Right then butt… if your day needed a cosmic slap across the chops, Obscura have absolutely delivered.
The German tech-death overlords have unleashed a brand new video for ‘The Sun Eater’ — and it’s less “music video” and more astral-level destruction wrapped in riffs. 🌌🔥
🚀 STRAP IN — THIS ONE’S NOT FOR THE FAINT-NECKED
From the first note, The Sun Eater launches like a rocket straight into your skull:
- 🎸 Riffs sharper than a pint glass at chucking-out time
- 🥁 Drumming that sounds like chaos with a PhD
- 🎤 Vocals dragged straight out of a black hole
- 🧠 Technical madness that makes you question reality itself
This is OBSCURA at full power — precise, punishing, and properly ridiculous (in the best way).
🎥 THE VIDEO — COSMIC CHAOS ON SCREEN
The new video matches the madness perfectly — dark, atmospheric, and dripping in that signature OBSCURA sci-fi-meets-death-metal vibe.
It’s slick, it’s intense, and it’ll leave you thinking:
“Yeah… I’m never learning that riff.” 😅
🌍 TOURING LIKE THEY’VE GOT SOMETHING TO PROVE
Not content with melting faces online, OBSCURA are hitting the road hard.
With Shred Fest 2027 looming, they’re bringing a full-on tech-death assault across Europe and the UK — including:
- 🇬🇧 London
- 🇬🇧 Birmingham
- 🇬🇧 Manchester
- 🇬🇧 Glasgow
- 🇬🇧 Southampton
Neck braces recommended. Seriously. 🤕
🎂 25 YEARS OF ABSOLUTE MADNESS
This all ties into OBSCURA celebrating 25 years of sonic insanity — and instead of slowing down, they’ve decided to go even harder.
Quarter of a century in, and they’re still out here outplaying everyone and making it look easy. Unreal stuff.

🤘 RIFF REPORT VERDICT
This is tech-death perfection with zero chill.
If you like your metal:
- Fast as hell
- Technically outrageous
- Slightly terrifying
- And capable of bending time and space
Then ‘The Sun Eater’ is going straight on repeat.
🔥 FINAL WORD
OBSCURA haven’t just dropped a video…
They’ve dropped a cosmic-level riff nuke.
Turn it up. Hold on tight. Try not to get consumed. ☀️😈
👉 Sound off, butt — are OBSCURA still kings of the tech-death universe or what? 🤘
Michael is the founder, editor, and chief riff wrangler behind The Riff Report, an independent Welsh rock and metal publication built by fans, for fans. With a lifelong passion for loud guitars, unforgettable live shows, and the incredible community that surrounds rock and metal, he created The Riff Report to celebrate everything that makes the scene special—from legendary headline acts and grassroots venues to rising bands that deserve to be heard.
A familiar face at festivals across the UK, Michael spends much of the year covering events including Download Festival, Bloodstock Open Air, Steelhouse Festival, Firevolt, Plumpton Revival, and many more. Whether he’s battling the Welsh weather on a mountainside, surviving a weekend in a muddy campsite, or squeezed against the front barrier with thousands of fellow fans, he’s always searching for the next great story to share.
As editor of The Riff Report, Michael writes festival guides, breaking news, album reviews, gig reviews, interviews, opinion pieces, nostalgia features, and behind-the-scenes stories from across the rock and metal world. His writing combines honest opinions, humour, and a genuine love for live music, bringing readers closer to the bands, festivals, venues, and people that keep the scene alive.
Michael is particularly passionate about supporting independent artists, local venues, charities, and the wider UK rock and metal community. He believes every band deserves a chance to be discovered and every festival has a story worth telling. Through The Riff Report, he aims to shine a spotlight on both the biggest names in rock and the future stars waiting to break through.
When he’s not writing or interviewing artists, you’ll probably find him exploring festival campsites, photographing live shows, chatting with fellow fans over a pint, or planning the next road trip in search of more riffs, bigger crowds, and unforgettable moments.
Above all, Michael believes rock and metal are about more than music—they’re about community, friendship, and creating memories that last a lifetime. That’s exactly what The Riff Report exists to celebrate.
Proudly Welsh. Proudly Loud. Always chasing the next great riff. 🤘
