OBSCURA releases video for title track "A Valediction"
19-08-2021
OBSCURA will release their new album, “A Valediction”, on November 19 via Nuclear Blast. The album is the follow-up to 2018’s “Diluvium”. The official Mirko Witzki-directed music video for the title track “A Valediction”, is out now.
Watch “Solaris” below.
Mastermind Steffen Kummerer comments the track as follows: “The title track combines past and future to the present. With a combination of virtuosity, catchiness and clear arrangements, “A Valediction” unfolds a bittersweet, fragile temper and sums up the lyrical framework of the entire album. A worthy title track and characterful summit of upcoming concerts.”
The video was shot, once again, just like “Solaris”, with Mirko Witzki and brings back the vibes of late 90’s MTV.

“A Valediction” was mixed and mastered by award-winning producer Fredrik Nordström in Gothenburg, Sweden and thematically deals with final farewells.
Kummerer previously stated about “A Valediction”: “‘A Valediction’ unfolds OBSCURA in its purest form and showcases the band at new heights and offers immediacy with a rather personal touch. We cannot wait to perform this album on stage and celebrate each and every song live with our loyal fans around the globe. This record goes to eleven, so watch out for the first single dropping in July and worldwide tour dates to be announced soon.”
The album, graced by a cover artwork painted by internationally renowned artist Eliran Kantor, will consist of 11 new studio tracks.
