Obscura announce new live album ‘A Celebration I – Live In North America’
OBSCURA have announced a new live album!
Titled A Celebration I – Live In North America, the upcoming album from the German progressive death metal band is the follow-up to 2021’s A Valediction, and is scheduled to be released in October this year, via Nuclear Blast Records.
Mixed and mastered by award-winning producer and engineer Fredrik Nordström, in Gothenburg, Sweden, where band mastermind Steffen Kummerer collaborated with him for one week on the live material. The recordings were all made in the USA, Canada and Mexico between 2022 and 2023 as part of the A Valediction World Tour.
Speaking about the upcoming live album, band mastermind Steffen Kummerer comments, “A Celebration I – Live In North America covers a selection of concerts we performed in the United States of America, Canada and Mexico between 2022 and 2023 as part of the A Valediction World Tour. Within 20 years, we are looking towards the first live album of OBSCURA, spiked with songs of our last five releases. It was a pleasure working through every recorded show to pick the best song, the loudest possible audience and a stellar performance by a band that’s on fire. As a first impression, we choose The Anticosmic Overload performed in the United States of America, since this was the first song ever we performed in North America back in 2009.”
Alongside the announcement of the new live album, the band have released a new live video for the track The Anticosmic Overload. The new live video was filmed by Vincent Grundke, who has been accompanying the band as a videographer and photographer since 2021.
