OBSCURA - "Septuagint"

[ESPViper5001]

When that riff kicks in at 1:12....pure fuckin awesome.

[Atlaned]

Singer isn't that great but the guitar work is...

[Rcbquark]

@Atlaned I like the singing parts.

[sixthseparatist]

One of the most talented bands in metal. Just brilliant.

[Scorpionsting22]

This song is awesome!

[rockinkidxxx]

the only thing worse than people arguing about genres is the people bitching about people arguing about genres

[damocles943]

@rockinkidxxx then aren't you bitching about people bitching about people bitching about genres?

[ParadoxxDubstep]

The guitarist is christian muezner from necrophagist right?

[reet12337]

@ParadoxxDubstep Yes. He doesn't play in necrophagist anymore tho.

[nounever]

Just headbang and listen, it's not worth arguing with all the idiots and 12 year olds.

[mancubius]

most top comments are like ' stop arguing about genre and listen to the fucking music ' :P I mean this is like everywhere! XD but well oh they got a point and I laugh to closed minded pricks who don't want to listen to something new ! :] oh and also gotta love how many 'fuckings' can someone put in his comment to make it look cool ! x]

[PoGoMyFlApPyStIcK]

@mancubius Also gotta love the excessive :PXD:]x] <<< Very gay dude. And if you're a chick...still gay.

[PoGoMyFlApPyStIcK]

@mancubius Might as well type dkjsnfnsbdfa :PPOLYrutggv**&^%$FDSXCCHNG

K i'm done.............. XD

[mancubius]

@PoGoMyFlApPyStIcK lmao , hahaahahaha XD

[PoGoMyFlApPyStIcK]

@mancubius :P

[posersunited]

I do not care if it´s "brutal" or if it´s "for pussies".

it´s good music.

stop trying to put an artform into your shapes.

[DarkRetroFan64]

I just learned Cosmogenesis and Omnivium are apparently two installments in a four-album concept that the band is doing. Now I'm very happy, over the next few years I get to anticipate at least two more awesome albums from these fantastic musicians. When I'm 40 years old Obscura's albums are gonna be remembered like the way Death's albums are remembered today.

[Bassbait]

@DarkRetroFan64 We won't know until we get there. Now there's so many bands, the "legacy" is up in the air. I honestly think Vektor and Obscura have the best chance of being the pioneers of today. If you don't know Vektor, I feel sorry for you. "Cosmic Cortex" is a song worthy of rivaling for one of the best metal songs ever written, as with "Anticosmic Overload".

[zigot13]

hhhmmmm.... ×_×

[jebemborerom]

awesome mixture of clean parts and brutality, one of the finest metal bands

[SerjoMetalov]

aaaa great band ..... great songs !

[dedamile]

@marshallvs100

and WORLD UNDER BLOOD,similar music,very good!!!

[nycbassist76]

@marshallvs100 also beyond creation;)

[cazearnest]

tech death is in dire need of some vocal diversity, i know the focus is mainly the music but a tech death band with a more diverse vocalist would probably do much better and kind of change the game but nothing against obscura ofcourse great band

[Xenoforge78]

@cazearnest I agree.

[ImIntoAnimals]

@cazearnest Finally, I feel like I'm the only one who appreciates clean vocals.

[CityGuitarist]

holy shit

[headbangyoucunt]

1500th like yeaah

[FragileDarkness665]

great song!

[sonicslaughter]

I love Obscura! Technical death metal forever!! \m/

[Connman116]

death metal is meh could be better I just cant stand the growling still better then screamo tho

[sonicslaughter]

@Connman116 How did you get here? lol

[koekhapper]

very nice! complex, yet melodic and intense!

[chapapwnszombies]

This band is Death on steroids. I love Obscura!

[FreddyGore077]

0:47 sounds like a7x, but it's better

[givemeajackson]

@FreddyGore077 impossible to sound worse than a7x

[Kamdonion]

@FreddyGore077 How is it even possible to relate one of the premier technical death metal bands in existence to.... avenged sevenfold

[1Jp2y]

<3

[VicodinAddicted]

nothing beats the blastbeats

[CuddleShit2]

Guize, you're missing the video! Shut the fuck up and enjoy the fine music this band has given to us!

[mmmTheMuffinMan]

its a shame there is no hd on this

[SuperAtomicalex]

This is godly madness, thumbs up, please!!!!

