Curitiba, Brazil-based extreme symphonic metal band Semblant issued third full-length studio album Obscura<\/em> on March 6th, 2020 through Frontiers Music Srl.<\/p>\n

Vocalist Sergio Mazul commented: \u201cThe last few years were really intense for the band. Lunar Manifesto<\/em> received a lot of attention for quite a while after it was first released and it was actually issued twice, independently at first, and then a second time with our previous label – and that meant we promoted it for longer than originally intended. Besides that, we faced some extremely difficult moments in our personal lives during the songwriting process of Obscura<\/em> and it definitely shows when you listen to it. We put our hearts into this record to help us deal with all the trouble we were facing during that time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Guitarist Juliano Ribeiro added: \u201cObscura<\/em> is definitely a more mature record. We were really conscious of how we wanted it to be since the beginning of the process, so we took all the time we needed to make the album exactly how we wanted. It\u2019s important to say that we\u2019ve been together as a band for many years now and it also had a big impact on the end result of this record.\u201d<\/p>\n
