German Progressive Death Metallers Obscura have officially been signed to Nuclear Blast Records, with plans for a new record on the horizon. The band’s founder Steffen Kummerer says of the news, “Partnering with the world’s biggest independent metal label feels like the start of a new chapter for Obscura and we are very much looking forward to a great collaboration and to releasing our forthcoming sixth studio album with a great team at our side”, while Jaap Wagemaker of Nuclear Blast states, “…We have long admired the artistry of German progressive death metal masters Obscura. We were blown away by their musical 4-album-cycle that started with Cosmogenesis and ended with Diluvium complete with all the band’s signature elements plus groundbreaking polyrhythms, dramatic songwriting, and jaw-dropping virtuosity! We knew that Obscura has the potential to become one of the leading forces in progressive death metal worldwide, so when the opportunity came to work with them, there was no room for second thoughts. We at Nuclear Blast are very curious to see where Obscura’s musical journey beyond Diluvium will bring them. If you are a fan of progressive metal, you should definitely check out this band!” Obscura is set to tour their most recent album, Diluvium, across Europe in early 2020, with support from God Dethroned, Thulcandra, and Fractal Universe.
