Obscura - Desolate Spheres (live at the Up From The Ground fest 2006)

[ruhiology]

i love this version.... not so complex.. u can hear most of the part sounds like death song :)

[rob666bass]

Very good band and you can hear the influence of Chuck.

[ChainsawVsGod]

That is a fucking AWESOME! guitar the vocalist has. Do want.

[FireMoviesNL]

Must have been a great honour playing with Steffen, looking at where Obscura's now and especially when looking at the latest album Omnivium.

[knox20b]

this old version is just awesome!

[Bassbait]

Honestly I like the first album better than the second one.

The second one is great, but the first one stands out more to me. Still a killer band no matter what, and I'd kill to have a full band, because for people like myself, it's very hard finding a bassist or guitarist who like Death and wants to play the same style. It's all "Avenged Sevenfold" kids where I live.

[gashloog]

i like the cd version of this song... but like more this one

[DeathFan94]

they are great i love the old and new line-up:))

[MetaaIhoofd]

Aborted shirt :p happy to be belgian

[Evilvengeance666]

Great band, regardless of sound; COSMOGENESIS is always in my CD player!

[AionSamak]

obscura ruleeessssssssss!!!!!!!

[TheHeathenwolf]

This song is my favorite

[XSilverxCrossx]

lol they skipped the best part of the song where it slows down into that amazing tapping solo

[elmingodotcom]

@XSilverxCrossx it didnt existed yet

[Drucef]

who was the band at the very beginning?

[bbksounds]

Haha da habe ich euch auch gesehen und ihr seid mir zwar mehr oder minder positiv aufgefallen, aber dass Steffen die Band nochmal so hochziehen würde, habe ich damals nicht erwartet ^^.

[TYLERBECKER94]

Yes, they were way more tight when I saw them, and singer sounded better to, They have improved, witch is great because they are a very talented band

[feckineejit]

Cosmogenesis is a great album.  I am obsessed with it now.

[jorge23000]

You can really can tell the muenzner - grossman influence in the cosmogenesis track, but this performance is really awesome, less agressive but you can hear more the sound of the guitars :)

[ChiefWyldeSpirit]

Very good band! Sick bassist with biiig balls!! Every single one are perfect. What's the singer's guitar? Please tell me somebodyyyyyyyyyyyy!!

[Pandem9]

his guitar is a Ran custom guitar. nd they have a different line up now too

[anonymous564]

I love these guys but... They're not so tight live... I'm sorry, it pains me to say it lol

[NRWDMMarkus]

@anonymous564

Well, this is the old line-up at the end of a tour and after driving through the night in a packed van. ;-) Go to see the new line-up on a nightliner tour and you'll see a tight show. ;-)

[anonymous564]

@NRWDMMarkus Nice! Alright, i'll do some looking around

Ooooof, i take it back xD Saw anticosmic overload and it was fucking SICK!

[brandokilla1]

@anonymous564 there good now dude back then they werent so technical man but now fuck there sick plus they got jerone on bass and he plays a 6 string bass guitar

[enoch5000]

@anonymous564 I saw them in SF 2010 and they are PERFECT, AMAZING>

They change people, and this version is different than the one in the cd.

[disasterpiece112]

@anonymous564 i really dont know why you would bitch.

[stratoguz]

what a boring crowd. Awesome song

[NRWDMMarkus]

@stratoguz

Well, that was around noon so we were happy that at least some people showed up to see us. ;-) The night before we played in Berlin and had to drive throughout the night in order to make it.

[mirkomcbrain94]

Why you played Desolate Spheres in 2006, if this song is taken from the 2009 album "Cosmogenesis"?

[reaperchild707]

this song has changed soo much since 2006

[InsideTheMindsEye]

Markus, just so ya know, like 300 of those views are mine! ;) this is bad ass. wanting to hear more Exposed Guts!

[NRWDMMarkus]

@InsideTheMindsEye

Thanx man! Well, I hardly had any time to play guitar for the last few months... :-( Oh well, times may be better soon. ;-)

[ultimateRupture]

better with muenzer now!!

[NRWDMMarkus]

@ultimateRupture I agree! Got to see Obscura again last weekend and filmed the complete show. Let's see if they'll upload it... Hannes got all the material.

[nerdheadbanger]

Wait, wait, you were in Obscura? What happened? o.0

[NRWDMMarkus]

I quit. ;-)

[nerdheadbanger]

Why though? (If you don't mind me asking)

[slaytanicsabbath]

well that was a shit move eh?

