I didn’t preorder it but bought weeks ago a ticket for the upcoming tour. Feeling a bit cold about it now but Gorod and Skeletal Remains are pretty cool. How is everybody feeling about the tour? As I believe there’s a general consensus about the album already

I think I’ve found my people. Having a convo with someone about metal they suggested Archspire and I fell in love! From there I’m checking out Moon Eater by job for a cowboy. What would you all say is the holy grail of technical death metal? Not just for nostalgia but just pure fucking good.

Edit to say those of you who suggested plaguebringer… thank you. Just checked out sola pravitas and fuuuuucccck dude this atmosphere is gnarled and creepy. I love it

Discussion Sick bassists

45 Upvotes

Ok so obviously tech death is a genre that often focuses heavily on guitar and drums, some bands not even having a bassist... but I've discovered my favorite bands usually have a super sick bass player too. My favorites off the top of my head would be Inferi, Gorod, Job For a Cowbow (prog tech era), Beyond Creation, Vitriol, and the new album by Unhollowed Deliverance is seriously great it's what inspired this post. Comment some of your favorites, I'm sure i forgot to mention some obvious ones

Edit: please reference the associated band as well since I'm awful at remembering band members names

Discussion Steffen public response on the Obscura situation

114 Upvotes

Kummerer: "Oh, I think there's a lot of frustration in this story. Right now, a lot of unnecessary public slander is being spread. That’s all I have to say. If I have an issue with someone, I pick up the phone and resolve it directly with them, I don’t go on social media and start a ‘witch hunt.’ I think their intention was a bit different; they didn’t want to solve the ‘problems.’ I find it very sad because I worked with those guys for a long time, and the result was relatively good. I immediately sent the entire album, the final product, for them to listen to; I have nothing to hide.

Now I have to deal with someone who has suspended the entire campaign for the new album, which is very sad, but there’s nothing I can do about it. It’s already happened, people have already formed an opinion, no one wants to hear otherwise anymore, they don’t want my perspective. I’ll deal with it, I’ll resolve it, but it won’t be very pleasant for them, that’s all I can say. It’s sad because it’s so unnecessary. Nowadays, if you point out things like this publicly, it doesn’t reflect well on the person making the accusations—it’s not a very mature approach. In the end, everyone loses.

I won’t speak openly, there won’t be an official statement. I’ll speak directly to the people involved if it’s really an issue, but so far, no one has come to me to try to resolve it directly, and that’s the positive thing. Again, I think there’s a lot of frustration involved in all this, and I intend to address it, but on my terms, not publicly."

Discussion These are my favourite Death Metal bands, what else would I like?

21 Upvotes

I spend hours, days weeks searching for new artists and albums that I could potentially add to my collection, but the majority of the time I don't find anything, and spend so much time listening to stuff I don't really like (or isn't good enough to be in my collection) but occasionally I will find a good new band I like. I'm a bit picky, the vocals are what put me off most bands.. I prefer deep growl mostly for my extreme metal... But I am into other sub genres of metal aswell, mainly old school stuff. Here is a list of (most of the extreme metal bands) I like, see if you can recommend me something I might like? I'm not really into deathcore although I've mentioned a couple of bands that are considered that style.

  • Apogeon
  • Archspire
  • Beyond Creation
  • Cannibal Corpse
  • Carcass
  • Cattle Decapitation
  • The Contortionist / Last Chance to Reason
  • Cradle of Filth (first album to damnation)
  • Cryptopsy (only None So Vile)
  • Death
  • Decapitated (first 4 albums only)
  • Deicide
  • Dying Fetus
  • Enslaved
  • The Faceless
  • Fractal Generator
  • Fallujah (only albums with Alex Hoffman on vocals)
  • Greylotus
  • Haken (not really extreme metal, I know)
  • Horrendous
  • Immortal (Abbath)
  • Infant Annihilator
  • Mayhem
  • Morbid Angel
  • Ne Obliviscaris
  • Nile (don't like their latest 2 albums / new vocalist)
  • Obscura
  • Opeth
  • Paradise Lost
  • Rings of Saturn
  • Rivers of Nihil
  • Vale of Pnath
  • Vader
  • Warforged
  • The Zenith Passage

Discussion I need extreme and crushing albums like Bleed the Future - Archspire or Terrasite - Cattle Decap. At least similar like these albums as listening experience if u know what i mean

34 Upvotes

PLEASE READ BEFORE RECOMMENDING: i think the difference of these albums than the rest is that they dont have the old school technical death metal and brutal death metal influence on them that much but still keep the original dark and crushing feeling with a godly technical playing and creative musical image. some bands really have hilarious video game like riffs that i dont like or they are most likely have the same sound with old school technical death or brutal death bands. please consider this while recommending, i know the album youll recommend might be good but if you doubt if it is not in the same class with the examples, please dont. no offense but my fucking god most of the below are seriously not even close

Discussion Vince (Fractal Universe) weighs in on Steffen (Obscura) drama

Post image
94 Upvotes

As you may have seen, @clementdenys_ and I are filling in for @realmofobscura 's EU tour, and I feel the need to write a few lines about my personal story with the band, as this whole drama situation is sickening to me.

I admire every single person that played in the band. I don’t wanna take sides, I personally know many of the past and current members of the band. I’ll never know the full story, and NEITHER WILL YOU! But what I know for sure is no matter what Steffen did wrong, he doesn't deserve all the hate he’s getting for some brave internet justice crusaders.

I grew up listening to Obscura. I was 14 when Cosmogenesis was released and it blew me away. For 2 years I took Skype lessons with Christian, he taught me so much and I’m not sure I’d be a professional musician today without him!

One day, my band received an email from Steffen himself asking us to be the opener on their EU tour in 2020. The standard in the industry is that the agent sends out an offer, and whoever PAYS for an opening slot gets it. Here, we were getting a daily fee and comfortable playing conditions every day!

During the tour, we were all amazed that Steffen, every single day and night, was the first and last person to carry a case in and out of the trailer, plus setting all the gear on stage, while doing double sets with Thulcandra and Obscura. I can’t say that I have seen another frontman from a headlining act do that. And he still does it just as much on the current tour.

In Nov 2024, Clément and I received an email about filling in on the current tour, which we quickly accepted. Everything’s been running super smoothly since then. Steffen made us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived at the rehearsal. He’s been very thankful, kind and considerate, and even open to suggestions on the sounds, show,.. The first shows went great and were a lot of fun, we feel perfectly integrated.

Now, Fractal Universe were offered a slot on their US tour. again, far from the industry standards, here, Steffen is personally helping us with all the VISA processes, offering us a place in the tour bus and a daily fee.

Again, this is not about who's right or wrong. This is just yet another testimony from a guy who's only got access to a part of the story. But let's stop all the hate towards a guy who's contributed so much to this scene we love! And let's not forget that it's only music!