[DarkRetroFan64]

People are going to listen to this 20 years from now like people of today listen to Crystal Mountain. This will become a classic Metal album.

[TehCoGGii]

I feel fucking dumb after listening to this, finding it awesome and then scrolling down to see fags argue about genres. You fucktards have no clue of music, most of you dont even Play any instruments. Who are you to even fucking categorize music? If it was categorizable, music would always sound the same. That would mean you would like every other "technical brutal pornogrinddeathcoremetal" band there is. Just fucking fuck yourself in the face and die. If you argue with this, you proved my point

[ElvenefrisAflame]

@TehCoGGii Cry more

People like to subcategorize genres into distinct movements in style? What nerds!

Just shut the fuck up and crawl back into the hole you came from. And this is coming from a musician.

[TehCoGGii]

@ElvenefrisAflame a bad one

I dont give a chainsaw, people also like to fart in other people's faces, still it's dumb as shit.

[ElvenefrisAflame]

@TehCoGGii Lmao, you've never heard me play anything, I don't have any videos on youtube. For all you know, I could be a fucking virtuoso.

Also, nice job attacking a straw man. Really solid argument you've got there.

[GoreyAndKrookedOnes]

@TehCoGGii I can vouch I did it to a few siblings and friends especially when they're drunk off their ass and they can't move! hah (referring to farting in ones face)

[GoreyAndKrookedOnes]

@ElvenefrisAflame Im a musician and I sub categorize, so must mean I am a sexy nerd then buddy. You are retarded. Grow up and stop being a kid!

[ElvenefrisAflame]

@GoreyAndKrookedOnes I was being sarcastic when I said that. Fuck off.

[GoreyAndKrookedOnes]

@ElvenefrisAflame Really? Well maybe you should think before you do anything. Retard.

[ElvenefrisAflame]

@GoreyAndKrookedOnes Usually the use of sarcasm implies some sort of thought behind what's being spoken. I'm not sure if that was supposed to be a comeback or not. Retard? The irony is killing me.

[GoreyAndKrookedOnes]

@ElvenefrisAflame Oh is someone frustrated with another? You truly must see what is going on in front of you to know what is going on. There is no irony here im just smoking a shit ton of bowls out ma serious bong bitch :P

[2fast5you]

@TehCoGGii TRUE!

[Failhaid]

@TehCoGGii fully aggree with you. to me there is just music i like and music i don't like, that's all :-)

[Bassbait]

@TehCoGGii Welcome to the realm of no logic, where actually making sense or bringing up a good point doesn't matter, as long as you act stupid enough.

[LArsISmyNAme]

@TehCoGGii Preach oooooown brotha!

[JustRealDubstep]

for me the best death metal

[beerhoven]

Fretless bass and death metal, why would you have anything else after hearing it once?

[Bassbait]

@beerhoven I'll tell you what, my band switched to Fretless as soon as we could get our hands on one!

[Rcbquark]

@beerhoven Fretless bass is chop. I would credit sean malone back in 1993. Also note Lars K. Norberg of spiral architect circa 2000.

[beerhoven]

@Rcbquark My first introducrion to it was Steve DiGiorgio. I know he was playing "The Frog" in Death, but I seem to remember fretless in an earlier Sadus album but I could be mistaken. It changed my whole perspective on metal bass and I proceeded to convert an old Peavy bass to fretless. Thanks for pointing those other guys out,

[BER2ERKER]

cont. prog tech death, but it's not really necessary as almost all bands in the genre are progressive. By saying technical death metal, you pretty much encompass 90% of the bands sound.

[BER2ERKER]

Yeah it's not deathcore, not even slightly. But yeah they have a lot of fusion elements. The best description is technical death metal. Yes, they are very progressive, fusion-esque, and sometimes even experimental; however, they fit 100% squarely into the technical death metal genre. Bands in the genre can differ in many ways, but the main underlying themes of technical death metal are very clear and Obscura fits best into this genre. If you want to waste more space, you could call them prog te

[TheGuitaroid]

this sounds interesting if you like some well doen stuff : youtube.com/watch?feature=play­er_embedded&v=6jAmhCqeq1U

[shogott]

Death is my favorite band of all time, and they shall be forever. But i've heard these guys called the new Death, and honestly, i can see it. These guys are amazing. Anyone who talks down about Obscura should go try to write a song this good.

