Relapse Signs Obscura
Apparently Relapse Records are signing death metal bands again as they’ve signed German progressive death metallers Obscura. Here’s the story from Blabbermouth.
Relapse Records has announced the signing of Munich, Germany-based death metallers OBSCURA. The band is currently recording its second full-length album with producer V. Santura (DARK FORTRESS) at The Crypt Studios for an early 2009 release.
Commented OBSCURA guitarist/vocalist Steffan Kummerer: “We are very happy to have found in Relapse a strong partner for the upcoming albums. We think Relapse is one of the best homes for progressive death metal in general and we are looking forward for this longtime cooperation. We are putting the final touches on the mix and mastering for the upcoming album which will see the light in the beginning of next year. OBSCURA are back — stronger than ever!”
The band’s lineup is as follows:
Steffen Kummerer – Guitar, Vocals
Christian Muenzner (ex-NECROPHAGIST) – Guitar
Jeroen Paul Thesseling (ex-PESTILENCE) – Bass
Hannes Grossmann (ex-NECROPHAGIST) – DrumsOBSCURA’s upcoming CD will feature cover art and layout by German artist Timo Wuerz.
You can listen to samples on the band’s MySpace page. Not really doing much for me, but then again I’m not a big prog death fan.
