German technical death metal band founded in 2002 by guitarist/vocalist Steffen Kummerer and drummer Jonas Baumgartl. Obscura toured as support for Suffocation on their European tour in 2006 and independently released their debut album Retribution the same year. After several line-up changes Steffen Kummerer got backed up by a new team of musicians. Late 2007 Obscura announced drummer Hannes Grossmann (ex-Necrophagist) and fretless bassist Jeroen Paul Thesseling (ex-Pestilence) as new permanent members. Early 2008 the new line-up was completed by Christian Müenzner (ex-Necrophagist) as a permanent guitarist. Next stable line-up for albums Akróasis and Diluvium, and the respective tours, featured Rafael Trujillo on guitars, Linus Klausenitzer on bass and Sebastian Lanser on drums. In 2020 they were replaced by Münzner, Thesseling and David Diepold, respectively.
