OBSCURA - "The Anticosmic Overload"

[DeathMetalTim32]

I listen to this while playing Mass Effect. Problem?

[Desacrafire]

The lead Guitarist Christian is a real nice guy. He even got back to me via facebook with some awesome technique resources! Obscura is one of the best bands out there!

[Charliedethklok7]

The bass player here is the main reason why I switched from playing with a pick to playing with fingers. His raw fucking sound comes from that sweet fretless, but the instrument follows the musician. Love this band, this is probably the tenth time I've commented on this video.

[SpikeTHEchiken]

Fact: The amount of times I watch this video will get them to 1,000,000.

[MrNinjaCartel]

Just when I think this band can't get any more insane, I find out the vocalist is also the guitarist. I am burning my guitar and vocal cords now.

[syntheticskull]

@MrNinjaCartel Why did you tell us that...

[ravoid36]

This band has one of the best line ups in metal right now. What a line up.

[AnataNile]

7 strings and a Fretless Bass has become the tech death standard

Completely unrelated. I just watched that Beheading Rus neo nazi crap 4 the first time. (sorry, would talk about this somewhere else but, Im not really an online guy other than music on youtube so here I am) I feel like i could prob do with getting it off my chest (also sorry, most of you prob watched this video like 5 years ago...). So yeah, any thoughts? did it mess you up a little bit? not at all? is it fake? I think it's fake.

[XZarassoX]

Hahahahaha. I love Hannes's face at 3:34.

[SSSavio]

Sure they are good, i'm not too much into his vocals.

[dakotamanomgwtf]

@SSSavio Dude he has like the cooles vocals of any new Death Metal band IMO when he isn't doing the deep growls.

[chadmadna0]

vocal guy doubling up as rhythm/lead in metal: fucking skill.

[TheAshenFate]

@chadmadna0 Yesh Way

[xnecrophagist]

Para mi gusto no hay banda que supere a Obscura Xc /,,/,

[eggeregged]

such a fucken shame jeroen left :(

[threeDdefect]

@eggeregged I was just thinking the same thing.. I love me some fretless bass.

[MrWhiskeylover666]

fretless bass o.o

[jmckemy31]

Absolutely crushing riffs! Love these guys.

[waynoswalshos]

love how the drummer checks his watch at 00:59

[TheDisstance]

verdammt viele clicks steffen ;) respect aus landshut!!!!!!

[JustRealDubstep]

epic

[ernestomartin]

[Francosepulved4]

Obscura in Chile? :D

[aidenw96]

Is it just me or is the singer wearing a red jump suit.

[MetalNaruutoPT]

omfg, i swear i've gave nore then 50 views to this

[ImANegativeCreep13]

i wasnt much too into this kind stuff. i listen to lamb of god, devildriver shit like that. i found a phone with this band on it. ever since i herd this band i have not seemed to get enough of them. ther not like every other death metal band. like astro-space metal. fuckin awsome ass bassist too

[MetalNaruutoPT]

Just, perfect <3

[MrToogrik]

The best progressive death metal band nowadays))

[XxAardvark456xX]

Saw them with Devon Townsend, Septic Flesh, and Children of Bodom (the headliner). THESE GUYS KICKED ASS. SO MUCH ASS. THE AMOUNT OF ASS THEY KICKED IS INCONCEIVABLE TO THE HUMAN BRAIN.

[1846alexander]

@XxAardvark456xX I wish I could have been there...I had to work..did you take any pics from the show? that would have been cool.

[XxAardvark456xX]

@1846alexander Sorry, I only have a few crappy videos of Septic Flesh, Devin Townshend, and COB. I forgot I had my phone's camera with me when they were on, but they were pretty fucking great. I was literally right up in front, which is awesome since I could see them, but I was behind the speaker so I could hear mostly just drums. :/

[kalmahkid7]

@XxAardvark456xX I saw that tour too, Septic Flesh and Obscura were so sick! Townsend's alright too, not exactly my style, but he was good. And I've seen Bodom a few times so far, and they're always cool live.