[NorthernPanzer666]

I know it's annoying to discuss what genre it is, it is an individual meaning, some are right & some are wrong.There is about 1-2 min. that can be called Death Metal (remember just my view) in this number. As I hear it, it's very progressive, not typical Deathcore, but a lot of bands are often judged by the vox.A band w/ distorted guitars & growling, then it's DM, without discussion. But today many bands are more hybrid bands, who mix lots of genres.So fuck the genre.If you like it, why bother??

[JRexHvyMtl]

AMAZING

[Bozziolinni]

anyone who says this needs more core needs to get smack in the face!

[LartenCreapsly]

This is the first song I hear of them... I'm buying the whole album.

[BER2ERKER]

@SeanMcStomper Christian from

Obscura is playing leads on the new Spawn of Possession album that's coming out Q1 this year. Pick it up it's going to be insane. And, if you like guitar, listen to Symphony X. It's not death metal and it's not heavy, but Michael Romeo is one of the best guitar players of our time. If you want guitar music, that's a good example. I don't even like anything other than death metal, yet I still have all their albums as a guitar player.

[givemeajackson]

@BER2ERKER woo, obscura and SoP collaboration? thats gonna kick ass! btw, some really sick guitar is cacophony. obscura covered concerto on omnivium.

[SeanMcStomper]

@BER2ERKER Thanks! I listen to Symphony X a lot, I love that kind of metal with insane guitar and overall good songs. And you're right, Romeo is amazing. I checked out some of Spawn of Possession, i had just been waiting for the next album because i knew Christian would play on it, but I liked Noctambulant, the album, a lot. Btw, I tried to get into Origin, but I didn't know where to start, I have just listened to Antithesis so far...it's good, very good. Thanks again

[BER2ERKER]

@SeanMcStomper I'm shocked and

disappointed that nobody replied to you with: Spawn Of Possession, ORIGIN, Severed Savior (start with Servile Insurrection, the previous stuff is uber duber heavy you might not like it). These three bands are legendary technical death metal. That's enough to keep busy for at least a year.

[chongo666]

You all need to look up ANATA

[TheSonOfTheSystem]

@chongo666 Aye! Anata are kings in tech death. The Conductor's Departure is one of my favorite metal albums of all time.

[AnataNile]

@chongo666 Indeed

[VersusTheAir]

needs more core

[mattster693]

@VersusTheAir no no core me likey the way it is and i hate breakdowns :/

[VersusTheAir]

@mattster693 nooo no no you like breakdowns, you just don't know it yet

[TheMetalhenge]

the best song i've ever heard

[JustRealDubstep]

the first modern death metal band that is awesome...fucking awesome

[metalradio9]

@JustRealDubstep Necrophagist are pretty much the bomb. In fact, some of the members in Obscura used to be in that band.

[AndersonWave17]

its fucking sad that that comment got 59 thumbs up

[Neuroneos]

This is a great piece of Death Metal. I feel sorry for the ones who think it's just noise. They don't know what they are missing ...

[beamhardbc]

@Neuroneos that's their punishment. :D

[TheSteko]

@Neuroneos their fault ;)

[CalIingTheRain]

I used to headbang to mozart, beethoven and In Flames :D

Damn, I love your fucking comments youtube users around the globe...

[gh3rulz69]

stop your fucking argueing and listen to some fucking metal

beethoven to braindrill who gives a fuck

headbang

[shockofhyperbole]

@gh3rulz69 Braindrill sucks ass.

[FALLENMAGGOTSHIT]

@shockofhyperbole just because youre level of understanding sucks ass doesnt mean everything else does too

[mk2vrjet]

The acoustic opening reminds me alot of old In Flames.

[SatansBro1]

@mk2vrjet In Flames used to be so good.

[mk2vrjet]

@SatansBro1 Agreed.



[Failhaid]

@SatansBro1 i actually like some of the new stuff. but of course - the old albums can never by touched. just CLASSIC stuff :-)

[kevmann92]

i like the beginnig but theres way to uch doing on in the middle

[ChuckSchuldinerRIP0]

This album definitely didn't not raise any bars especially not Technical Death Metal.

[Trogzul]

Finaly Obscura is coming to Norway, I have to go and see them!

[israelgarridogtr]

awesome!

[Mir4culez]

<3 Obscura, Highlight of every festival!

[BinaryPill]

Why is it that all the best music comes from bands that are almost unknown?

