that harmonics at the end, that fretless guitar solo, that orchestra arrangement.... I've been a fan of Obscura's work since Retribution, but Akróasis just get me, and this song particularly does it for me.
Thank you Tom for give us this masterpiece, is so sad that you aren't part of this now, but your legacy prevails with this work
Tom. Geldschläger.
His Style makes akroasis so unique. A shame we will never see this live since nobody but tom can play this...
9:24 something about that wailing guitar is ultra hypnotic, can't wait to hear this on shrooms now that winter is back
This is one of the most beautiful song I've ever heard, honestly.
Same
Tom Geldschlager's only complete song on the album. Definitely has his touch and is set apart from the other tracks
This track is very Opeth-like. I mean it as a compliment.
Flexprog Is there really any other way to mean that?
Devin Mays
Opeth is sick. Not very many Americans like their musicality but I enjoy it very much.
Akerfeldt is a genius, but he is no Fountainhead.
I hear symphony x vibes too
@@devinmays6737 I'd interpret it as slow / mid-tempo and dragging on for too long, if someone said a band is "Opeth-like".
The transition from the melancholic acoustic guitar into the recurring haunting guitar lead at the end is brilliant.
This is a masterpiece. It takes you on a trip.
This is my favourite song on the album. Incredible.
You and a lot of people mate. And for good reason.
and me too now update lmao. And my favorite song from the band period.
The whole album is amazing but this song definitely has the coolest riffs and chord progressions.
Agreed
Perpetual Infinity and Ten Sepiroth are my other favorites tho
I think perpetual infinity's main riff is the sickest riff on the album in terms of technical death metal and Obscura's sound. But yes I agree that overall this song is easily the most epic and musically profound song on the album. The progressions, the orchestral elements, the heavy riffs, and the arrangement are amazing.
^ Agreeeeed 100%
RobSchneiderIsAStapler I think this is one of the best tracks they've ever done. And not just because im a sucker for long tracks. It has the best fucking riffs and Toms playing is just mindblowing. They'll never top this track again, I'm almost certain. The new album is so ehhh compared to this
@@irockmajorly To me it took forEVER for me to have this opinion but I think it's tied with Centric Flow as my favorite Obscura song ever now.
This is the most chill Death Metal I've ever heard. I can listen to it and really relax and get lost in the music
This is literally classical music played with heavily distorted tuned down instruments. Love it
Far from it. It has neither the complexity and emotional depth nor any interesting key changes, ways of melodic and harmonic development present in classical music. They seem to have forgotten about guitar counterpoint too. It's still generic metal, just slightly more ambitious. The previous albums did pretty much everything better. Lack of Hannes' and Christian's influence on songwriting certainly made matters worse for Obscura.
+patrolmostwanted >generic metal
>obscura
No.
Phillip Cantu Maybe not generic but not as musically interesting as their previous two albums. There are riffs here and there which any other tech-death band could have come up with. It feels very dull.
Btw, if you want something closer to classical music, listen to First Fragment. Obscura has nothing on these guys as for now.
patrolmostwanted first fragment is extremely meh for me. But nah dude, this is probably the most complex track they've done. Yeah, the album as a whole might not be as good as their earlier shit, but this track is so dank.
Masterpiece
+Ocean Gateways i think , this and perpetual infinity are the only songs can be compared to Setpuagint !
+Σελινιασμένοι flamers Perpetual Infinity is a masterpiece as well. I agree
this is beauty. very nice, many prog
That riff at 3:29 and the blast beats at 10:34 are purely awesome, this is probably my favorite track in the album.
Yeah that riff is gorgeous
Yes 3:29 is always in my head
I prefer this part 5:34 - 6:13
Fuck the riff. Fuck the blast beats. Fuck the album.
Donovan Alexander Coming to a video and commenting just to post how much you hate it? That's a funny thought.
I always get goosebumps after that talking-part
As I walk through time and space
Nourished from this holy feast
I tear through cosmic sea
Obtain a universe's farewell kiss
Levitated in unmeasured far
A blissful dream illuminated
Captured in this bright sparkling glitter dome
An enlightened shimmering black chamber
Levitating grand massive comets
Into here and then ascend to rise
A maze built by suns and planets within
To cut through evanescent infinite gravity
Their presence, spirited, edged and alive
A momentum in allegiance, devotion and pride
Evermore supernal emboldened
Transcend sincere desire
From fluid to form, and liquid to life
In barren earth moribund
Suppressed in dreadful contestation
In smoldering, rotten sympathy
Blazed in vast pervade paradise
In surplus, stained resplendence
Broaden, unbundles pursuit of life
In blessed observance combined
Conceive, subsist in gratitude
From each universe echoed
Weltseele A magnitude diaspora
This is next level stuff, wow
You can say that again
+James Peterson This is next level stuff, wow
+Giltindor You can say that again
+Giltindor hawt
OMFG FINALLY SOMEONE FUCKING GETS MY GOOGLE + COVER PHOTO
Time to graduate from deathcore. Necrophagist and obscura are my new favorite bands as of this week.
