German progressive metal titans OBSCURA have announced a four-week headlining European tour in the spring of 2012 in support of their latest album Omnivium.. Support on the tour will come from label-mates SPAWN OF POSSESSION, French tech-death maestros GOROD, and Dutch progressive metallers EXIVIOUS. The tour will kick-off on March 9th in Stuttgart, Germany then march through Scandinavia, Eastern and Southern Europe, and the UK before returning to Germany on April 7th.

OBSCURA’s Steffen Kummerer commented on the upcoming run:

“We are stoked to announce our upcoming European headlining tour to support our newest album ‘Omnivium’! With our label-mates Spawn of Possession, tech-death lunatics Gorod and the fusion influenced Exivious this tour is a must for everyone who is into progressive music. This is the ultimate shredfest of the year!”

Additionally, OBSCURA recently announced their first ever demo collection, entitled ‘Illegimitation’ which will be released by the band this March. The collection will include ten never-before-heard tracks, including the band’s earliest recordings from 2003, unreleased songs from the Cosmogenesis sessions of 2006, and brand new cover songs with the newest line-up from 2011.
