As of right now, Metal-Archives lists both bassists <strong>Ype Terwisscha van Scheltinga<\/strong> (<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/metalinjection.net\/tag\/vltimas\">Vltimas<\/a><\/strong>, ex-<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/metalinjection.net\/tag\/dodecahedron\">Dodecahedron<\/a><\/strong>) and <strong>Robin Zielhorst<\/strong> (ex-<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/metalinjection.net\/tag\/exivious\">Exivious<\/a><\/strong>, ex-<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/metalinjection.net\/tag\/cynic\">Cynic<\/a><\/strong>), guitarist <strong>Kevin Olasz<\/strong>, and drummer <strong>James Stewart<\/strong> (<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/metalinjection.net\/tag\/bloodshot-dawn\">Bloodshot Dawn<\/a><\/strong>, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/metalinjection.net\/tag\/decapitated\">Decapitated<\/a><\/strong>) as live members. Obscura has not issued any statements on the matter.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have been a bit silent on social media, but since I have received so many messages, it is time for an update:&#8221; wrote <strong>M\u00fcnzner<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;1. First things first, yes it is true, I left <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/metalinjection.net\/tag\/obscura\">Obscura<\/a><\/strong> shortly after the last European run. I do not want to get into the nitty gritty of things, I know it is a cliche to say so, but the reason were just creative differences when it came to the next album. I am still super proud of the album that was<em> A Valediction<\/em> and enjoyed all the tours that followed and it was great to meet so many of you in person. It was a good run, but now the time has come for me to move on.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;2. I am very excited to announce that I finished the songwriting for the debut album of my new band\/project <strong>VOID SECTOR ZERO<\/strong> and will be moving on to pre-production shortly. The music will be tech\/prog thrash in the tradition of bands like <strong>DEATHROW<\/strong>, <strong>CORONER<\/strong>, <strong>OBLIVEON<\/strong>, <strong>WATCHTOWER<\/strong>,<strong>TOXIK<\/strong> etc. mixed with some 90s tech death influences (<strong>DEATH<\/strong>, <strong>CYNIC<\/strong>, <strong>ATHEIST<\/strong>, <strong>NOCTURNUS<\/strong>, <strong>MARTYR<\/strong>\u2026), jazz\/fusion elements (<strong>ALLAN HOLDSWORTH<\/strong>, <strong>TRIBAL TECH<\/strong>) and tons of guitar solos inspired by everyone who was on the Shrapnel label between 1985 and 1999. I will announce the line up once it is finalized.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;3. The pre-production for <strong>ETERNITYS END<\/strong> 4 is almost done. Soon I will get in touch with the rest of the guys and we can move on to the final recordings. Expect our fastest and thrashiest album so far.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;4. The <strong>RETROMORPHOSIS<\/strong> album is finished, but because of the label being what labels are today it will most likely be a 2025 release.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;5. I have a VERY EXCITING video course coming out at the end of that month, so keep your eyes open. More on that later.&#8221;\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"zox-post-body left zoxrel zox100\">\n<h5>Want More Metal?
