The group’s second (seventh overall) album for Nuclear Blast pivots on many fronts. Advanced, elegant, and yet refreshing, ***A Sonication*** sums up past endeavours 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.

Check out the video for the first single **‘Silver Linings’ **. The opening track of the album is a powerful and melodic song, offering a glimpse into the next chapter of **OBSCURA**´s ever-evolving musical journey.
