Obscura recently set Cosmogenesis as the title of it's upcoming album.
The group have signed with Relapse Records and have completed the recordings for their second full-length album, to be released in early 2009.
Cosmogenesis features guest appearances from Ron Jarzombek (WATCHTOWER, SPASTIC INK, BLOTTED SCIENCE) and Tymon Kruidenier (CYNIC, EXIVIOUS).
"The new album sounds very intense and brutal", the band says in a statement.
Obscura will also headline the Munich Deathfest on November 8th and is preparing for more touring in the New Year.
Obscura was founded in 2002 by guitarist/vocalist Steffen Kummerer. After several lineup changes mastermind Kummerer got backed up by a new team of virtuoso 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 lineup was completed by Christian Muenzner (ex-NECROPHAGIST) as permanent guitarist.
