Lyrics:
When radiation fades and remnants dissipate
Sacrificed we reunite in obedience
Decayed and lapsed in entropy
Bewailed, intoned the last elegy
Elapsed this diminished last piece of time
Shattered, convulsed, distressed in clarity
Diluvium - a vortex of primordial black holes, unbound
Diluvium - a stream into nothingness, unleashed
Drowned evaporation, enduring lucent purity
Grand deprivation, eternal cosmic unity
When resplendence elapsed, and fragments abrogates
Consecrated we insist in allegiance
Constrained and deformed in ecstasy
Enrapt, entranced in parity
Bygone this languished finite state of mind
Battered, relinquished, distraught deformity
Solo: R. Trujillo
Music by Sebastian Lanser & Rafael Trujillo
Lyrics by Steffen Kummerer

[@relapserecords]

Germany’s progressive death metal masters OBSCURA complete their long-running, four-album conceptual circle with the release of Diluvium (defined as a great oceanic flood), their most evocative, diverse and vibrant release to date. Recorded with longtime producer V. Santura (Triptykon, Pestilence) at Woodshed Studios in Landshut, Germany, Diluvium is a stunning achievement for the illustrious quartet and a landmark release for progressive metal as a whole. Complete with all the band's signature elements plus groundbreaking polyrhythms, dramatic songwriting, and jaw-dropping virtuosity, OBSCURA raise the bar once again with an album that will go down in the annals of metal history as one of the most astonishing performances the genre has to offer.

HOPEFULLY, "DILUVIUM" WILL BE THE BEST OF OBSCURA'S ALBUMS...

[@Mothlover69]

rockmanhunter not really, they don't sound like atheist at all. Try listening to horrendous

[@Mat-zt4bi]

You juste mean death prog...obv

[@lashedandscorned]

@@Mat-zt4bi A mixture between tech and prog death. They're pretty fucking innovative/original compared to a lot of other bands.

[@rockmanhunter]

@@eminunez8319 A masterpiece.

[@TheMetalTris]

I preordered this without hearing a single note. After my order went through and now that university is finished I finally got some time to listen to it and I'm happy to say that my faith was not misplaced. Always will love Obscura.

[@tahmidt]

"Faith was not misplaced" are you a protoss?

[@TheMetalTris]

Hey dude! I've gotta say man, I don't know what a protoss is haha!

[@Ghostman_Willie]

best possible reply goes to you, sir.

[@Ghostman_Willie]

That was directed to Tahmid Tanveer btw lol

[@lorinzaharia7611]

Tahmid Tanveer Whoah thanks dude, you made me reinstall StarCraft for the first time in 2 years :)

[@selimcetiner6122]

Obscura climbing the steps one by one, skill perfection.

[@TheOctoJon]

this is new and exciting, but i wouldnt put it above archspire, first fragment, or cytotoxin.

[@marcusmccabe7712]

+Jonathan Olson well archspire etc are in a different branch of tech death so i find it unfair to compare them

[@selimcetiner6122]

Beyond Creation and a bit Allegaeon maybe

[@allengaleana]

Es interesante escuchar la evolución de estos alemanes pasaditos de rosca. En "Retribution", se nota un acercamiento más a lo 'Death' con los riffs estruendosos y sucios de Kummerer. En "Cosmogenesis", Münzner y Grossman cambian totalmente el estilo de la banda a un adicto sonido más técnico y limpio. Para "Omnivium" sólo se notan ligeros cambios y líricas más instrospectivas. Ya en "Akróasis" Linus y Steffen explotan su potencial logrando una atmósfera más solemne y con tendencia 'speed'. Pero ahora, con el estreno de Diluvium, se esperaba la propuesta del fermattaconservatorioboy de Trujillo (fanático del jazz fusion y funk), y mezclada con la pasadadevergues de Linus y una batería curiosa y distinta de Lanser, estoy que me mojo al escuchar el disco entero una y otra vez.

[@justynfogarty6209]

Every release this band puts out is just absolutely insane... so happy right now!

[@katerinavialpando3620]

Is it just me or do ttheir albums each get better than the last? Like seriously. I bet you money that the next album is going to be even more technical, melodic, and even grander than this one or any of the ones before...bet

[@cedricmissotten]

You're right, it is

[@tdogg1281]

So good. That fretless bass..man Rafael is great!! Obscura is so talented..Never disappointed by them

[@martialmusicman]

I love Rafael Trujillo's writing and playing. To me, new Obscura is catching my ear more than ever.