Easily Obscura's best track ever, they added neoclassical metal influences in the best possible ways all over this! Epic as fuck!
This song changed my life.
Now I feel more useless when playing drums.
Just get better.
@@Terra101wow that was so easy, I have now become Steve Vai, thanks
One of the better prog metal albums ive heard in a long time. love it!
Chuck Schuldiner liked this
I miss him
Praise to the Holy Father.
***** Death is underrated, actually. Much more talented of a band and a frontman than pretty much any other metal band.
+Big Boss Death isn't underrated. Everyone knows them. They influenced pretty much every modern metal band here in CA
Ocean Gateways I beg to differ. Everyone knows Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, etc. Chuck and Death may be well known enough in the death metal scene, but nobody who listens mostly to thrash or whatever really knows them. I think that Chuck should be known and rated as one of the greatest metal musicians ever, and he's definitely not. That's why he and Death are underrated.
That songwriting 😎
This song is an utter freaking masterpiece
11:38
WEEEEHHWOOO
I love this song although I'm not sure if it is my favorite on the album. The Monist, Fractal Dimension, and Perpetual Infinity are also favorites of mine. I like the entire album actually. But this song is great, and Fountainhead and the composer who worked on it did a great job.
Probably Perpetual Infinity for me
Every single second of that song is jizz
They better play it live
+Bob Lamper same
I really still want them to pull this off live somehow -_-
Edit: Nah this is better than Perpetual Infinity and almost all Obscura songs.
The Monist, Ode to the Sun, Ocean Gateways, Mortification of the Vulgar Sun.
This song is incredible! It is the most amazing longest-lasting song I have ever heard, incredible, Kummerer is a genius, long live Obscura!.
Tom fountainhead was the compositor
what an incredible track!
7:49 fucking glory. Love this voice
This is like a five-course banquet in progressive death metal form. Reminds me of BTBAM's 'Parallax II'.
God that album is a fucking classic too as far as I'm concerned.
What a great band...thank you.
Gets me every time. Must be one of the best songs ever written.
How do they make every riff just so perfect
The chilling outro at 14:38 always mesmerizes me
That soft farty bass delivers the best eargasm
Holy fuck 'soft farty bass' absolutely destroyed me.
¡Que chimbaaaaaa! de las mejores canciones que he escuchado de obscura.
una de las mejores bandas de metal de esta generación son grandes me fascina esta canción Obscura rifa
saludos desde México lml
13:36 I cry every time at this part
Best song of 2016, right here.
Either this or Recharging The Void by Vektor. My pick is the latter
Que grandes músicos son estos personajes.
Amazing symphonic track
Awesome!!!
5:35 Could anything be spookier, or more off-kilter? Loving it!
9:55 Sounds like Arabesque! And Whenever I listen to this part i loss myself!
The best song they have ever done and they fire the fretless guitarist 😓
Who wrote the song and most parts of the whole album
@@ladyloreia Exactly. Fountainhead's work with this band was more than groundbreaking, but at least we have new stuff from him like his guests solos, Amogh Symphony's "IV" and a Weltseele 2 in the makings!
@@Nplasma17 when is weltseele 2 coming out?
De mis canciones preferidas de Obscura \,,/
Itzy Zarate ¡Alguien más que habla español!
Que onda que pez! :v
i think i may have experienced egodeath while listening to this in total darkness.. i felt as if i knew each corner of the universe. i found peace within the chaos here
This is the most complex piece of music I've ever heard.
Great song (:
Fountainhead? Genius.
Weltseeleeeeee!!!
This track was like a soundtrack to my feeling when Brussels was attacked by terrorists, first time since I am born that a part of Brussels was bombed. And that after the Paris attack of November 2015 really felt like the end of Europe. I was crying listening to this song when I realized what might have started in Europe. This song is beautiful and haunting especially the part that starts at 5:31
Intro sounds exactly like Ex Nihilo by Dark Tranquillity
yep it does also ! but i thought first "Into the Dead Sky" by at the gates !!!
: )
they definitely couldn't erase Tom's guitarwork and takes from this track, since it's 100% irreplicable.
But they (/Steffen) CAN & will keep copyright claiming his Akroasis covers 🙃
06:13 - 10:33 WOW WOW WOW WOW
100% agreed
Possibly my favorite part of the song
I loveeee those insane blasts and the intensity afterwards tho
The song goes full "emotional panic mode" basically
00:00 - 15:27 _wow wow wow wow_
Nice
Tom Geldschlager
+Juan Ayestas Fountainhead
The part from 5:34 is so fucking awesome...fits right in there!