[nerdheadbanger]

BC Rich Stealth?! ALRIGHT! That's what i'm talking about! RIP Chuck!

[primordialorbit]

FUCK YEAH!!!! I love Obscura.

[holman26]

FUCKING AWESOME

[corrda1993]

who's the bassist? that isnt Jeron is it?

[Hobble]

It's not Jeroen, this is before he joined. I'm not sure who is on bass, he's good but doesn't really fit compared to Jeroen.

[dittohead33]

Fucking cool video!

[gashloog]

hey markus great song and stage performance

what do you think about the new obscura album?

[GJRM18]

dude this is a bad ass song and thats a b.c rich your playing thats fucking amazing i have never seen one like that

[NRWDMMarkus]

Actually it's avialable everywhere now. As a US made custom shop model and then there's also a cheap Asian version.

[ProgThrasher6666]

It's reminiscent of the Chuck Schuldiner stealth.

[Hobble]

this song just isn't the same without Jeroen's bass playing.

[crackhead007]

dude this song is crap without him and hannes grossman. like after listening to obsucras fretless bass player like i get bass withdrawals when i cant hear the bass now and im a drummer lol his bass playing hands down is untouched and makes obscura a monster of a band, as well as grossman. but they def changed the song like this doesnt at all sound like the album song

[KreatorOfDeath1985]

lol that guitar player is rocking the Chuck Schuldiner model Stealth

[NRWDMMarkus]

Why 'lol'? I wanted to have that damn guitar since I first saw a pic of it back in the early 90s. When I finally had the money in the end of 2003 I ordered it from the BC Rich custom shop and received it in May 2005.

[KreatorOfDeath1985]

haha i play one myself man i love the shape and feel!

The Lol was like, they must be influenced by chuck schuldiner, its awsome

[UrukOfficial]

Lol, awesome vid! But the singers vocals have improved extremely much since this vid and the new album.

Here the singer sounds sounds like a confused lion XD

But still awesome :D

[Deathmetalfan69]

is wasnt hannes grossman (their new drummer) who wrote the song??? because its theur old line-up

[inimicalODDITY]

the singer is using a Ran, he uses it on Cosmogenesis also. The new version of this song on Cosmogenesis is definately better than this one. These ex members don't seem as talented as the current ones.

[mooseheadrofl]

what guitar is the lead singer using???

HOLY SHIT THATS BADASS!

[Deathmetalfan69]

A Ran Custom Made guitar

[lastincantation]

fucking kick ass band

[lakerfan82k3]

I don't like this version compared to the "Cosmogenesis" version. It's much slower.

[seethemdie]

You are absolutely right. At first, I thought it wasn't the song! WTF? :S

[morbotron1]

AWESOME!!!!!!FROM COLOMBIA

[burpeemetaldrumguy]

i like how the drummer makes the song groovier live with the ride bell.. i like tha tgroove better than the album. good shit

[bslz65]

IS THAT A MOSER?

[zmckewl]

SUPERGEIL! :)))

[stban932]

WHAT IS THE BAND BEFORE OBSCURA??

[ExposedGuts]

That was Tourette Syndrom from Australia.

Markus / Exposed Guts

[lastincantation]

take a look @ necrophagist and old pestilence....

[irondoomdesign]

ATHEIST

[DeanFromHell1993]

nothing against you markus, but i like the new lineup better :)

[Deathmetalfan69]

hell yeah

[ExposedGuts]

Haha... no problem! I agree! The new line-up is awesome and Steffen and Christianare way better guitar players than me. ;-)

Markus / Exposed Guts

[urxxxnemesis]

fucking awesome man

[deadasfak]

They're a lot tighter nowdays with the ex-Necrophagist drummer:)

[DanielGuitarXtreme]

The version of this song in the new album cosmogenesis is amazing too, this band has grown more progressive and technically and to become very compact with the tremendous musicians who have entered.

[bsmcmist]

hellyeah, playing tribute to Chuck!!!

I want one too :P

[ProkreatedThrash]

I like this version a bit better. The it's just more of an upbeat and more likeable version than on Cosmogenesis.

[aurasmash]

I totaly agree with you, dont understands why people are giving you thumbs down. The cosmogenesis version sounds to mechanic, this has a natural flow to it. Not as fast but more brutal.

[ProkreatedThrash]

It sounds more like they were writing as a band and not separately. Like at :36 onward.