[@CaptnShred]

Rafael rides those chord changes gracefully. Stoked.

[@astral.soul12]

I will never forget when I saw Obscura perform in Seattle 2018! The best concert

[@cedricmissotten]

This song is an absolute masterpiece.

[@HairyToeKnuckles]

It is so great to hear you guys again!

[@georgigoluke9997]

Album of the year? YESSSS

[@ibaikintana908]

Georgi Golüke your comment and profile image deserve my like, take it sir.

[@eliassimon666]

The new Alkaloid may beg to differ, friend...

[@ibaikintana908]

Elias Simon true, Linus will tell us which one is better😂

[@Shanksftw]

Assuming that it can be counted as better than the new Slugdge, Inferi, Alkaloid, or Rivers of Nihil albums. It's gonna be a hard choice to pick just one

[@MadnessOpus]

Spencer Nelson Wait for Revocation.

[@chrisgreene8611]

3:10 reminds me of Ocean Gateways! After a few listens, this song has really grown on me. I think the production on this album is perhaps Obscura's best

[@jbasti227]

This is already the best part of my week

[@florianedesy2456]

Obscura best album ♡

[@Ningunoninadie]

Brutal!!! Chingones como siempre estos alemanes !!!!

[@MechkanysT]

Already sounds like contender of the year. The sheer consistency of this band is astounding and a breath of fresh air indeed!

[@leavescars1]

whenever i think Obscura won't top their latest album, they do. Thanks for this impeccable music!

[@albeethoven24]

thats the Obscura that I love, this is a badass song, dark and atmospheric and reminded me the Cosmogesis with all great riff from christian muenzner! Epic!

[@andylombana3030]

wowww.... One of my favorite songs

[@jmaytree2061]

Been couting down the seconds until this gets released !

[@RebelQueenAmelia]

jmaytree So what number u down to now?

[@jmaytree2061]

zSharp _ Depends. Can't really say it right now. It depends on when my pre-order arrives though. If it arrives earlier than next friday there are less second to count

[@RioRIFFALL]

solo guitar remind me of Per Nilsson of Scar Symmetry

[@rodrickoftaokingdom1557]

I've officially broke the replay button two years in a row

[@ericwilliams7374]

Wow!!! The band never disappoints!!!

[@aunlassanafernandez1552]

Masterpiece 🔥

[@saranokoi]

Masters of beauty, syncopes and metal 🙏

[@soltar7777]

Holy shit, the guitar and drums are so much more crisp in this recording, the prog elements are also more apparent than any other Obscura release yet, what an incredible track.

[@rob0nemusic369]

The bass player is one of the most inspiring I've seen since a long time

[@trasibleon]

Wow! I was kinda afraid on how it would sound, but it's amazing, pretty brutal, way more straight forward, i would say a very Spawn of Possession esque vibe. The solo... excited to see what more Rafael have under the sleeves, pretty jazzy. Clip was cool too, cosmic sage Steffen got me xD

[@louisfriedrich7285]

Well, Rafael and Sebastian are also Jazz musicians. Both wrote this song so it's pretty obvious that it would have some influences lol.

[@Metalton95]

The chords during the chorus are so catchy (and ominous)! But 2:25 takes the cake in this song. Along with the new Beyond Creation, this is my most anticipated release this year. One song out, and you delivered! Can't wait for Diluvium!!!

[@murderface79]

New Beyond Creation? Where?

[@Metalton95]

Last month, they finished recording their next album! 3 days ago they posted the following: "While we prepare content and announcements for our new album, we still have one more music video of a song from Earthborn Evolution coming up very soon..." So we'll get more news before too long, I hope.

[@AzenBerries]

I'm waiting for this, new Revocation, Beyond Creation and Artificial Brain. One fun year to wait 😂

[@Metalton95]

I honestly didn’t expect Diluvium to arrive so soon, so I’m pleasantly surprised! And I can still put on a few songs from the new Bloodshot Dawn, Inferi, Rivers of Nihil and last years Cytotoxin record, while waiting for Obscura, BC, Ritual Aura, etc Tech death makes every year worthwhile!

