Germany’s progressive death metal masters OBSCURA complete their long-running, four-album conceptual circle with the release of Diluvium (defined as a great oceanic flood), their most evocative, diverse and vibrant release to date. Diluvium is due out July 13th on CD/LP/Digital via Relapse Records.

Watch the official video for “Diluvium” via YouTube HERE and all digital streaming services AT THIS LOCATION. “Diluvium” was directed by Mirko Witzki (Kreator, Blind Guardian, Caliban) and further explores the album’s celestial themes. The band commented further on the concept:

“With the title track of our new album we present you one of the most fast forward and brutal compositions “Diluvium” has to offer. The music video created by German Cinematographer Mirko Witzki shows the first part of a connected story relating to the band’s long running four album cycle.” – Steffen Kummerer

Additionally, OBSCURA will perform at select European festivals this summer including Vienna Metal Meeting, Amsterdam Metal Meeting, Colony Summer Festival and Summer Breeze Open Air. Stay tuned for more tour dates in the near future.

OBSCURA’s fifth studio album Diluvium is due out July 13th on CD/LP/Digital via Relapse Records. Physical packages are available via Relapse.com HERE and Digital Downloads / Streaming Services AT THIS LOCATION.

OBSCURA | 15 Years Anniversary Show – Running Order & More

Obscura | 15 Years Anniversary Show - Ticket„We would like to welcome you as our guests to celebrate the 15th anniversary of both Obscura and Thulcandra in our hometown Landshut. We invited our friends in Deserted Fear and Sektor alongside old band members and friends that supported both bands since the very early days in 2002 and 2003. We prepared a few nostalgic surprises and offer a free meet & greet at 19:30 for everyone.

Since the venue “Alte Kaserne” closes its doors after the show quite immediately, we heavily recommend you to visit Landshut downtown (Altstadt) after the concert to share a drink with us at one of our beloved rock and metal hotspots: Schwarzer Hahn, Ostrich Bar, Vempire, Irish Pub, Rocket Club and Penny Lane. With guests from Singapore to Sweden and in between we are looking forward to celebrate 15 years of heavy music with you.”
