Obscura have streamed their latest album Akroasis in full ahead of its official launch.
The band’s follow-up to 2011’s Omnivium will be released on February 5 via Relapse Records.
Frontman Steffen Kummerer said: “With Akroasis, we produced our grand opus featuring eight songs of fluent arrangements, odd time signatures never heard before in metal, and the most high end production in the history of the band.
“Without question Akroasis is the heaviest, most complex record we have made to date. We cannot wait to perform live again and bring this excellent music to stages around the globe.”
The album features guitarist Tom Geldschlager, who left the band during recording session back in July. He’s since been replaced by Rafael Trujillo.
