Technical Prog band OBSIDIOUS, has released its brand new single “Under Black Skies”, accompanied by a lyric video. The track is taken from the band’s upcoming debut album, which will be released on October 28th via Season of Mist.
OBSIDIOUS bass player, Sebastian Lanser, comments on the track: ” ‘Under Black Skies’ turned out to be a very complex and demanding tune involving/incorporating multiple meter changes and metric modulations. Regardless of its complexity it has a lot of catchy moments. Our producer V. Santura once said: «’Under Black Skies’ sounds like Dimmu Borgir on steroids.»”
In April 2020, guitarist Rafael Trujillo, bassist Linus Klausenitzer and drummer Sebastian Lanser decided to move on from their former band OBSCURA to continue their musical path with the completely new band OBSIDIOUS. Free from former boundaries, OBSIDIOUS merge Extreme Metal with other genres of music into a unique style that people will somehow find familiar, but haven‘t heard yet. Together with their singer, Javi Perera, they set out to create a musical evolution: With a fresh name, reaching for new fan groups utilizing modern marketing ideas. OBSIDIOUS’ band members have many facets and influences to build upon, using virtuosity & technique to write great songs.
OBSIDIOUS’ music consists of modern riffs, strong decisive energetic melodies, virtuosity and epic unison lines. They love music that’s heavy, catchy, fast, and wild.
