With A Sonication, Germany-based metal band Obscura launch the second of their trilogy concept. 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.

No doubt Obscura’s new stats will amaze, but what they’re focused on is the release of „A Sonication“ and then taking it on the road. Several high-caliber tours of Europe, North America, and Asia are planned through to 2025, with routes are in the works for the band to visit Australia, Latin America, and beyond.
