Obscura unleash 'Evenfall' music video; new album 'A Sonication' out next month

With the new album 'A Sonication', Germany-based metal band Obscura launch the second of their trilogy concept, set to be released on February 7th, 2025, via Nuclear Blast.

Track listing:
1. Silver Linings
2. Evenfall
3. In Solitude
4. The Prolonging
5. Beyond the Seventh Sun
6. Stardust
7. The Sun Eater
8. A Sonication

The group's second (seventh overall) album for Nuclear Blast pivots on many fronts. Advanced, elegant, and yet refreshing, 'A Sonication' sums up past endeavors effortlessly as it gazes with purpose and conviction into the future. Obscura are fan-renowned and critically acclaimed for challenging and then expanding upon norms. From 'Retribution' (2004) through 'A Valediction' (2021), the band flourished and made significant progress in a musical genre unprepared for a creative shot of German invention. 'A Sonication' spearheads Obscura into a new era of extreme metal.

Frontman Steffen Kummerer shared the following: "With 'Evenfall' we look into the most anticipated song by the band to perform in a live setting on our upcoming tours. The dynamics, groove and pace falls perfectly into place. One of my personal highlights of the new album, showcasing a rather cinematic sound scape within the Obscura universe."

Earlier, the band released the first music video, 'Silver Linings'. Mr. Kummerer commented: "With 'Silver Linings' we present you the first track of our brand new album 'A Sonication', which sees the light of day in early 2025. Supporting the new record, Obscura will embark on the first leg of a world tour in February next year. Lend your ear to the music, and see you at a venue near you!"

'A Sonication' will be released on CD, 12" vinyl (gold vinyl; "starlight" vinyl), and digital formats.
