With A Sonication, Germany-based metal band OBSCURA launch the second of their trilogy concept. The group’s second (seventh overall) album for Nuclear Blast pivots on many fronts. Advanced, elegant, and yet refreshing, A Sonication sums up past endeavors effortlessly as it gazes with purpose and conviction into the future. OBSCURA are fan-renowned and critically acclaimed for challenging and then expanding upon norms. From Retribution (2004) through A Valediction (2021), the band flourished and made significant progress in a musical genre unprepared for a creative shot of German invention. A Sonication spearheads OBSCURA into a new era of extreme metal.
Lyrically, A Sonication is layered in structure and meaning. The word ‘sonication,’ by definition, is defined as the process in which sound waves are used to agitate the particles in the solutions. In a rather poetic way, interpretations are widely bright from a rational physical point of view, spanning up to a philosophic angle, while each composition manifests a sole episode of Kummerer’s personal life. Connected to the previous album A Valediction, the new epos becomes the logical follow up in the trilogy started in 2021. Lauded artist Eliran Kantor (Testament, Kreator, Hatebreed) was brought on board to visualize the leitmotif. The silver-themed color Kantor used exemplifies OBSCURA’s timeless art from to music and visuals.
