Obscura Reveals New Album "Akróasis"

It has been five years since the release of Obscura's "Omnivium" album (reviewed here). Now the progressive metal masters return with "Akróasis" (Greek for "hearing" or "listening") - check out a trailer and the artwork below.

"Akróasis" will be released February 5, 2016 via Relapse Records. The album will be available in CD, 2xLP and digital download formats. Steffen Kummerer had this to say:

"With 'Akróasis,' 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 Akróasis 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 eight songs and was produced by the band and V. Santura (Triptykon, Pestilence). The track listing is:

1. Sermon of the Seven Suns
2. The Monist
3. Akróasis
4. Ten Sepiroth
5. Ode to the Sun
6. Fractal Dimension
7. Perpetual Infinity
8. Weltseele
9. Melos (Deluxe Vinyl Bonus Track)
10. The Origin of Primal Expression (CD Bonus Track)
