Steffen Kummerer of Obscura: Playing guitar while doing vocals, making it happen, and more

[@deathmetalsl]

Steffen is extremely overlooked and underrated as a musician that plays an instrument and sings simultaneously. How this man plays and sings Obscura material is ridiculous.

[@SheetHappens]

We completely agree, one of the best out there.

[@nicster23]

I caught Obscura live on one of the tour stops for this particular tour. This dude played a whole set playing guitar and screaming with his band Thulcandra before even going on to do a another whole set with Obscura. That's some crazy endurance.

[@adaptercrash]

Sounds like in flames tried to write necrophagist theres no real riffing that makes the singer disposable. Be a man play a real guitar with steel strings. I got one of those, those are cheap nickel string guitars m

[@fortheseven1]

Yet guitar is still out of tune

[@j.pabloquinche3283]

He is not underrated, he is such an asshole

[@Arcnaught]

Revocation shout is well deserved, those guys definitely helped get me into metal with their viral single...

[@soldadoryanbr7776]

Couldn't have Said better about Death! Sound of perseverance was their "final form",perfect album. Also apreciate the love for South America!

[@andreafajardo9816]

Currently one of if not the best musician in the scene. Obscura and Thulcantra live is like a dream!

[@mura_guitar]

I'm glad to hear that his favorite city to play is Tokyo, I'd like to know the reason why he likes though. I've seen Obscura twice in 2018 and 2019 at Shibuya, and they were really outstanding. I hope I can see them again here in Tokyo!

Please transcribe the Death catalogue!

Great questions!

[@lukepletz9075]

Brah, that is the most got DANG metal guitar I ever did see.

[@ramadirangr8797]

That thing ugly

[@justicia8393]

This ESP model (as a 6 string) is originally from the 80‘s called ESP Flying Z , guitar model of Mick Jones (Foreigner)

[@ramadirangr8797]

It's his Ran with an ESP logo

[@justicia8393]

@@ramadirangr8797 …. I know that he had before the same from Ran guitars. Check it out by yourself in google the origin of this shape and model is a copy of "ESP Flying Z from the 80‘s of Mick Jones" (Foreigner). I worked for ESP in the late 80‘s.

[@TerribleTommy]

Did ESP copy the shape from the Hondo Death Dagger? Because the Hondo Death Dagger has the exact same headstock as the ESP in this vid... but Mick Jones' ESP has a different looking headstock.

[@justicia8393]

@@TerribleTommy The Hondo H1 Death Dagger came out later as a copy made in Incheon Korea by Samick.

[@TerribleTommy]

@@justicia8393 That's interesting!

[@tarkus1056]

Hell yeah to the Revocation shoutout. Dave Davidson is stupidly underrated as a guitarist.

[@johnfree2833]

Ojibway rocker digs your technical prowess,Kreator was mentioned and I got hard....at work on my bong tokes...great interview,that guitar looks fckng lethal!

[@1sheldon]

Such a great musician. Love all iterations but Rafael was incredible in the band

[@adamwilliams7354]

Definitely release of death! And your album Omnivium ❤

[@kokobi7482]

great guy, and also one of my fav bands along with thulcandra 🤘

That Hondo Death Dagger shape kicks the s*** out of any BC Rich

[@zabaziomalka]

I would die for a photo and small talk with him ❤

[@JD-vj4go]

Please do the Death catalogue.

[@canman87]

Saw Obscura on their tour with Fleshgod Apocalypse that he mentions at one point in the video. They were absolutely the highlight for me and the biggest reason I wanted to go to the show in the first place (I'd already seen Fleshgod several years prior, plus Obscura is just better in my opinion). And Steffen is absolutely right in saying that Dave Davidson is one of the best guitarists out there right now and has a very unique sound. If you've never listened to Revocation, do yourself a favor and check them out.

[@brandoncharleswhite7893]

Esp makes a death dagger?

[@ostravia]

Your vocals have strengthened : (I drown in gloom!), hits my heart every time. You still suck on guitar though. Play Akroasis live and have the confidence. We Do!

[@inquisidor1]

When my bass book?

[@davecrlo2462]

me gusta que aprecie a los musicos de bandas como Kreator, megadeath y testament, si escuchan sus discos es cierto hay mucha informacion sobre Jazz, fusion y thrash metal y progresivo. son de mis bandas favoritas de escucha y son con las bandas que creci.

[@Everythingwentblack69]

Such a great looking guitar, wish they would give him a signature model for sale

[@kylegrossi8175]

If they released the Death catalog i'd be in for at least 4 of those albums.

You can stab someone with this guitar!

Very surprised to hear that the guitar is balanced out. It must weigh a ton
