
De los mejores álbumes que dejó el 2021
These guys are so good, the more I listen to it the more I pick out. So many crushing changes and metal accents, very technical and melodic. Great job Obscura!
Time to crank it up, excellent work 🤘😁🤘

Perfektes Album. Ihr könnt stolz auf euch sein!

Безумно прекраснейший альбом👍👍🔥🔥
The Neuromancer Solo at 39:56 aaaaaaaaaaarrrrrggggg
This is a classic killer death metal album. Compliments to the chef(s) 🤘
My new favorite Obscura album. The guitar work is insane!
as it is on Omnivium, Akroasis and Diluvium.
La vera perfezione 🖤
Pretty good
Excellent album, with one of the best bass players in the style. To my taste I stay with the sound of the album Akroasis. of course it is always a pleasure to listen to their music and I hope to come soon to South America especially CHILE!!
Obscura in Chile would be a toa' raja!
a fucking MASTERPIECE! omg, I have eargasms every time I hear this song...
Guitar masterpiece. Seems to have more of a Lindberg flare on the vocals. Obscura rules.
I found this record in NESI Vinyl Online Shop , so glad that now I'm hearing pure tech-death, best album of 2022!
Amazing album one of my favourite with cosomogenesis. However their discography is flawless!🤘
Just bought my tickets for March 8 in Detroit Michigan. I cannot wait to see these guys live.
I'm going tonight, they in VA!!
Love the nod to Randy Rhoads (Mr. Crowley if my memory serves me right) at 5:57, this album is amazing
It’s Bark at the Moon. 🙂
Jake lee no randy
Legends
6:00 bark at the moon homage
Wonderful complicated manifold technical melodic death metal partly in the vein of At the Gates 😉 Seriously Amazing Album 🤩 . Truly gifted musicians made this music 👏🎶🎶🎶👏👏👏
Killer!
cy tomorrow with Persefone and disillusion guys ! Obscura rlz ! cant wait ! my third time !!
I remember listening to this for the first time. I was disappointed when I first heard soft vocals in this and didn't like the album that much. Then I gave it another try a couple weeks later. I've been enjoying the album to this day.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
40:26 Some Gorod's Disavow your God vibes. I like it very much!
REAL OBSCURA!
Блин, сделали бы по возможности стрим!) Формата вопрос-ответ
When in Italy 🇮🇹 🤘?? I can't wait

Thanks Obscura to show us the way🤘😎🤘
Bark at the Moon！！

MIT Persefone und Disillusion

DISCAZO COMO TODOS.....
thought it was Tompa on the vocals at first. Awesome btw
Can you travel to the US for a tour?
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I feel that The Beyond would be a Helloween song if they played Technical Death Metal
First riff in Solaris is so like Darkane's Secondary Effects
WOW album like all the others
5:58 - 6:10 Bark at the Moon Solo?
ive listened to solaris intro a total of 1000 times
❤
5:57 onwards...Bark at the moon??
Mantul
43:24 Raining blood?
Almost forgot I was listening to this album and thought I was listening to Megadeth at the Neuromancer... it's just that chord progression lmao. Fantastic album.
Sounds like it was done on purpose, like the Bark at the moon lick in the first track
