Poslech od poslechu je to lahodnější. Technicky tomu opět není co vytknout, jinak zdá se mi, že kluci se snažili vměstnat více atmosférična a daří se jim to. Taky ty čisté vokály se mi zamlouvají. BTW jak na předchozím opusu skláněli hold Death, ve trojce se sklání tentokrát mistrům chorobnosti - Morbid Angel, ale mě tyto citace vůbec neva, Obscura to totiž dělají s gustem a navíc do toho šroubují svoje prvky. Výsledek je skvělý. Opět je to pestré a opět výborné.

Tak oni už mají náhradu. Jmenuje se Linus Klausenitzer. Hrál kdysi v death/thrashových NONEUCLID a power metalových FALLACY. Tyto kapely mi nic neříkají , takže pro mně zatím velký otazník
U mě asi taky ne, ale spíš než kvalitou je to určitě způsobené tím, že jsem "Cosmogenesis" slyšel jako první a mám v živé paměti, jak mě to tehdy dokonale sejmulo. "Omnivium" pak jenom stvrdil formu a taky díky tomu je Obscura momentálně mou nejoblíbenější techdeath bandou.
Christian Muenzner a Hannes Grossmann opustili kapelu.

OBSCURA: drummer and guitarist quit
According to their official website, drummer Hannes Grossmann and guitarist Christian Muenzner leave German prog Death Metal band OBSCURA.
Muenzner speaks out: "My decision to step down from my position as the lead guitar player in Obscura after more than 6 years was not an easy one, but even though it may come unexpected for the majority of fans, it is something I have been contemplating for the last couple of years. There is no bad blood between me and any of the other members of the band. However, I just want to devote the biggest part of the time that I have to work on my own music and visions. Doing this, I just can't invest the bulk of my time into the band, because a band operating at the level of Obscura does not work as a an additional thing or even a 'hobby'. It demands a lot of time and availability, but I I know that if my heart is not fully into the music anymore it is not true to myself, my bandmates or to the fans, and I have always believed that solely the fact that a band is successful or that people expect you to play a certain style of music are not enough of a reason to do it. A second crucial factor in my decision was that I am still dealing with a neurologic condition in my fretting hand called Focal Dystonia, which almost took the ability to play guitar away from me completely by late 2011/early 2012. Even though I regained most of my chops by now through re-training and Botox therapy, the condition is still there and I have to be very careful not to relapse and undo my progress by putting too much strain on my hand, which is why touring several months on an album cycle with material that brings me to the edge of my technical ability every night is not an option for me anymore in the near future. The slightest chance of recovery or at least further improvement have absolute priority for me in the coming years, as I want to be able to play guitar and release music for much longer. Thus I decided to focus mainly on my teaching career and on writing and recording my own music for now. I will remain very active and you will hear a lot of new music from me in the future.
I still consider all past and present members in Obscura that I played with among my very best friends, and the album recordings and tours we did in the last 6 years are among the greatest memories of my life so far. The band took me all around the world several times and I got to meet thousands of great people and fans. I want to thank all of you for your support, even in the tough times when my condition was at its worst. I do not exclude the possibility of future collaborations with each of the other members and wish the band the best of luck for the future.”
Grossmann speaks out:
"Leaving the band was a difficult choice to make, but it was also a big relief. In the last two years it just became more and more obvious that the musical chemistry between band founder Steffen and me just wasn't right anymore. It's not a personal issue, it's a musical one. For the last two records I contributed a large amount of music, including most of the arrangement work. However this was causing problems, because the band was set up as a collective of songwriters, and so the new record should have been a collective work. In general I also prefer working with other people rather than just doing it on my own. However, my musical vision was going into the direction of songs like 'Aevum' or 'Septuagint', maybe in terms of complexity even further. Steffen's ideas are musically rather in the vein of the Comogenesis album. But I wanted to explore a way different side of Obscura. The catchy 'Anticosmic Overload'-side just doesn't really hook me emotionally. In the end it's hard to explain to an outsider, but our musical taste and vision for the band's future are just incompatible at this point. It even started to affect our personal relationship and I don't think that it's worth sacrificing our friendship for personal issues. That's why I decided to quit the band and record the songs I wrote with my new band ALKALOID."
Due to the mentioned lineup changes recordings for the yet untitled fourth album have to be postponed to the end of 2014. To replace both, Christian Muenzner and Hannes Grossmann, a row of auditions will be launched soon.
Zkráceně a česky: Christian odešel za prvé proto, že se už nestíhá věnovat kapele naplno a nechce jí tím zdržovat a za druhé hlavně kvůli jeho zdravotnímu stavu. Při turné, kdy musí každý večer podat maximální výkon hrozí, že se stav jeho levé ruky zhorší natolik, že už nebude moci hrát vůbec, takže se bude radši věnovat vyučování a vlastnímu projektu, které nejsou tak náročné.
Hannes odešel, protože se už nedokázal hudebně dohodnout se Steffenem. Steffen chce dělat věci jako Anticosmic Overlord a Hannes zase věci jako Septuagint. Svoji další práci bude prezentovat se svou novou kapelou Alkaloid
Je jím SEBASTIAN LANSER. Bubnoval v kapelách Panzerballett, Earforce, Juvaliant a Edenbridge. Hru na bicí vystudoval s vyznamenáním na univerzitě A. Brucknera a objevil se v několika TV a rozhlasových vysíláních.
Obscura - Akroasis Nový materiál, prostřednictvím videoklipu k titulnímu songu Akroasis z chystané čtvrté studiové desky, představují techničtí death metalisté Obscura. Nástupce alba Omnivium z roku 2011, Akróasis, vyjde 5. února 2016.
Knihy jsou vědění. Ve vědění je síla. Síla je energie. Energie je hmota. A hmota zakřivuje prostor. Takový balík knih, to je taková menší černá díra. Kdo se do ní ponoří, je ztracen navěky.