[ravoid36]

@XxAardvark456xX COB were headliners in that line up? HAHA.

[XxAardvark456xX]

@ravoid36 I liked all of the bands equally. I would have seen any of them if they were headlining.

[0kayu0kayu0kayu]

Amazing bass player!!

[listher24]

hell yeah

[ElliottSplash]

Waiting for these to tour the UK :L fucking epic.

[HastOsth]

Best metal bassist ever? Ive listen the shit out of this album for the past year and i cant get enough of it!

[HerveGamerDude]

@HastOsth dont forget they also released omnivium this past year

[MetalheadWorking]

I WANT A FUCKING OBSCURA LIVE DVD! lml

[hybridshadowx]

[reaver901]

i used to be a death metal singer till i took a arrow in the knee

[wolfboii999]

Just found this... I feel weird listening to a band called "Obscura" after trolling a bunch of hipster videos ahahahaha... Anyway, this is cool!

[solidiquis1]

Atleast no one took an arrow to the knee.

[extrememetal100]

That singer/guitarist and Pat O'Brien should form a death metal band together,that would be awesome

[Hansaleus78]

perfect song.. and 6-stringed bass wow. I think it's ex-Necrophagist drummer there

[dcar908]

@Hansaleus78

[TheLordZib]

[gloriaIshtar]

[metallicaspiker16]

hard to believe the bassist plays flamenco...

[metallicaspiker16]

is steffen's guitar a six string or seven? on ran's site its a seven but for some reason to me it looks different, maybe my eyes are messing with me.

[MikeBsMovies]

Fuckin' Germans!!! Helll yeah.

[EPISLON120]

2:55

[alter666ego]

We're waiting for you in Colombia!!!

[ScrotieScrote]

i saw them live the other day... holy shit... they had a 10 minute long drum solo that blew everyone away, i got to meet them all and they all signed my ticket, made my fucking night.

[UnwillingOrigins]

@ScrotieScrote Was it at the warehouse? Damn, I wish I could have gone but I couldn't. That's awesome man

[ScrotieScrote]

@UnwillingOrigins it was at The Marquee in Oklahoma

[Bassbait]

I opened for these guys and got to meet them all. Steffen was really nice, and so was Hannes. They played "Nothing" off the first album, which was cool. It's kind of weird how casual it was being around them. And when they played this song for soundcheck.... that was AWESOME.

And also, we kind of made their day by selling 92 tickets in pre-sale. On their normal tour dates they said the day before they got like 20 people.

[deathoctober]

@Bassbait dude thats really awesome! someday i hope i get to get the chances you had!

[1846alexander]

@Bassbait That's bigtime cool.Obscura always gets good reviews.All of their albums are great.What city was that show?

[Bassbait]

@1846alexander Santa Ana.

[YaiiRRRR]

[gloriaIshtar]

[XEvilCloud]

[TheGoatSLAUGHTER]

i chipped my teeth in the pit for this song yesterday at the keyclub , my neck still hurts like fuck

[PuddlesOfGore]

This band is on a different level

[plorex]

3:30: Drumming like a boss.

3:33: 'I wonder what my dog is doing at home.'

3:35 'He better not be shitting on my rug'

[Ominous09]

@plorex very funny.... i rarely comment on funny posts on youtube but that cracked me up cheers.

[captainsack25]

Yo my band is opening for Obscura at Sonar in Baltimore Maryland on Dec 7th! Check out my band Vitality on youtube and hit us up on Facebook or message me on youtube if you want tickets

[captainsack25]

@captainsack25 I realized if you type in "Vitality" you don't find us. Try Vitality Carnivorous to check out one of our songs! We would really appreciate it.

[metalmedan]

thanks to obscura was play in medan, 1 october 2011, with only 100 ticket sold, it became a mini concert in medan,, but i still love this band.

