Despite Obscura having to drop off Summer Slaughter this year due to visa issues, the band has finally completed its new record! According to the group's Facebook, everything is recorded, mixed and mastered, meaning we'll probably hear something pretty soon.

“We are proud to announce that we finished the production of our new album! The production was full of extremes in so many ways. All band members were working at their limit to make this album the best possible. Advertisement. Scroll to continue reading. Thanks to the mix and mastering qualities of our long time producer V. Santura our songs became even more powerful than I could have imagined. You can be looking forward to very fast and Obscura typical up tempo tracks but also some very new sounds with very detailed, atmospheric, dark and heavy parts.”

This will be the first Obscura record with drummer Sebastien Lanser and guitarist Tom Geldschläger, and it'll apparently get pretty weird with fretless guitars and shorted songs. So we'll see soon enough, I'm sure!