[BinaryPill]

@BinaryPill Or should I say 'obscure' =)

[DarkRetroFan64]

This is the type of Modern Death Metal I dig. Not too big on that pig squealing stuff.

[KHfan4ever23]

@DarkRetroFan64 Lol that's deathcore.

[DarkRetroFan64]

@KHfan4ever23 Not always, there's some goregrind, and standard death metal that has pig squealed vocals, and not all deathcore does pig squealing.

[15viceandvirtues]

@DarkRetroFan64 The pig squealing, dependent-on-chugging-the-open­-string thing isn't really modern death metal. And yeah, I find it pretty uninteresting. This stuff is just great, though! Very impressive stuff!

[MrZ14D]

pure art

[DrunkernBob]

I have to thank Obscura for still giving me hope in today's death metal. I hope this influences people to play better shit than today's music. 1980's music like Death or Possessed was the best, that NEEDS to come back.

[goodnamepending]

@DrunkernBob If you like obscura u should check out fleshgod apocalypse - the viloation, fucking badass

[FoStoFoSho]

@DrunkernBob AGREED! You ever hear of the band Cynic? wellll the singer and drummer have a side project called Aeon Spoke, has ex-Death members. Trust me it's not Death music, but its really great chill-tech stuff. I suggest checking it out.

side note (kinda funny), Obscura does a Ciynic cover. They are all connected lol.

[DrunkernBob]

@FoStoFoSho I have heard of a band named cynic, all thanks to Death. It as ascociated with them, along with control denied. Most bands are connected, that's how I have come to known about the main Death Metal ones.

[Aepriz]

@DrunkernBob Their are some great bands now a days to, haha. Augury, Exivious, Aghora, Ephel Duath, Iceburn and above all Fallujah and Obscura.

But yeah Death tops them all! And that's coming from someone who isn't a big fan of 80ties metal.

[XQriousX]

@Aepriz Gorod, The Faceless, some Arsis and Origin.

[LilReaper608]

@DrunkernBob its hard as hell to form a band like that. finally i found people to play that with but everyone is so into that deathcore garbage no one wants to solo all they want is break downs :/

[givemeajackson]

@DrunkernBob i think obscura is better than most 80's bands. way more complex, way more musical, way more melodic. my favourite band at the moment, along with dream theater and gojira.

[TrollandDie]

@givemeajackson

Modern death metal is such a wonder and we're truly spoiled for choice!

There's brutal, darkened, old school, technical, melodic, blackened, atmospheric, progressive stylisations among many other ways to have your extremity served. So many awesome bands these days in this beautiful genre: from Fleshgod Apocalypse to Quo Vadis.

[givemeajackson]

@TrollandDie true. i love tech death, but it should stay melodic and musical. thats why necrophagist and obscura are among my favourite bands.

[VicRattlehead72]

ROCKSSSSSSS

[a5ra3l]

I'm proud to be german!

... because of OBSCURA!

:)

[SuicideSerpent]

@a5ra3l don't forget about necrophagist, dawn of disease, ichor, grand sermon and so on :D

[1littlekiko]

@a5ra3l pilas pra voce palhaço

[a5ra3l]

@1littlekiko Filho da puta .... muaaaahaaaa

Seu porco gay: D

Você chupa paus! :))))

FUCK YOU!! DISABLED CUNT!!!

[MetaphoricalFoe]

Music to my ears...Literally.

[SeanMcStomper]

thanks for the suggestions, trying them out. I had already listened to The Faceless and BTBAM, but I'm trying the other bands. Btw, i don''t only mean technical death metal, but any kind of metal with melodic lines that is complex.(Dream Theater alike?) Again, thanks for the suggestions

[igotwoodhaha]

@SeanMcStomper Cynic

[nikkisixxfan86]

@SeanMcStomper Cynic, Atheist, Last Chance to Reason

[gunpowderjoe1]

@SeanMcStomper if you haven't listented to Fear Factory that may be your answer...a little heavier than Dream Theater, but extremely talented/melodic.

[javiejometal]

obscura....fucking beast!

[SeanMcStomper]

So guys, I am searching for more technical/complex bands that sound cool, like Obscura, Necrophagist, Cynic, Watchtower, Blottted Science (specially interested in the guitar), so i figured out i'd just ask you for suggestions.

Obscura is fucking beast!