Why did they eject Tom Geldschlager! :(
Because him and Steffen and even Linus werent getting along. The whole reason Steffen pressured Hannes into leaving was because of how prolific he was and how he felt a compulsive need to write a lot of music that he wanted to use for the band. Then Tom joins and contributes musical ideas to every song on the album (the album liner notes fucking LIE theres no way to beat around that bush)... And Steffen obviously doesnt like this. Tom is also hyper specific about his vision from what I understand and I imagine that could make him a little difficult to work with on Linus's end as well. Like an example might be he wants this super exact rhythm for a part and not a rhythm thats just even a 32nd note off. But Steffen was honestly pretty unfair to him from what Ive gathered. Its really complicated and involves private shit thats really none of our business you know?
Its a really ridiculous situation but it is what it is
Linus's and Tom's riffs go together like bread & butter tho. So dank.
+James Peterson Well, so if I understand right: Steffen is the leader & composer of Obscura?
+Giltindor Yes he is, and from what I gather from speaking to Tom through Facebook once or twice, Steffen is extremely controlling. The entire German circle (Hannes, Linus, Christian, Tom, and others) all participate in numerous bands except Steffen, which is a pointer to that.
WAIT WTF I RESPONDED TO THAT IN A GIANT MESSAGE AND SAID NO HES NO...... oh my god. Did Steffen actually go out of his way to delete my comment. Band leader? Yes. Main composer? NOT SINCE RETRIBUTION.
+Zyborggian Holy shit. I was thinking I might have mis-remebered commenting, but now I seriously doubt it. I was saying the same thing. I GUESS I'M BOYCOTTING RELAPSE NOW. ARE YOU WITH ME, DUDE???
The violin parts remind me a bit of Arcturus.
+Tom Quareme Glad to hear im not the only one who digs that band... \m/
AMMMMMMMAZZZZZZZZINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!
this is the greatest username oh my god
Obscura > Alkaloid Very fresh music , many new influences, great album great band, THIS is how technical death metal should sounds like. Brillant! (Sorry for my english btw.)
Nonononononono no way in hell I could possibly agree but youre entitled to your opinion. Hannes is still the king of death metal and Florian Maier is nothing short of a VISIONARY
+Jakub Matuszak You should go back and listen to Omnivium. Imo, Akroasis is only on-par with that album because of Weltseele, whose writer isn't even in the band anymore.
+Elias Simon Omnivium is great album i was listening it many times and i think it's really awesome, but Akroasis sounds better in my opinion than last obscura's album. I have a little break and i wasnt listening technical death metal for almost 2 years, now i returned to and maybe i would try with Alkoloid again :)
+Jakub Matuszak Definitely at least try Dyson Sphere or the Noneuclid albums. They are definitely more diverse than this album OR the alkaloid stuff in my opinion. With flamenco, reggae, contemporary classical influences in there... Florian as I said before is a visionary. Doing things in extreme metal that have absolutely not been done before the way he does them in his compositions. I prefer Hannes's music but Florian is the most forward thinking musician out of this entire German circle. By leaps and fucking bounds imo.
Don't get me wrong tho I also love Weltseele and this album.
All Obscura album is masterpieces. I not have preferences.
That duration...

10:49" i'am a bankrupt cheerleader"..

Dominic plays in so many bands I dont even remember all of them
11:29 BTBAM?
1:52 my god
i feel like this band fkn rocks...but I also feel it would be better if they had an additional vocalist that could sing and scream...like the guy that replaced dreamshades old vocalist except sticking to this material and attitude.... I also think it would draw more fans and it would absolutely.. most definitely compliment the ever awesome lyrics I keep seeing in this band....do they have any songs with vocal collaboration anyone???
13:01 to end....awesome
>obscura with clean vocals
This is what Alkaloid and Hannes Grossmann's solo albums are for.
+Phillip Cantu thx...I'll look into it
I enjoy Death as much as the next person, but I'm glad they stopped with the Death worshipping and started writing their own style of music.
Except The Origin of Primal Expression is pretty much a blatant attempt to blend Death's prettier moments into one. Voice of The Soul and Without Judgement come to mind.
Victor Murray well yeah, that's literally meant to be a tribute to death
Fountainhead made this EP epic!!
1:52 the fuck are those time signatures
666 likes let's keep it that way
omg
This song is Massive..!!! Fuck
Este disco a lo que venía siendo Obscura no me gustó para nada, pero este tema es tremendooooooooooooo!!
.
Ex Nihilo much?
This photo looks like a covid invasor
As I walk through time and space
Nourished from this holy feasts

A blissful dream illuminated
Captured in this bright sparkling glitter dome
An enlightened shimmering black chamber

Into here and then ascend to rise
A maze built by suns and planets within
To cut through evanescent infinite gravity
Their presence, spirited, edged and alive
A momentum in allegiance, devotion and pride
As I reach for stars and unformed ground
I shoot for the moon in eventide unbound
Their presence, spirited, edged and alive
A momentum in allegiance, devotion and pride
Evermore supernal emboldened
Transcend sincere desire
From fluid to form, and liquid to life
In barren earth moribund
Suppressed in dreadful contestation
In smoldering, rotten sympathy
