The Flesh And The Power It Holds (Death Cover)

Genre- Technical Melodic Death Metal

Obscura is primed and ready to drop another release on the metal world already, only this time it comes in the form of a compilation containing demos from 2003/2006 as well as unreleased tracks from the 'Omnivium' sessions in 2011. Man, that Christian Muenzner is one busy dude. This is the first thing they've leaked so far from those 2011 tracks. Here we have a pretty sweet cover of a great Death song from their 1998 album 'The Sound of Perseverance'. The track quality is only 256kbs for now, if I can find a better one at some point before the album drops, I'll try to update the post. Enjoy this shit, and please guys, buy this album when it comes out. Actually, make it a point to buy a lot of CDs this year if you can. Some of these bands really deserve it.

Obscura

Cosmogenesis (2009)

Genre- Technical/Progressive Death Metal

Germany's Obscura plays a super fast, ultra technical breed of death metal on this album. The musicianship here is almost second to none, and this album was one of my favorites of 2009. Pounding tech riffs, inhuman drumming, audible jazzy bass lines and harsh low-end vocals all come together to blast the listener. Although it should be apparent upon sampling, fans of the mighty Necrophagist should be aware that Obscura features the outstanding musical talents of both Hannes Grossmann, and Christian Muenzner. This is a must listen.