[TheGoatSLAUGHTER]

gonna see these guys with my friends band at the key club monday gonna be sick as hell!!!!

[kook1028]

@TheGoatSLAUGHTER me too man, can't fuckin wait! my friends band is playing at 7:30 tonight! theyre playing with fuckin Abysmal Dawn and Obscura....holy shit!

[tiggxtreme]

Saw these guys along with Septic Flesh and CoB, was standing right in front of the stage: awesome.

[givemeajackson]

i like how they turn up the bassist so loud. gives more punch and surprisingly more definitiion to the sound. altough it's a bit unusual to really hear what the bassist plays. should become standard. htey are technincal as fuck, but still very musical. it's llike necrophagist, just without repetitions all the fucking time! new favourite band!

[FirePower3006]

@givemeajackson obscura > necrophagist I dont find necro musical although they are very technical and brutal just not as good as these guys!

[givemeajackson]

@FirePower3006 well, muhammed wrote some awesome, beautiful solos (epitaph, fermented offal discharge) , but the song sound all very much alike. i agree, obscura is the shit!

[FirePower3006]

@givemeajackson I love obscura cuz they are kinda keeping deaths spirit alive and sound exactly how my band will!

[94goliber]

konser jakarta semarak! 2 0ktober 2011 @cikini

[Charliedethklok7]

Didn't know Scott Pilgrim was Obscura's lead guitarist

[Charliedethklok7]

DAT BASS!

[blackseedsofvengance]

I see my favorite band live for the first time tonight!!! And no shit, its Obscura!

[pansprintf]

This is melodic death shit.

[Sulfur555]

@pansprintf no, is Tech brutal death, the melodic is most slow

[Dandeluffy]

Lyrics are pretty, but wtf was a twilight trailer doing here?

[Sulfur555]

I love This band \m/

[solidiquis1]

Fuck you ads! Fuck you! If I have to see another R&B add on a metal video I'm gonna flip the some tables in Ikea..

[92Vreid88]

1:11

Obscura salivates from the technical music.

[drummerdevil91]

I can't believe he looks at his watch at 0:58

[bloodwitchph]

this song is simply the best.



[TreeFrogOnATree]

Fuckdamnit I cant go to Mojoes tonight

[goldenlarry]

Fretless bass just don't sound heavy. One mang's opinion.

[lusciouspigroast]

It just seems like everything is perfect with this song. every instrument and the vocals are just fuckin great

[yokiddingme]

Obscura about to cover genre giants DEATH ATHEIST and CYNIC

[ShittyMcPoopyBalls]

@yokiddingme What do you mean?

[metaddiction]

6 string fretless bass FTW!!

[boki98ful]

156 idiots!

[dime133]

@boki98ful and then some.

[SerjoMetalov]

EPIC !

[nocturnasinterfector]

Please let this vid hit a million views

[equinoxnach]

Fuckyeah

[The34zyD]

You know, they should make video specific advertisements if they are going to advertise on here. If I'm on a metal video, I wouldn't mind if an advertisement for The Faceless came on. I can't tell you how many times I've pulled up a death metal video and got makeup commercials.

[maidenforever666]

what kind of gutiar is the lead playing? bc rich?

[moralito8888]

@maidenforever666 Ran guitars

[Rhemora666]

My band is playing with these guys nov 9th at Mojoes in Joliet! Check us out on my channel. \m/

[Omerta699]

@Rhemora666 NICE!!! and I checked out your band, Sick tunes man!

[Rhemora666]

BEAST

[UnderxHorror]

The bass sounds fucking amazing.

[aliascent]

Obscura : dressed like a Jazz band , plays some great death metal.

This being said , they really make an amazing music.

[BallerCanadian]

never heard this band before..Now I have..And I like it :)

[cliffgoodbye]

0:15

oh yeah. what heavy metal shoes!!!

[AP93Playa]

that solo makes me hard. not kidding.

