A brand new guitar playthrough video of Steffen Kummerer for the song “Septuagint” from progressive metal masters OBSCURA can be streamed below. The track is taken from the band’s album, “Omnivium”, which was released on March 29 2011 via Relapse Records. The album was made available in CD, 2xLP and as a digital download.
Founded in 2002 by Kummerer, OBSCURA caused a stir when it toured as support for the legendary SUFFOCATION on the band’s European tour in 2006 and independently released its debut album, “Retribution”, that same year. From its very beginnings, the band (named after GORGUTS‘ inimitable 1993 full-length) demonstrated an uncanny ability for blending different forms of technical, cerebral metal into a coherent synthesis of death, thrash and black metal merged with progressive elements.
“Omnivium” debuted at #11 on the USA’s Top Heatseekers chart, and at #14 on Germany’s Media Control Newcomer chart. Furthermore, within the first week the album sold 2000 copies the US.

“With BIAS FX as a desktop version a new tool to record riffs and spontaneous ideas on the road crossed my way some time ago. Especially the VST version as an insert within a DAW leaves you mannifold sounds, effects and possibilities to create demos within minutes. Thanks to PositiveGrid & BIAS FX, Obscura’s preproduction sound way closer to final compositions than before.” – Steffen Kummerer
