Progressive/technical death metal masterminds OBSCURA have revealed a third new track from their highly anticipated forthcoming full-length Akroasis! “The Monist” has premiered via MetalSucks.net, and can be streamed HERE.
Another new single from Akróasis, “Sermon Of The Seven Suns”, recently premiered via Loudwire – stream it now AT THIS LOCATION.
You can also watch the first music video from Akróasis for the album’s title track via the Relapse Records YouTube Channel below.
It has been five years since the release of OBSCURA‘s universally acclaimed album Omnivium. 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.
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.
Additionally, OBSCURA will provide direct support in Europe for Death DTA on the “European Thoughts Pattern” tour. The tour kicks off March 24th in Strasbourg, France and runs through April 12th in Riga, Latvia.
