OBSCURA will kick-off their first tour in support of their brand new album Omnivium this friday as part of a four-week European tour alongside HATE ETERNAL. This tour also includes BENEATH THE MASSACRE and DEFILED and will be making a stop at the Neurotic Deathfest this weekend in Tilburg. A complete listing of tour dates and cities can be found below.
Omnivium was released in late March, charting in both the U.S. and Germany for first week sales. OBSCURA debuted at #11 on the Billboard Top New Artists or “Heatseekers” chart in the U.S. and at #14 on the official German Newcomers Chart as determined by Media Control. OBSCURA is currently streaming Omnivium in its entirety online now at this location.
Additionally, OBSCURA drummer Hanness Grossman will release his instructional DVD, Progressive Concepts For the Modern Metal Drummer this week.
