OBSCURA BE NIMBLE, OBSCURA BE QUICK

 Monday, June 1st, 2009 at 10:49am by

It’s, like, way early to be talking about “Best of ’09″ lists already, but ’09 is actually almost half-way through (wtf???) and I’d gander that Obscura’s excellent tech-death shred fest Cosmogenesis is gonna end up on more than a couple of year-end lists, including that of yours truly.

Check out this quality footage of Obscura shredding it up at the Neurotic Deathfest in The Netherlands this past weekend [sent in by Tim F.]. Ridiculous! We were super-bummed that the band’s MetalSucks-sponsored U.S. tour had to be cut short before it hit New York, but here’s to hoping they’ll come back soon.

    Nice to see that these guys can hold it down live. And yeah, they’ll probably be on my top 10 list at the end of the year.

    I’m sorry, I hate Obscura.

    obscura is good, but every time i listen to them i just end up putting on Arsis on after a song or two. everything obscura does well, Jim Malone et al. do better. jamming some gorod right now though and i can see them finding some space in the tech death listening sessions; they’ve got a kind of btbam vibe that i’m diggin (this song at least).

      Gorod’s new album is fan-fucking-tastic.

  • CYN1C

    Damn, that performance was tasty!

    Cosmogenesis is a good tech death album. GOOD. It’s a mediocre entry into a technically proficient genre. I don’t know what that means, I’ve had about infinity Mike’s Hard Lemonade[s].
