OBSCURA | "Septuagint" - Official Guitar Playthrough by Steffen Kummerer

[@RealmOfObscura]

Official tablature books available at Sheet Happens www.sheethappenspublishing.com/artists/obscura

[@Rhuzzy_]

do you know if there is any sound guides for getting an awesome tone like you did in this playthrough also is there a guitar tab for this song

[@williamross2579]

Do you have the Bass in notation?

[@IWantaVacation]

THIS IS HOW PLAYTHROUGHS SHOULD BE. no fancy angles, no crazy zooms, no sweeping camera frames. Just exact close ups of what is be played. Focusing on what we want to see at certain riffs. Perfect.

[@Bitchfinder_General]

And no bongs.

I appreciate that you actually did a playthrough instead of a mime-through!

[@christophercarson7733]

I hope you guys come to Portland Oregon that show was fckn brutal asf I was a loyal fan afterwards

[@giuliom4886]

Thanks to Obscura I got into progressive/technical death metal. I am surprised that they are not more famous.

[@eglantinefrancoisg.9243]

Same as you! I was familiar with prog metal but not tech death. Obscura are masters in that genre, can't wait to see them live when this f***in virus will allow us to do so. Keep safe and keep it metal \m/

[@lashedandscorned]

@@eglantinefrancoisg.9243 I really hope they come to Gothenburg sometime. And hopefully bring Beyond Creation and Virvum or Alkaloid with them.

[@JordanSaenz76]

listen to the band death if you haven't already

[@desolaramusic]

what a surprise with Steffen doing the Christian's solos!

[@charmanfer]

Christian Hëffner :o

[@davidgarcia6796]

Christian Hëffner I heard in an interview that he records everything (even solos) on one song, and then Rafael does the same for other songs on diluvium

[@davidgarcia6796]

He also plays this solo live

[@Thvcgbcb]

Steffen is the absolutely talent.

[@SpectralResonanze]

Wow!! Steffen has a very nice phrasing!! he nailed every bit of the song!! awesome!

[@felinecro3647]

oh men, this song, this has been my inspiration in hard moments of my life since 2012 and finally came this moment :')

[@onzy00]

Indubitably impressive, but I think I would have liked it more if you played the intro too, it's one of the best acoustic riffs I've ever heard.

[@onzy00]

*had played. I think.

[@operaticandroid459]

Oh my Steffen.....

great name and pic!

[@franciscoalbertocabreracar6475]

My first time listening to this song on the album, I was absolutely blown away and had on repeat for the better part of a year. Finding this playthrough amplifies the impact this has had on me 1000 fold. Truly one of the greatest compositions ever written!

[@postmoderncondition3353]

I am practicing this song since a year now and I still struggle at the main riff, thanks for the upload :)

[@MutilatedMetalhead]

That acoustic! OH MY GOD.

[@nicknenashev3407]

Listen it every time at last ten years, and always think,that didn't hear anything better. Obscura-you are the Great!

[@adeptusmechanicus1029]

Incredibly fluid and economical playing.

[@Tikus_90]

I love how it looks like he recorded it in 2011, same lighting and all, this song is fucking amazing, and i probably watch the vortex omnivium playthrough almost every week, lol. Im requesting playthroughs for: universe momentum, cosmogenesis, euclidean elements and velocity(just rythm), weltseele.

[@LadyEvil88]

rhythm guitarists live often in the shadow of the lead ones. I think he deserves recognition. not to mention that he sings while playing this.

[@R3tr0v1ru5]

@@LadyEvil88 Obscura is all leads 😂 Steffan gets so much disrespect from Muenzner fan boys.

[@kevinfidler8074]

You guys are AMAZING guitarists! For the longest time Emperor and At The Gates were my 2 favorite bands. Now Obscura and Inferi are

[@matthewws5694]

Steffan. Thank you for this. Greatest Song in the universe

[@davidjenson1570]

I'm amazed at how effortlessly it seems that these guys play the guitar. Awesome guitar playing, and the electric guitar is awesome looking! :)

[@clementbourmaud1124]

so beautifully played!! the solo literally blew me away

One of my favorite song and he made it look easy to play

[@tenhundredkills]

He makes this look so easy...

