    I love this album! Obscura is the future of Death Metal!

    No mention of Fountainhead and his ridiculous fretless guitar work on this album, c'mon man, do some research.

    Fretless bass, when's the last time we heard that? - Sean Malone from FUCKING CYNIC!

      JEDIMASTERZAK well, their sexual preferences are none of our businesses. And no, nothing tops Malone

      +Ryan Stucke The song "Earthborn Evolution" has some of the greatest bass work I've ever heard.

      Deathbyblackhole​ yesss!

      Obscura's "Choir of Spirits" is even better and harmonically more complex!

    • @R3tr0v1ru5
      @R3tr0v1ru5 8 років тому

      Benjamin Decker None of Obscura's bass work is as complex as Beyond Creation's.

    • @BanjoSick
      @BanjoSick 8 років тому +1

      ... Jeroen Paul Thessling, most complex metal bassist and former member of Obscura (and Pestilence). Has devided an octave in 70 [or smthg like this] steps after his own fashion and used this in Obscura on the album Cosmogenesis.
      Perhaps the best bass performance in metal history. Of course this is all just my opinion! Beyond Creation are awesome and both Jeroen and Forest are absolutely outstanding musicians.

    I love how you state that it's not for everyone, yet cater to those who it is for. I can tell that you gave the rating based on your opinion yet at the same time made me fell that I will in fact enjoy this album greatly because I am a bit of a tech death nut. Thank you for respecting all forms of metal and being honest with your rating.

    • @marstopia8992
      @marstopia8992 9 років тому +1

      +DeliciousDishes Since there are 2 former and one active members of Obscura it had to be great :P

    • @deliciousdishes4531
      @deliciousdishes4531 9 років тому +2

      Mars Topia yeah I only noticed that after writing my comment haha. Basically the same stuff but with Morean's composition and Tunker added in.

    • @MrAntihumanism
      @MrAntihumanism 9 років тому

      +DeliciousDishes Pretty much. In fact Morean was an influence for Fountainhead writing at least 1 solo. Check out the song "Velocity", thats Morean on the lead.

  • @frederikschulze8218
    @frederikschulze8218 9 років тому +9

    "Weltseele" would literally translate to "worldsoul". Just so you know. Pronounced about like "veltsehlah" if you were to write it in english I think.

    Have you not heard Beyond Creation Sam? If you want some more excellent fretless bass work check them out asap.

    @ThrashTIllDeath555 9 років тому +1

    Obscura is a fantastic band, I think this is some of their best work and thought this album was pretty amazing a really good balance of heavy and melodic. I really enjoy the soloing as well it's not just a bunch of wankery. The fretless bass is awesome as well fits and follows the music with absolute precision. This is going on my top albums of 2016 without a doubt killer record \m/

  • @redbruhcolli

    When is the last time I heard fretless bass? BEYOND CREATION!

    • @Sickdex
      @Sickdex 9 років тому +3

      +Master Puppet I came to say that, Beyond Creation tops the fretless bass scene in death metal.

    • @jamespeterson4275
      @jamespeterson4275 9 років тому

      Obscura did it before them suck it

    • @redbruhcolli
      @redbruhcolli 9 років тому +1

      the question wasn't who did it first, but when did you hear it last time...so suck it!

    No mention of cynic influences with the vocoders... used Gojira as a reference instead. Strange.

    New Obscura now, then new Wormed in March. Great year for death metal so far! "Technical, progressive, precise." Well said.

  • @michaszuty5035
    @michaszuty5035 7 років тому +3

    I hear lots of Cynic influences on this album.... It sounds like their first album mixed with death metal and black metal.
    And I have missed that kind of playing, since I have heard "Focus" for the first time!

    You butchered the name of the album and song name ahaha.
    all you had to do is listen to an interview of the band.... But it is about the music not some title.
    They have also been doing that style of vocals since the first full album, but i understand you are not familiar with the band so I see what you mean.
