Obscura昨天宣布新專輯錄製完畢的消息。 這張專輯,根據樂團一哥Steffen宣布,是他們世界觀概念四專輯循環的終點站, 從第一章據說是當時看家鼓手Hanness Grossmann寫了60%的Cosmogenesis, 再來是第二章也是Hanness Grossmann幾乎主導整章專輯走向的Omnivium。 帝三章專輯聽說素材都寫的差不多了, 中間卻經歷了一些上上下下起起伏伏與政治上的不愉快, 差點導致樂團專輯難產, 所以最後導致原吉他手Christian因抱病而掛冠求去(手腕隧道炎), 鼓手兼創意總監Hanness棄船跑去跟Dark Fortress的Morean組了個明星團Alkaloid, 最後剩下的人馬決定從零開始花個半年左右的時間完成寫歌跟錄音, 結果交出一張很讓人痛心的Akroasis, 外加一大堆人事糾紛,樂團從此和Tom Fountainhead分道揚鑣QWQ (心痛的Akroasis) https://webptt.com/m.aspx?n=man/RockMetal/D3FE/D2EB/D9D3/D2D2/M.1503216940.A.8A5.html (Hannes Grossman談離開Obscura的始末) https://webptt.com/m.aspx?n=man/RockMetal/D3FE/DFFE/M.1502606507.A.0C0.html -------------------------------------- 根據Steffen的說法,第四張專輯象徵整個生命故事的終結, 他甚至提到最後一張專輯將是世界的崩壞和終結, "Apocalypse" 專輯名稱喚作Diluvium, 貌似跟第二張專輯Omnivium有那麼一丁點關連, Obscura特別找來了Bass手Linus的老爸Ulf Klausenitzer錄個弦樂, 還有2002~2007年的Obscura前鼓手Jonas Baumgartl錄製大提琴, (他老兄是鼓手和cello手~) 雖然經過了Akroasis的悲劇,讓我對這張專輯有一點點灰心, 不過看他們找了一大群客串, 又大動作大手腳大肆宣傳,2018甚至接了一大堆表演, 感覺Obscura應該是野心勃勃拉 期待一下。 喔對了,他們預計今年夏天發行這張Diluvium~ OBSCURA | Complete New Album; Reveal Album Title Technical death metal masters OBSCURA have completed their fifth full-length album entitled Diluvium. Diluvium was recorded with longtime producer V. Santura (Triptykon, Pestilence) at Woodshed Studios in Landshut, Germany. The album is set for a Summer 2018 release via Relapse Records. Some special contributors were involved with the making of Diluvium including Linus Klausenitzer’s father, Prof. Ulf Klausenitzer, who has worked previously as a violinist and conductor with renowned musicians Arvo Pärt, Karl-Heinz Stockhausen, Mikis Theodorakis, Daniel Barenboim, Christian Thielemann, Pierre Boulez and many more. Additionally, Jonas Baumgartl, a founding member of OBSCURA, who was a key member of the band between 2002 and 2007 returned to take part in the Diluvium sessions on cello. Jonas recorded drums and cello on the band’s first and only demo Illegimitation, as well as their debut full-length Retribution. Vocalist / guitarist Steffen Kummerer commented on the new album: “Our new album ‘Diluvium’ finally marks the end of Obscura’s four album circle we started around ten years ago when we wrote ‘Cosmogenesis’, followed by ‘Omnivium’ and ‘Akroasis’ in recent years. With Rafael Trujillo, Linus Klausenitzer, Sebastian Lanser and myself participating as equal songwriting contributors, the record turned out diverse, progressive and colorful in every possible way. We can’t wait to share the final piece of this long running four-album-concept with you and look forward to the album release along with extensive touring throughout 2018.” OBSCURA is set to begin a busy 2018 touring schedule. From February 1-5, the band will perform at the annual 70000 Tons of Metal with labelmates Exhumed. Later that month, OBSCURA begins their massive European tour with Sepultura, Goatwhore and Fit For An Autopsy. The tour commences on February 23, runs through 26 cities and ends on March 24. In April, the band heads to Japan for an exclusive headline tour (April 12-15). On April 30, OBSCURA celebrates their 15 year anniversary at Alte Kaserne Landshut in Germany. Additionally, the band has announced several festival appearances including Vienna Metal Meeting, Amsterdam Metal Meeting and Summer Breeze Open Air. More tour dates and album info will be announced soon. --