[@lashedandscorned]

@@stevieholland3579 I learned it, and holy fuck the main riff was so hard to get down when I started. Now I know how to play the entire song, and the effort paid out. I've improved in basically everything by learning the rythm guitar. And it's damn fun to play too.

[@stevieholland3579]

@@lashedandscorned Yeah, that main riff is a bitch. Took like two weeks to get down. When he end the main riff section, just before the main verse, that gave me a lot of problems for a bit. Starting to get it, but damn. I wish I could write stuff this bad ass and not just cover it. Steffan is probably my favorite player right now. I so wish he gave lessons lol

[@lashedandscorned]

@@stevieholland3579 Christian Müenzer is probably the dude that wrote the riff. Both are great guitarists.

[@lashedandscorned]

@@stevieholland3579 I mean, the riffs in the song sound very bach-like, and Christian loves Bach. The main riff is harmonized aswell.

[@stevieholland3579]

@@lashedandscorned You are correct. In the tab book it states that Christian and Steffan merged two songs together. Hannes made the epic intro. Just noticed that. Apparently the song took them a long time to finish

It's not really the object of attention here but just wanted to point out wow that's a really pretty acoustic.

[@Wrathofkala]

Love me some Obscura. Honestly, these guys are the modern day DEATH IMO. They sound nothing like DEATH, but they have their own place. Just keeps getting better.

[@xenochrist4286]

Listen to Decrepit Birth. I literally feel like they could be Death in 2020

[@lashedandscorned]

It's always exciting to see you Steffen performing another solo by Christian again please do more play through for the cosmogensis and omnivium records! Also if you can do play throughs for the retribution album! Also do more akroasis play throughs with Rafael do Fractal Dimensions next if you can that song is awesome!

All the chords the solos etc. You are one of my favorites bands and this song i think it's my favorite cause this is the first song i've ever heard. Thank you for the amazing music, hope to see you soon in my city again (Monterrey México). :D

[@AAAA-lt9hq]

Chuck Schuldiner would be proud of this because it carries Chuck's sound in Death and influence on to the next generation. Steffen Kummerer is the spiritual younger brother/son of Chuck, and I'm sure Steffen would be proud of the association.

[@rpmvicmetal8468]

I had ever wanted know how to play velocity from omnivium

[@isaacdissonance3967]

VICTOR URIEL MARTINEZ PEREZ best track of omnivium

[@matiasmunozbalmer5838]

Can we get a bass play through next

[@samcomply]

This is beautiful.

[@tommyfriedrich9258]

And beautiful guitar what Brand??_

[@AProperBurial]

Awesome! Love seeing Steffen play some Omnivium material - buuut hands and guitar track aint matching up at 1:40 and 5:22. Tsk tsk

[@Tikus_90]

im pretty sure hes playing most of his parts only, that other melodic bit is muenzer's.

[@AProperBurial]

Sure. but still in those sections his hands are doing something different than what either guitar is doing in the song.

[@mattiadibiase1408]

If you look and listen closely he plays the guitar you here at the left side, and its spot on! Its some sort of riff with short arpeggios that he makes very smoothly :)

[@rexrosal1863]

You are correct. According the first official guitar tab book (there are 2 versions of the book, the first book bound and then the spiral bound version released a few years later) released by the band, they indicate who plays what part. Christian does indeed play the melodic arpeggio during that part where is Steffen is fast double picking. It probably would have helped if Steffen got Rafael to participate in the video so we all didn't have to "decipher who's playing what and when". LOL. Overall, I'm happy Steffen decided to release a video for this song.

[@DoggoWillink]

Still their best song to me, with Celestial Spheres up there too.

[@petethegreek8933]

Omnivium IMO is their best album, Christian is a musical titan. He is a substantial addition to any band. You can feel his impact, Cosmogenesis was great and i love it but this is just on another level, and the next two albums you could hear the cynic/ death influence. Edit: typo

[@lashedandscorned]

@@petethegreek8933 Did you know that Christian and Jeroen are back in the band? And that they finished recording everything a while ago? I can't fucking wait for the next album.

[@lukedavies6646]

Try playing the riffs in Chapter II or Titan by Jason Richardson. I've never attempted either of the songs you mentioned so i could be underestimating them, but the JR riffs make them appear to be a walk in the park in comparison.
