OBSCURA | "Vortex Omnivium" - Live at Way of Darkness Festival 2011

[@RothBeyondTheGrave]

One of very few modern extreme bands that isn't some half-assed, rehashed version of something that was done 100% better 10-20 yrs ago. Such a great lineup during this era too. Look forward to what's coming next!!

[@Sooth0]

agreed but in my opinion Retribution and Cosmogenesis (especially Retribution) sound a lot like Death + Cynic + modern style of tech death, but if we're talking about Omnivium, Akroasis and Diluvium, then yeah I 100% agree

[@davidgarcia6796]

@@Sooth0 to be fair in Retribution and Cosmogenesis they were still really trying to find their sound, but yeah Steffen even says that he takes a ton of influence out of those bands and he even said that everything he writes is almost a copy of deaths music haha

[@_J.L_]

very well put, totally agree. new metal is a bit hit and miss but this really is timeless material.

[@qffgodoy]

Juanes in vocals/guitars is so amazing!

[@REIDOPLANETA]

How absolutely ridiculously good everyone is in this band consistently through the years is just mindboggling.

[@antgeozzz]

Insane performance.

[@jasonfreakinbang]

How about a DVD or Bluray release of the anniversary show?

[@fatkraken3140]

look at that clean solo !

[@esportesenegociosbr]

Obscura in Brazil. Pleaseeeeee!!!!

[@RockBarnRecords]

Dat fretless bass tho, so much awesomeness

[@danielluiz4224]

One of the bands with technical sound you ability of the musicians and they make it appear to be such a simple and easy execution more easy has nothing to simply splendid music.

[@giliardi1761]

Awesome live performance ⚡🥁🎸🎛️

[@deathmetalsl]

Christian is seriously on another level.

[@RÅNÇIÐ]

Holy damn, that's incredibly well recorded especially for 2011.

[@Staniel42]

that's because it's the album sound

[@dregonskreper7609]

yea this isnt the live audio, saw instances where his lip movements didnt match the screams I heard.

[@uroboric]

@@Staniel42 that's def not the album sound

[@TheBrianna4555]

It's not live audio. This is re-recorded 100%. For example, at 2:44 Christian slides his hand down the fingerboard without touching the volume knob mid-riff and there's no sound. At 1:52 he does a pinch harmonic that's still ringing out as his hands/fingers lift completely off the strings to start the tapping run. How? It's dubbed. Love this band and they're constantly on the listening rotation, but the guitar playing is pretty sloppy live (especially these days) in comparison to this clip or the actual albums. It's very difficult material so I cut them some slack but it can be pretty rough if you go to see them and expect a masterclass. They even cut out entire sections of songs, the first track of the new album comes to mind. Cut like a full minute or two from the song live. Disappointing.

[@juliandeal93]

@@TheBrianna4555I think he used his foot pedal here to mute his guitar because his part was over.

[@_J.L_]

incredible Intro. this definitely was the best “O” line up. really tight

[@ocaradojrock]

OBSCURA ON KNOTFEST BRASIL 2021!

[@Hip-Gnosis1134]

I’ve only been able to see obscura live once, and unfortunately they were missing steffen from the line up. Guess he was stuck in Canada while he had issues with his visa. Was bitter sweet, cause as much as I would have loved to see them at full capacity, we were able to see the other vocalists from the tour do guest fill in vocals in his absence. Watching the guys from beyond creation do vocals was awesome!! 🤘

[@curiouscanteloupe]

The one time I've seen them live they said Steffen was stuck in the US because he lost his passport... (I'm in Canada)

[@normanplante2716]

Hey i was at that show! That was super sick

[@shanelarsen695]

Duuuude I was at that Vancouver show, Beyond Creation vocals of Obscura? we witnessed such a crazy crossover lol

[@METALLiCMETALLEr]

[@joshuawerner3074]

Steffen using a Ibanez this must have been when is Ran broke on him! So cool to see this video upload Vortex Omnivium one of your best songs Guys!

[@barunafas]

amazing performance..,good audio quality audio..thanks obscura..

[@Metalton95]

Yay, glad to see another upload from this gig! I need high quality uploads from your live shows, especially that 15 year anniversary show!!! I already timestamped the setlists on too many low-quality uploads..

[@lashedandscorned]

I agree. We need more high quality recordings of live shows. Imagine if they uploaded Ekpyrosis or Celestial Spheres like this.

[@Metalton95]

@@lashedandscorned I didn't even know they ever played Ekpyrosis live?! Would LOVE to hear that solo and the guitar harmonies live, and I definitely agree to wanting more quality live uploads, since they have them stored! Also, "hello there", again-again-again-again. Not too odd, when it's on an Obscura video, but your timing is excellent, my Diluvium shirt just arrived today! :)

[@lashedandscorned]

@@Metalton95 Well shit they actually haven't played Ekpyrosis live. I hope they'll do it sometime (preferably on a show in my city xd). Congrats on your shirt arriving. Is it the longsleeved version? hello again-again-again-again xd

[@Metalton95]

@@lashedandscorned Nah, the "world tour T-shirt" with symmetrical patterns around the artwork :) It's been too long for me, to finally get a shirt from them, considering they're one of my top 10 favourite bands, haha.

[@lashedandscorned]

@@Metalton95 Nice. I have the world tour longsleeve. It has stuff on the back and on the arms aswell.
