    This is the re-uploaded version of my bass playthrough of the title track of Obscura's album "Akroasis" (originally uploaded on December 2016).
    In March 2022 Steffen Kummerer wrote an email to our old label asking them to delete the playthrough videos of his old band mates. This included all guitar playthroughs of Rafael Trujillo and also my bass playthroughs. We were quite suprised when we found out. These videos recieved a lot of feedback and included conversations of fans in the comment section, which had a sentimental value for all of us.
    I won't talk about the moral aspect here as it's not my style to spread negativity, but nevertheless I don't want to accept these actions. This is my work, I don't want to hide my past and I surely don't like to be censored. This is why I upload some videos on my own channel now.
    I also used this opportunity to optimize the visual quality, so I hope you enjoy it :)

    Dude! This bassline is iconic, I am glad you re-uploaded this video, My band opened for Obscura here in Mexico back in 2016 and you were on Akroasis tour, I remember backstage you mistaken my bassist´s bass for your own because it was an identical Ibanez BTB 6 string fretless haha. I rememebr that show the execution was flawless, hope you are well!!!

    One of my favourite things about obscura is the bass. More metal bands need to take influence from your bass playing, it adds a whole new dimension to metal. Too many metal bassists just play alongside rhythm guitar and never add anything extra, THIS is amazing.

    This song was my graduation song during production school, i faced hell to produce a mediocre cover, all my guitarist fucked off at recording time but i was able to play the whole song in a custom 4 string fretless p bass, having the support of my teacher whom backed all my suffering in arrangement, drum transcription and seeing guitarists fall like flies was an amazing thing