[@humanzyx]

don't tell me none of you know about the new Alkaloid dropping this month!

[@waltergarau9810]

today is the day!! let's buy it!!!

[@luizedgar99]

The most beautiful music I ever heard in 25 years of life.

[@torczak111]

this is just perfect in every possible way

[@suwannidudan8956]

No one can do better. 😍

[@justlech3491]

It gives me chills everytime i listen to Obscura. It feels like i'm transcending to the infinite, releasing me from my mortal bonds. Looking god(cosmos) in the eyes. Mindfuck and eargasm at the same time. Fucking awesome.

[@carlossouza94]

Fantastic Musicians!!! The musical quality of this band is amazing!!

[@jonathanhartman1799]

It has taken me nearly a year to come to terms with the fact that there will never be anything written that can top this and I'm absolutely fine with that.

[@Metalton95]

I envy you! I HATE this song, and always skip it whenever I hear the album - often starting with Mortification - An Epilogue to Infinity and then Clandestine Stars - Emergent Evolution. The title track here is so forgettable to me :(

[@jonathanhartman1799]

Sucks for you, man. This shit is a fucking masterpiece.

[@AlejandroRasmussen7]

What a MIX!!!

[@SHINIGAMX]

my body's not ready for this OMGGGGGGGGG Let the Prog be redesigned

[@wilfordgrimley4339]

I saw them on a boat

[@Wrathofkala]

Mind blowing brilliance. An amazing leap forward. The VIDEO was super as well. Extremely impressed.

[@Bones12x2]

This song and A Home by Rivers of Nihil are on constant repeat for me. So good.

[@troypetrova4833]

First time listening to obscura... This is perfect \m/

[@cf3ful]

Jesteście niesamowici !

[@sinnersmetal]

Ja, GEIL!!!!!! War vorher alles so nich mein Ding, aber jetzt knallts ordentlich! Angekommen, würde ich sagen. Hoffe der Rest drückt genauso. Greetz Eric & SINNERS BLEED

[@AleArzMusic]

Technically speaking, this is an insanely high quality production. What a record! ☺

[@Michael_Michaels]

Bring it on!! I'm always ready to a new Obscura release!!!!

[@gmanthatguy3937]

Just got home from seeing them on their first night of their Diluvium World Tour. They absolutely killed. In order of performance: Anisoptera, Exist, Inferi, Archspire, Beyond Creation, and Obscura. Every group ripped it up tonight. I think Archspire won best performance. Obscura has the deep catalog of songs, but Archspire whipped the crowd into a frenzy. Most fierce pit I've seen in a long time. Made the pit at the recent Slayer concert look like a cake walk at an old folk's home.

[@thezztop666]

Awesome!!!

[@costantinoandruzzi2219]

This is a flood (i.e., diluvium) of supreme tech death metal mastery!

[@JeremiasDK]

KILLER!! I love it!! Great to hear some new music from you guys! Also - awesome video!

[@MrJoby666]

This track make me feel like I'm touching the wall of sky.... great job always..... obcura rules.... gonna get this cd soon...

[@slavicobelrus2466]

Omg dates And tickets

[@1984xeper]

Wow Obscura really gets better with each album, i can rarely say that about any band. Still technical as hell but way more variation and catchiness (in a good way).

[@ammazingbllack207]

That's what The Faceless would be like if it wasn't for Keene''s addiction !

[@tubandt84]

Ammazing Bllack i don't think so and why should they? I don't need two bands that sound the same.

[@ammazingbllack207]

I didn't say that's what the Faceless would sound like, i said would be like and by that i mean the same dedication and line up stability !

[@eternalautarchy5415]

Pretty good! Can't wait for the full length release!

[@coyday]

These guys are becoming too perfect. Please spare some room to grow for the next album!

[@wagr2226]

MASTERPIECE !!!!

This is so sweet!!!!... can't wait to get the full album

[@kirbymun]

This is absolutely amazing! Can't wait to hear all of it!

[@livingaftermidnight]

Absolutely love the chorus on this track. The solo reminds me of Per from Scar Symmetry at times. Very cool.

[@dropbearrc9819]

Will keep this on repeat for awhile 🤘😎🤘

[@ancientgalaxy7697]

Thats a great solo

[@andygarciadarkrus9692]

Holy shit this band is wonderful! Every song is a masterpiece, I love this song as well
