German technical/progressive death metal masters, Obscura, have just shared a stream of "The Origin Of Primal Expression”, the deluxe CD-only bonus track from their brand-new record Akroasis.

Steffen Kummerer commented on the track: "“The Origin Of Primal Expression" shows the title track of our new album stripped down to only one acoustic guitar and is meant to give a slight insight behind the scenes of writing an Obscura song. The two main themes show that certain Death vibes are still present and audible within the multilayered song structures we work with. The bonus tracks on Akroasis are a gesture of gratitude to everyone who purchases physical copies of the record. Music, lyrics and artworks together build an album and create a certain vibe and flair within the songs that is barely comprehensible with a few files stored on a hard disc."

Obscura will provide direct support in Europe for Death DTA on the European Thought Patterns tour this March and April. The tour kicks off in just one week in Rome, Italy, and runs through April 13th in Tallinn, Estonia.