[6789drummerboy]

[blackseedsofvengance]

@6789drummerboy the good half of necrophagist, my kinda band

[TheLucashenrik]

Man's !!!! fucking video! great band! where i can find the original discs?? thanks!

Lucas Henrique (From Curitiba Brazil)

[HerveGamerDude]

feat. bruce dickinson on bass

[xXParanormalPunxXx]

The beginning is 8/8 right?

[Bensunan]

@xXParanormalPunxXx 5/4 and then 4/4, i guess.

[chimpy989]

do i see twins ? :L

[Rhapsody92]

My Opinion: Much say that they are the new DEATH... well, they have the techique, but not the feeling, Chuck knew how to use the notes on the music, making it sound heavy but with feeling. These guys are awesome, but I don't think they can be the new DEATH... And finally I repeat: IT'S IN MY OPINION

[mrdeathamore]

@Rhapsody92 That's kinda stupid statement. How did you understood that they're have no feeling? Fuck, I'm sorry, actually, who the hell listens to DEATH METAL for some feelings? I mean, DEATH METAL is headbanging music for sure. I don't know what kind of feelings do you want to get from this. Go listen to Opeth for FEELINGS, or Sting, at least....

[metalhead4195]

@mrdeathamore Anger...i listen to this when im angry. ;D

[fuerzabruta88]

que tecnicos estos cabrones

[Cristoph9115]

@fuerzabruta88 si no ma algo brutal !!!!!

[necrotallica]

Fretless bass FTW!!!!!!!!!!

[TheJeffum]

Soooo last chance to reason is the second band opening up for obscura at the key club this november... so... after ive finish watching and listening to the awesomeness that is LCTR im leaving right after... CHEERS!!!....

[solidiquis1]

@TheJeffum You're not going to stay for Obscura?

[TheJeffum]

@solidiquis1 fak no

[solidiquis1]

@TheJeffum Why not? I'm not going to bag on you or anything I'm just curious as to why?

[TheJeffum]

@solidiquis1 cuz i love prog metal. the rest is nothing new to me. necrophagist is as far as ill go with pure tech death. listening to obscura brings nothing new to me.

[solidiquis1]

@TheJeffum :[ Have you heard both Cosmogenesis and Omnivium? If not I recommend listening to tracks like Aevum, Noospheres, Celestial Spheres, and Septuagint in order to get you started. If you only have time for one song I'd highly recommend Aevum. I urge you to give them a chance if you haven't already. It saddens me that you'll be missing out >.>

[TheJeffum]

@solidiquis1 cool sure i will give em a try. and dont be sad for me just have an awesome time.

[DannyNephilim91]

@TheJeffum Personally knowing the dudes in last chance to reason, i would say that they would think you are retarded if you leave and don't see obscura. Those guys love stuff like this, some of their favorite bands are cynic and atheist.

[TheJeffum]

@DannyNephilim91 lols i think ur retarded if you assume something like that and i dont think theyd give 2 fuks either.

[DannyNephilim91]

@TheJeffum COOL STORY BRO

[TheJeffum]

@DannyNephilim91 you just got Jeffed

[DannyNephilim91]

@TheJeffum Haha wow you must be a huge tool. Ive played shows with Last Chance To Reason, they like my band , i watched their members and wretched members throw down in the pit for us, ive had long discussions about music with those dude. I know they love real music and love bands like obscura. Im sure they are excited as hell to tour with them. I dont know what getting jeffed is but no thanks because im not into dudes. Good luck finding someone to have deep anal love with.

[TheJeffum]

@DannyNephilim91 lol i stand by my previous statement. they wouldnt give 2 fuks if i cared about obscura or not and i dont care if they do like em or not. And you? i dont give 3 fucks about what you've done with or without em because i dont give a flying fuck. "I know they love real music and love bands like obscura" what does real music mean? you sir are close minded thus i won't bother any further going deeper into the argument like i go deep into your mom. You sir just got jeffed again.
