The fretless kind.

[@pablocuello4184]

amen to that my friend

[@8man943]

I live for the "muwah" bass tone.

[@lurking162]

The Necrophagist influence is so apparent. I love it.

[@Janxa54]

Also highly death influenced

[@lurking162]

Janxa54 Yeah, agreed.

[@CWojcieszak]

+The_Lurking _Fear That may be because Hannes, the drummer, was Necrophagist's drummer before joining Obscura to record this album and Omnivium.

[@DoggoWillink]

Christian Muenzner wrote half the solos on Epitaph, including the title track.

[@DoggoWillink]

Hannes actually had less to do with Necrophagist writing since Suicmez was pretty adamant about writing the songs. Christian had more input on Epitaph than Hannes did since he wrote his solos. Hannes became heavily involved with writing songs in Obscura, which is even more apparent in Omnivium. I don't see any big resemblance to Necrophagist in Obscura tbh, other than very obvious things; one being the genre, the other being the things mentioned already (Omnivium even less so). I could see the technicality being something that people find a similarity, and Christian was still sweeping and using his hand normally here so it does still sound like his stuff on epitaph in many ways. However he also expanded his usage of techniques and had more of a free reign to use things like major progressions that normally wouldn’t be heard in this music (not then, they are now all over).

[@joshuasalgado4694]

I’d love to see obscura and beyond creation tour together. That would honestly be one of the best shows ever.

[@yousefbhacker8160]

Choir of Spirits -The lead guitar riffs on top of the rhythm section and the bass during the last part of the solo Universe Momentum -Anticosmic Overload on crack! Way faster and more intense + that groove before the acoustic part Incarnated!!! -The best Death song since Chuck passed away! The melody is so climatic and the tempo changes are SO Spiritual Healing Noospheres!!! -Dat atmosphere, one of Obscura's best 'slower' and melancholic songs! Centric Flow!!! -A tech death masterpiece and a great climax to close the album

[@blaidd666]

Infinite Rotation -The absolute masterpiece of composition this track an organized chaos. Can't even begin of how good this song is. Desolate Spheres -The shortest song it changes up the pace for the other half of the album the riffs and the trading rhythmic pattern of 16th notes, triplets it's soo groovy. Cosmogenesis -Out of nowhere straight up banger, title track stands out like all of these songs they sound so original and fresh but with a sense of familiarity. Towards the ending of the solo it modulates every two seconds. ABSOLUTE INSANITY.

CLASSIC

[@RebelQueenAmelia]

This would not exist without African American spirituals. That always blows my mind. For the uninitiated, African American spirituals evolved into Gospel, Blues, and Rock and Roll in the late 1800s to early-mid 1900s. Rock and Roll and Blues would fuse into Blues Rock in the 50s and 60s. Heavy metal was born out of that, and the rest is history.

[@Finn-gx6ir]

@@RoTheCrow its kinda rare to find black people at venues. compared to all the other races you'll find. one time i was walking home from school and a black person came up to me and called me a racist for just wearing my jacket. i just walked away without saying anything. but the most black people i find at metal shows are like 5 maximum. im not trying to hurt your feelings or anything like that but thats what ive seen so far. then some people say metal music is racist so that makes metal heads easy targets to attack because everyone thinks they're racists. im not even white man and i got called a white supremacist which is dumb as fuck. ive seen skinheads at black metal shows and some of em were not friendly so i guess they got a point but still they can't just target every metalhead.