[ThoughtPatternss]

@SeanMcStomper Spawn of Possession

[poizonsting9]

@SeanMcStomper Algophobia, Wetwork, Demilich, Iniquity

[SeanMcStomper]

@poizonsting9 Dude, where did you find such "unheard of" bands. Iniquity's first album is cool so far though.

[cloud9846]

@SeanMcStomper The Faceless, Between the Buried and Me, Destroy Destroy Destroy

[AP93Playa]

@SeanMcStomper The Black Dahlia Murder are melodic death metal but they have strong tech death influences imo. plus, they do sound a bit like obscura, the riffing is similar.

[DShiflet01]

@SeanMcStomper Try Augury, Atheist, Quo Vadis, Martyr(the Canadian one, not the Dutch one, who are fun but not exactly complex and technical), Ouroboros, Spiral Architect, Toxik, Scariot, Communic. Not all death bands, but if you're looking for complexity and technicality they might all fit what you're looking for.

[SeanMcStomper]

@DShiflet01 I'll try the last five, i already know, and like a lot, the other bands you mentioned. Thanks a lot :)

Btw, don't u people think this song would be better as an instrumental? Just saying, not complaining.

[15viceandvirtues]

@SeanMcStomper Well, not exactly super-technical, but if you want great overall riffing, solos and excellent songwriting try listening to the recently broken-up Nevermore. I suggest starting on the Godless Endeavor album. Its sort of the simplest to digest, but all their albums are fantastic! Just a suggestion though, haha. And for impressive modern bands, I suggest The Faceless, Arsis (I love these guys. Check out their first three albums)

[SeanMcStomper]

@15viceandvirtues Oh yeah, awesome band...I loved Loomis' solos on the 4-5 songs I had heard before, I have listened to Dead Heart in a Dead World and This Godless Endeavor now....those are GREAT albums. Zero Order Phase is insane as well, hope Loomis gets more solo albums out (hope his second comes out this year...since there's been some info on guest solos...)

[javiejometal]

fucking awesome

[1ch3atd3ath]

I broke my neck windmilling to this. Totally worth it.

[asensniper]

this song is SO fucking good

kicking it at 3:30 am !

[DoubleEdgedSword12]

So br00tiful

[demigodth]

TECHNICAL DEATH AT IS VERY BEST

[kimsue68]

22 people can't pop a boner for Obscura

[metaddiction]

The accustic parts kind of reminds me of Opeth :D

[JorgeThrash90]

WTF Shitallica and Obscura can't be compared o.O

[gusanitosenbatalla]

the master piece of obscura until now !!! :D

[PLATINUMTEDDII]

AWESOME!! I LIKE IT! :D

[ihaxnoobs]

Since everyones favorite thing to do is argue on YouTube... this is some awesome POP music =D jk

[TheGrimBassist]

@ihaxnoobs I thumbed you up... just because of your name

[andresaba2099]

22 people is gay D:

[RockBirth]

I love how this is pretty technical but isn't a mess as many other bands.

[SlayerHollow999]

your mom is the biggest influence on death metal

[diegomifits666]

@SlayerHollow999 Yeah man his mom was an Inspiration for Cannibal Corpse when they wrote Fucked With a Knife,She Was Asking For It and Adicted to Vaginal Skin lol

[orangepillow12]

does the lead singer do the clean vocals as well?, awesome band :D

[xXParanormalPunxXx]

This is a spanish influenced melody

[Havoc5487]

oh FUCK YES

[c4bb4g3]

I actually enjoyed the clean parts in this, but Steffan growled them live. Still sounded good, but I was curious as to whether he could replicate them.

[c4bb4g3]

@Tainted369 I disagree. I get their songs stuck in my head all the time and they're probably the best band I've seen live.

[666jony666]

I once read someones comment saying this is similar to what they think Death would be releasing if they were still around and regards to melody, technicality, level of progression and all around song writing skill ive got to say I agree to some degree though i feel death would probably sound slightly heavier and I personally think this sounds more generic Tech Death

[jeleopard]

@666jony666

Obscura is often referred to as the Second Death, from what I've heard. I highly agree with both them and you. Death -would- have a heavier sound, but these guys are GREAT.

[Retrox13]

Guys why are we fighting we are metalheads we should hate on another metal band or metalhead we should respect peoples' bands

[mikkaramies]

I don't understand these comments. For some, this may distantly resemble Metallica, like for me with some melodies but not the most. I like some works from Metallica and I kinda starting to like this. Why does it have to be somekind of a competition?