[marextube]

Not at all Mr Dwc6! All good on my end! both guitars rule, I actually love the Stealth and respect to you for getting a RAN. It will take a while to come but I am certain it will be worth it.

[Dwc6]

Oh man! I seen them in April with Cannibal Corpse, then I went to the No Fear concerts, aka L.O.G and C.O.B.

But man I love this dudes guitar, and the other lead is playing Chuck Schuldiner Stealth Handmade guitar HOLY FUCK THESE DUDES ARE SICK I WANT HIS GUITAR. FUUUCK. UUAAAHHHGGG.

[marextube]

Actually Steffen plays a RAN Guitar, handmade in Poland. Highest quality custom axe. Looks and sounds great

[Dwc6]

Dude, did you just give me a thumbs down? I know he plays a RAN, I said OTHER LEAD, he is playing a Stealth, Chuck's to be exact, I can quote what I said if you need me too man. And yeah... I've already orderd the same guitar from RAN with bolt on easy reach neck, and chrome hardware instead of black.

[ExposedGuts]

The 2nd guitar player is me. I got that Stealth in May 2005, coz I wanted to own one since I had seen it at a picture of Chuck back in the early 90s. Steffen's Ran is awesome as well, but actually you could give the biggest piece of shit guitar to Steffen and he would still play and sound awesome. ;-) That guy is brilliant!

Markus / Exposed Guts

[guitar4life33]

Steffen is a genius. I'm 100% with you on that one bro :) I'm sure you've listened to their new material right? WOW incredible...

[rebrules]

Steffen is one of the best rythm players i ever heard, but that solo in this vid makes me want to poke my eyes out, you can tell he has no idea how to sweep pick lol

[guitar4life33]

Damn right you are.. I watched that part and I literally muttered.. "noooooo..!" he'll learn eventually XD

[ultimateblast666]

listen to his solos on the new album, he definitely can sweep....

[guitar4life33]

Yeah on the album.. the solo in this song before the main solo (christians) with the diminished and minor arpeggios. Have u seen him perform it live?

[ultimateblast666]

I saw them in Munich some time ago where they played that song live. the second solo was played by Steffen, the first one by Christian.

[guitar4life33]

really?! i didnt know steffen could play that..u sure?

[ultimateblast666]

he plays a lot more solos on that album and definitely can shred, just look into the booklet of the album.

[BlindApe79]

yeah, def then, but hes been practicing. didnt know till i saw them live, but he does a handful of the solos on the album. really well, too.

[aurasmash]

I think someone gave you a thumbs down because of your immature use of language, just a guess

[Dwc6]

Haha, if they did, they're not metal at all.

[aurasmash]

So being metal is about what kind of language you use?

[james32870]

Saw these guys open for Cannibal....they kick ass

[batmayn123]

HOLY FUCK this is awesome!

[DanielGuitarXtreme]

now this band is more kicks ass than ever

great song!

[fisketorg]

He looks so relaxed when he growls

[X666slayer]

steffen has an amazing guitar too bad it has crappy access to the high frets

[MikeFoster611]

that guitar has the bigest fucking cutaway i have ever seen

[schmitt4112]

I agree, it should have amazing access to the high frets.

[aurasmash]

He seems to be handling it pretty well if you ask me

[RThunder91]

Man das muss hart sein nicht mehr dabei zu sein!

[meluaz]

i just listened to cosmogenesis yesterday and n i havnt been this xcited about a band for ages

[nostalgiaplatz]

fully agree, me neither!!

[DrMorbid]

meluaz: Same here.

[TheHeadHunter824]

very good !!!

[Corpseslider]

Ex Members of Necrophagist

[Hyrrokkin]

why didn't this song make it on to Retribution? or was it written afterwards?

[lordvampyr]

is'nt this song gonna be on the new album?

[wyoat]

I hope so this songs fucking awsome!

[nytjd911]

they redid it on the new album and its great!

[extraguades]

i like this version a bit more

[aurasmash]

The new version isnt as good as this one but its ok.

[SoulCollectorInEbony]

What guitar is the singer using?

Keep rockin Markus. God Bless

[exodus616]

RAN custom shop from poland

[nostalgiaplatz]

thanks exodus. That's a fine looking guitar! I thought it was a b.c bich custom shop.

[Fredmelott]

I played that festival before..We had some naked fuck on stage..Is it still in wuerzburg, Germany?

[zetoze]

Great performance Markus! \m/
