Modern progressive metal outfit OBSIDIOUS is now releasing a brand new performance video for the new single, “I Am.” The track is taken from the band’s upcoming debut album, ‘Iconic,’ which will be released tomorrow, October 28, 2022 via Season of Mist! The video was shot during the band’s performance at the mighty Euroblast festival, which took place in September 2022. The video can be seen at THIS LOCATION.

OBSIDIOUS comments: “The concept of the lyrics of this song is a little more abstract. It is the personification of a feeling speaking to its host, presenting itself and convincing the host to embrace it and ultimately succumb to it. It is like the biblical story of temptation being represented by the devil, but, in this case, without the willpower to resist.”

‘Iconic’ can be pre-ordered on physical formats HERE while you can pre-save the album to all streaming services HERE.

Modern progressive metal outfit OBSIDIOUS is now premiering the official music video for their new song, “Lake of Afterlife,” which is taken from their upcoming debut album, ‘Iconic!’ The video, which gives an intimate behind-the-scenes glimpse of the making of ‘Iconic,’ can be found at THIS LOCATION.

OBSIDIOUS comments, “This song narrates, in first person, the experience of a person whose time has come, but who is being stopped by external factors. And this person just wants to go in peace, that he has accepted his fate and does not want to suffer. It is a situation we have often seen of denial on the part of relatives of a person who is being kept alive, prolonging the inevitable.”

‘Iconic’ is due on October 28 via Season of Mist! The album can be pre-ordered on physical formats HERE while you can pre-save the album to all streaming services HERE.

OBSIDIOUS drummer Sebastian Lanser (OBSCURA, PANZERBALLETT) is now sharing a play-through for the band’s recently released single, “Devotion!” The clip can be seen at THIS LOCATION.

“Devotion” is taken from OBSIDIOUS’ debut full-length, ‘Iconic,’ which is due on October 28 via Season of Mist! The full band play-through of the track can be found HERE.

Lanser comments on the video: “This is my drum play-through of ‘Devotion’ by Obsidious. Another song of which I am really proud! Stylistically, it combines so many elements and perfectly demonstrates the musical textures that represent Obsidious. Drumming-wise, it’s one of the more difficult songs on the album because it combines so many aspects of (metal) drumming. But that’s why I enjoy playing it so much! Hope y’all enjoy it as well.”

Modern progressive metal outfit OBSIDIOUS is now officially launching the pre-sales for their previously announced debut full-length, ‘Iconic,’ which is due on October 28 via Season of Mist!

In conjunction with the album sales start, the band is now revealing a brand new single, “Devotion,” along with a full band play-through video! The clip is available at THIS LOCATION.

OBSIDIOUS comments: “This song is about cults, basing the story on one of the most controversial cases of the late 1970s. In this song there are two distinct voices that reflect the character of each of the protagonists: the raspy voice of the cult leader and the melodic, desperate voice of the follower trying to flee the place.”

Riff master Rafael Trujillo of modern progressive metal outfit OBSIDIOUS is now debuting a brand new new guitar playthrough video for the band’s latest single, “Bound by Fire!” The video can be seen at THIS LOCATION.

The track was originally released as a music video, which can be viewed via the official Season of Mist YouTube channel HERE. 

OBSIDIOUS guitaristRafael comments on the video:

“I’m happy to finally show you the guitar playthrough of our single “Bound by Fire”. I used my Kiesel Osiris 7-string and the Neural DSP Archetype Petrucci guitar plugin. This is the perfect combination for the guitar sound I have always been looking for.”

The track is taken from the band’s upcoming debut album, ‘Iconic,’ which will be released on October 28, 2022 via Season of Mist. Pre-orders for the new album will start soon.

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. 

Rafael Trujillo, Linus Klausenitzer and Sebastian Lanser built a strong bond after years of worldwide touring and recording together with OBSCURA. With their last record “Diluvium”, that was primarily composed by the trio, the band celebrated their biggest success to date. Formerly unseen chart positions alongside massive praise by prominent media outlets & magazines document the success of this team. OBSIDIOUS aims to expand the existing fan base that they’ve gained: All (ex-)formations of the Obsidious members were defined through their musical characters. 

The four band members that are based in Europe are known for their high musicianship and virtuosity. Their advanced technical level is an essential and unique part of their compositions. Guitarist Rafael Trujillo has a multicultural background and studied music in different countries all around the globe. Linus Klausenitzer is one of the busiest session bassists in the scene and renowned for his 7-string fretless bass sound. Strong drum independence skills and stylistic diversity make Sebastian Lanser one of the most influential drummers of the new generation. The web community shares the Ex-Obscura members’ excitement about singer Javi Perera being celebrated for his diverse and charismatic vocal skills.

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. The brand new album is already recorded and will be released via Season of Mist late 2022.
