      "Tom Geldschlager is a consistent and incredible musician who is much more talented than the members of Obscura. All of his guitar work made Akroasis the great album it is. I am a giant baby shit who is jealous of Tom's ability so I talk shit about him online like a child. I am the immature one. Not Tom."

    I was attending a small Beyond Creation concert and when I looked to my left I saw all the members of Obscura just chilling and enjoying the music, they weren't even playing a show that night. I even was able to have a chat with everyone and they were super chill it was one if not the best concert experience I had so far :)

      @Perez777_t 9 років тому +52

      Look I appreciate death and love everything about Human Lack of comprehension especially. But when Paul and Sean left I thought they were ehh. I just think majority of the things Obscura released is next level as far as musicianship live shows and sound. And I also think Cynic is 10x better than death but that is my opinion, I'm not saying death is terrible in comparison but Cynic also hits me as far as musicianship and song writing and seans drumming is fantastic.

    • @mrdeathamore
      @mrdeathamore 9 років тому +32

      Adrian Perez Death and Cynic by far my favorite bands, but hey, they are DIFFERENT, too much different. I agree that Sean is fantastic, and Human is sick, but their next works just so much better in terms of songwriting. Symbolic is icon of Death's songwriting, yes, it's not death metal, but still.

    Obscura's bass is what finally made me purchase my bass guitar. It is inspiring to see bands like Obscura, Necrophagist, and Animals As Leaders play the way they do and the bass guitar is practically a stand alone instrument with its own unique sound! I hope one day to play just as well as these musicians do :)

    This is so glorious, really...Godly perfect musicians they are! Can't stop listening to this song and the teaser. 3:32 to 3:58 gives me goosebumbs it's like that bittersweet part builds up til the clear guitar end. On 3:50 the bass is really hearable, for me that is one of the climaxes of the song because it gives such a intense feel.

    • @carloscarranza5987
      @carloscarranza5987 9 років тому +2

      Well, Spawn is just in the same spot where Beyond are, but I must admit Spawn is even more complex. In my opinión Beyond are more progressive while Spawn are more technical but with their obvious prog influences. Gorod are both of them! I really liked their most recent album.

    • @mrdeathamore
      @mrdeathamore 9 років тому +1

      +Carlos Carranza In my opinion, Spawn of Possession is simply has no opponents in technical death metal (and even in extreme metal) at all. I mean, yes, Beyond Creation are great, a solid band that delivers a decent material (honestly Aura is a lot more enjoyable than their last), Gorod is just great, their recent album is not as heavy as A Perfect Absolution, but very musical, which is good. But still, Spawn of Possession is one of a kind, Bryssling is a genius beyond the words. What about this song... This song is weak. Too weak.

    • @carloscarranza5987
      @carloscarranza5987 9 років тому

      Although Obscura is commonly credited as technical progressive death metal I wouldn't call this progressive. After having listened to this song for about 10 times I can say it ends up being boring except for the incredible solos which were composed by Fountainhead.

    • @marcosimard9997
      @marcosimard9997 9 років тому +4

      +G. Reis Uh... no they didn't. Check out Fountainhead's Facebook page. He bashes the new guy for incorrectly synchronizing his fingers to the solos and on the same post Linus comments that "This is my favorite solo from you (Fountainhead) on this album". And Obscura stated the following on their Facebook page "Tom Geldschläger was part of this album, and we are very thankful for his contributions. We didn't mention him on the teaser, because we wanted to present our new guitarist (new song material, new artwork, new lineup), but of course he is mentioned & credited on the album as made public prior to announcing the new album." So... his parts are still on the album.

    They lifted the metal pedal a little compared to the older stuff, it's much more towards melodic metal at times but those guys are plain and simply virtuosos and despite being very young, they can evolve and still sound like Obscura. It takes a lot to hook me to a band, and those guys got me hooked big time.

    • @MarcAndreLevesque
      @MarcAndreLevesque 9 років тому +1

      +Karloz H Now that you mention it I agree. However, Obscura's bassist smokes Dark Tranquility's one, I don't even know where to begin to compare. And live, what you hear on the album is what you get live with Obscura, if you tell me the record in one take in the studio I will believe you. Definitely not the case with Dark Tranquility.

    As fountainhead has said that this guitar solo is actually a tribute to Chrisitian Muenzner, he did absolute justice. Heavenly solo.

    I feel like I should just put this out there for newcomers that are blown away by the guitar and sweeps…the man in the video is Rafael(?) and he was pretty new to the band and still learning mastering this solo when the video was made. The man who played and wrote on the album but was soon “kicked out” after the album was completed due to infighting with the vocalist/bands founder Steffen, is Tom Fountainhead Geldschläger. And his work on this album is brilliant and his song should be sung as often as possible.

    I'm surprised, really, at how incredible this song is considering the seious lineup change. Plus even though the guitarist in the video didn't compose this solo and I don't think he performed it on record either, he seems very capable of playing it. Well done, I'm glad I don't have to worry about the future of obscura as much anymore.

    As strange as it may sound, some of these harmonies remind me of Deafheaven. Must be the clean 7th chords + reverb + blast beats. And some Cynic too, especially 3:50. Love the song anyway though.

      Yes, popular music basically means anything that's not classical (including Jazz) whereas pop means dumbed-down, commercialised music-lite.

    I had listen to this video since it's first appearance, nearly every day. I really like this song, a masterpiece. I expect the album being at same or upper level. Seriously, after Hannes Grossman and Staphan Mueller split from the band, i had really suspicious doubt about what will happen to Obscura. I can feel theses guys did an amazing job on this album just by this video. I hope they will read this: I'm really looking forward to buy Akroasis. If it's a no filler and top the song in this video, so it will be a Masterpiece. And if so, it will be a welcome come back from the band and and a surpsing one from a near new lineup. Please continue to feed our ears with epic technical musicness!
