      I got my $50 package in the mail today and I'm overly excited. Everything is in order and I even got an old 2011 All Access stage pass. Thanks Obscura, and cheers! \m/

      Guys, whoever is still missing something; please get directly in touch with me via my personal email address: info@steffenkummerer.com We sent out every packages, even those with the XXL shirts where we had some trouble to get them finally. We will sort out everything, just get in touch and we will find a way. I am sorry for the circumstances you have and have to wait that long for your already paid CDs, shirts, vinyls. I would not be happy either, so let's get this sorted. In the name of the band, my apologies to everyone.

      Please write me exactly what is missing & your address to send you a new package if the sent one is lost in the mail.

      Best Regards,
      Steffen Kummerer & Obscura

      March, April, May, soon June... and jackshit! Nothing in the mailbox, no updates, emails left unanswered... I am so glad you guys are coming over to Japan next month, that will give me a chance to find out what the hell is going on! Hopefully you are not as obnoxious to the people coming to your shows as you are to the people who have been backing you on this project.

      Still waiting and getting irritated.
      I would certainly think twice before "backing" anything else on this site.
      It is frustrating that Kickstarter takes no responsibilty for anything on here.

      Homer Humphreys on March 29

      Hey guys, I just saw this update over at the band's Facebook page explaining about the hold up for certain ordered items over at their official store. I can only assume that this is why there is a hold up for the remaining Kickstarter packages. I hope to get my Kickstarter pack soon. Cheers! \m/ ;)

      http://www.facebook.com/RealmOfObscura

      To all people who ordered stuff from our online shop lately: We are sorry for any inconvenience or being late. Unfortunately some of our shirts were misprinted, the XXL shirts weren't even delivered! This is really out of our hands, we are so sorry! All the other stuff has been sent out. It takes up to a few weeks until it's gonna shipped overseas. Stay tuned!
      If you are still missing stuff please contact Hannes: contact@hannesgrossmann.com

      Meanwhile the LP is in stock again:

      Hi.
      I haven´t received my package either and was quitte worried untill i saw that all you other guys hadn´t received yours either, I was sure that the shitty postal service in Denmark was to blame...
      Saw the band in Copenhagen on march 15th, and it was a great fucking show. Thumbs up for bringing a great band like Exivious out on tour.
      Looking forward to getting the package.
      Thanks.

      I was wondering how long it would take too .... It depends on how it was shipped i guess, usually packages from Europe take up to 10 days to arrive here in Vancouver (by air mail). Hope i get it soon, it's all i think about :) I keep receiving other cd-s i ordered and it sucks :))))) i can't believe i just said that haha.

      I don't mind waiting a few more weeks to get my package, but would it be possible for you to give me an update as to when that stuff will ship out? Thanks.

    24. Christian_wiess1.thumb
      Obscura on March 20

      Hey everyone, we apologize for the delay but the band is currently on a month long tour in Europe and will be a bit slow to respond to everyone's customer service issues. All of the items were packed and shipped by the band themselves so a few orders may have been a bit messed up. Please be patient and we promise everyone will be taken care of as soon as possible. Thanks for the support!

      Anders Rune Jensen on March 18

      Hmm. That doesn't sound too good with stuff not being signed! I live in Denmark, Europe and I'm pretty sure they are sending out the stuff from Germany, that's why I'm a bit puzzled that the stuff hasn't arrived yet. Can anyone remember what the name and email is of the person who was collecting the shipping information?

    26. Fb_profile_picture.thumb

      I'm just checking in on the status of my order. I couldn't find a tracking number for it and I was concerned how much longer it would be before it arrives. I live in VA here in the States. Thanks.

      You are an amazing band, i like a lot universe stuff, your album covers are great pictures.
      Its not yet the deadline to gather the money and you are now at double the amount you pledged, i hope you get 4 or 5 or more times the amount you pledged.
      You should also get a flattr account so fans like us can show you our recognition by donating money.

Obscura

Has not connected their Facebook account.

The technical German death metal band Obscura was founded in 2002 by guitarist/vocalist Steffen Kummerer and drummer Jonas Baumgartl. The band caused a stir when they - out of nowhere - toured as support for Suffocation on their European tour in 2006 and when they independently released their debut album ‘Retribution’ that same year. After several lineup changes mastermind Steffen 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. Together they create their vision of the future of extreme metal. A symbiosis of death, thrash and black metal merged with progressive elements and technical as well as compositional demand.
