Lyrics:
Annihilate, accelerate, surge into cold pristine state
Invisible radiation, everlasting desecration
Profane sun, pervading light, splendor burst to virgin dust
Revelation, restitution, a riven covenant
Arise nocturnal star, into the void of eternal light
From brume into renascence, emergent evolution
Perennial aeonic divine eclipse
Arise - light of shining bliss
Divine - night in cosmic abyss
Devastate, discreate, putrefied and liquefied
Separation, isolation, final dissolution
Celestial spheres, a pallid flame, repulsive procreation
Manifestation, adumbration, luminous in radiance
Arise celestial bliss, into the void of divine essence
As a swarm into renascence, emergent evolution
Concentric primordial subsistence reborn
Arise - light of shining bliss
Divine - night in cosmic abyss
Recreate, generate, turning into supreme black light
Ethereal abomination, artificial entity
Profane sun, pervading light, splendor burst to virgin dust
Revelation, restitution a riven covenant - arise
Music 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.

This Is amazing sublime video

[@eh3253]

I haven’t listened to this album much. Fucking rocks!!! I love it.

Now, this video with Steffen alone makes MUCH more sense

I cannot express in words how much I love this band. I'm glad that they get the recognition they deserve, at least within the metal community.

[@florencianightwish236]

same, yes

[@xenomorph2056]

The effect on the clean vocals is just so fucking cool!! So unique. And it adds to Obscura's already ethereal atmosphere so well!!

[@dominicross96]

I like the backing clean vocals. They sound similar to Paul Masvidal from Cynic's Focus.

Fusion: Cynic+Death= Obscura 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🇧🇷💪🏼🍺

i would say CYNIC music, with the typical robot vocals effects and some of the classic guturals style of the canadian death thrash and prog metal band OBLIVEON as well.

[@erradate6425]

That moment ive already listened to this track 1 million time and à vidéo version comes out AH SHIT HERE WE GO AGAIN

[@worminator2334]

They did a phenomenal job on the video here. It’s like he’s on Mars or something. Makes sense when you read a lot of their song titles. Definitely a sci-fi metal vibe and I freaking love it. Definitely one of the best metal bands I’ve ever seen. I love the spaced out vocals too

[@hehebwoai3056]

They deserve a Grammy but unfortunately the mainstream music world is complete trash 🗑 glad we have good taste in music and talent. A lot of garbage musicians making a lot of money they don’t deserve out there. Boo

[@stefcrustofski518]

[@1431darkblood]

Thank Obscura for your support and your team. I love your creativity and respect your performance in art. You are the most beautiful Astonishing and unique group band I ever known. I wish that more people have the same passion as you. Your music and lyrics have inspired me to be more patience more open minded more educated and emotional with my life. I Love you guys I hope you never stop creating masterpieces like this. ❤ 🇵🇷

[@radeneki]

Idk i just love your Cosmogenesis and Omnivium album. And i still listen those song today. Who agree with me?

[@Metalton95]

Seems like Steffen's living a long lost dream of being an actor?

[@Meksgehere]

of falling over hills lol. Love the music but the way he portrays himself is kinda disturbing xD

[@Metalton95]

Lucas Still I love the scenery, but I hoped to see the entire band.. also weird that they make a 2nd video for Emergent Evolution, and still haven’t made a music video for Convergence, The Conjuration or Ekpyrosis..?

Another reason to love Obscura.

[@TapYouOut81]

Somewhere, Cynic is smiling and listening to this.

[@sirleviatandoom]

that's right.

[@crestfallen821]

I love how so many people instinctively move in a certain spectrum of bands when listening to prog tech death. It's so nice to be able to see the connections from early Cynic, Death, Necrophagist to modern bands.

[@servinthusvlog5327]

Ahahahaha.love this genre and the melodic death metal

[@ericwilliams7374]

I would say Death and newer Gorguts than anything else.... because that is mainly who they were influenced by. Even their name is from a Gorguts album.

[@LyrsideBand]

I can mostly hear Death (Steffen is Chuck direct descendant), Cynic, Gorguts, Atheist, Necrophagist... also a bit of Dissection (we all know Steffen love swedish melodic blach-death metal) and 90s swedish melodic death metal like the first In Flames or At The Gates in the palm mute riffing. But most important, i can 10000% hear this Obscura, with their own sound. Their are fucking amazing. Not underatted, of course, a lot of people know they are amazing, but dude, Cosmogenesis is now 10 years old, and with that longevity, I can truely say that Steffen is now a Guitar Death metal legend, amongs the Trey Azagthoth, Chuck Schuldiner, Muhammed Suiçmez, Erik Rutan, Paul Masvidal, etc. Greeting from France !

[@tarquinjanis5918]

My favorite music videos tell a good story. Videos are a band's chance to explore their stories visually! Awesome video...and Diluvium is still such a sick record!

[@Phantus00]

Damn, that's some good music.

[@BORN753]

Damn, am I the only one for whom this whole album sounds nostalgic in some way? I mean, chord progressions and these half-solos (like here: 1:17) sound like something from music that was around me in my childhood. I'm curious whether it was done intentionally.

[@Krimson5pride]

It is probably cause a band called Cynic has extensively done this. If you don't know, Cynic is an old band that is known for drawing metal towards progressive scene. If you need to get started, check their track Evolutionary Sleeper from their second album, and things will become apparent to you. Fun Fact : half of the members of cynic were once actively involved with Death, the father of death metal scene.

[@BORN753]

@@Krimson5pride Yeah, I love Cynic's first album and Death's last 3-4 albums. But apperently I was born in '98 in Ukraine, so I think it's 100% I've never heard Cynic's music in my childhood. Actually, "half-solos" remind me of my country's pop-music for some reason. And I really don't know why I think chord progressions sound nostalgic to me, still after 8 month when I first felt it. I think it's really hard to identify.

[@PROJECTJoza100]

Yeah same, I think these metal bands sometimes use some melodies from something else that we can't really pinpoint where.

[@GhostSymptoms]

So, basically the earth dies and remains as deserted as Mars... oh, and Steffen became a god. btw, not that the previous videos of the band were bad, but this one sure is in another level.
