OBSCURA
release third single & video
from their upcoming album
‘DEVOURED USURPER’

The virtuosos of OBSCURA strike again with a third single, taken from the upcoming album A Valediction, which is set to be released on November 19th through Nuclear Blast Records.
This time they reveal the probably most brutal and darkest track from the album – ‘Devoured Usurper’.
Band leader Steffen Kummerer comments: “Merciless, moldered and putrid alike – “Devoured Usurper” showcases a crude abrasive side to shake some bodies at live shows in the near future. With utterly brutality the song depaints an inevitable reckoning and underlines the death metal roots of Obscura.”
And once again the band worked with Mirko Witzki on the video, who also produced ‘Solaris’, ‘A Valediction’ and previous videos for OBSCURA.
Steffen reveals: “We recorded the music video at famous Stress Studio in Graz, Austria, where also drums for the new album have been tracked. We prepare our live shows and assemble parts of our production in this unique environment before we embark on upcoming tours.”

OBSCURA wrote, recorded, and finalized A Valediction during the pandemic. The stipulations of working during this time allowed OBSCURA to work cross-country, tracking each respective part—drums, guitar, and bass—in national studios across The Netherlands, Austria, and Germany. Once the pieces were completed, the recordings were shipped off to award-winning producer Fredrik Nordström and Studio Fredman (In Flames, Architects) in Gothenburg, Sweden, where Kummerer and Münzner completed vocals and acoustic guitars using custom-built ENGL amps. Nordström was also tapped to mix and master. The final result is a deeper, heavier, yet more rounded production.
A Valediction will be available in several formats and is now finally up for pre-order and pre-save HERE (Local physical will be available)
The album, graced by a cover artwork painted by internationally renowned artist Eliran Kantor, will consist of 11 new studio tracks
