It has been five years since the release of OBSCURA‘s universally acclaimed Omnivium album. Now the progressive metal masters return with their strongest and most dynamic release to date. The aptly named Akróasis (Greek for “hearing” or “listening”) draws on all the various elements of OBSCURA‘ssignature sound and combines those qualities into a cohesive and mind-blowing whole. The band has just shared a new track, “Sermon Of The Seven Suns”, via Loudwire – stream it HERE.
You can also watch the first music video from Akróasis for the album’s title track via the Relapse Records YouTube Channel below!
Produced by the band and V. Santura (Triptykon, Pestilence), Akróasis is eight songs diverse enough to serve as a near-comprehensive introduction to all of extreme metal. Packed to the gills with virtuosic musicianship, compelling themes, and airtight songwriting, Akróasis will undoubtedly breathe new life into death metal, progressive metal and beyond.
Akróasis will be released February 5, 2016 via Relapse Records. The album will be available in CD, 2xLP and Digital download. Physical pre-orders for Akróasis are available HERE and digital pre-orders can be found HERE.
