Obscura
SPACE! AYY LMAOS! WEIRD-LOOKING ALIEN-LIKE ALBUM COVERS! SCI-FI! GERMANS! NECROPHAGIST! OBSCURE ASTROPHYSICAL AND ASTROLOGICAL CONCEPTS AND TERMS USED AS SONG TITLES! IBANEZ GUITARS!
If a basic summation of their overall themes in a loud and bold manner is insufficient for you to gain an understanding of the inexplicable progressive technical mind-f*ck death metal that IS Obscura, then we cannot scalp you. Or mop you. You will be unable to ascend to a cosmic level in a manner similar to being flung to the exosphere under the supervision of trigger-happy North Koreans.
You are a puny human in comparison to the infinite expanse that is the universe. However, Obscura transcends such a label in infinite ways.
Get a freaking Ibanez. And learn German.
Now.
And listen to Obscura while you are at it.
This article is bad, innit?
It's bad.

Putting on Obscura is no different to listening to mascara in that they both have no national merits being bestowed upon you by some transcendental alien deity from the outer stretches of mind. Not even Rings of Saturn could attest to such a debaucherous means of guitar wankery that way, and they are the ones with the supposed merits of the intergalactic deity. At least they're progressive enough to be cool. But what if that was all just false?
“Oh, great. Someone uncultured prick of a metalhead just implicitly accused Obscura of wankery. Send in the correctors.”
But then there's the question of if these two space-themed bands really embody the trip-inducing realities of LOL TEH LAST FRONTIER AMIRITE GUISE as it would be seen in the context of, oh, I dunno, maybe A FREAKING VEKTOR OR VOIVOD RECORD!? First, you have RoS making ridiculously fast and technical yet SPACE-THEMED music which barely makes the cut, but then you have these Gorguts-worshipping neophytes for Krauts that may be using too much Necrophagist in their songwriting!
“Did he really just place a technical deathcore band over a technical death metal band, which he called 'neophytes!?' The audacity!!!”
In all, space is nothing! No one! Nobody! No more! Did I mention Nevermore!? HOW CAN YOU METAL BANDS CREATE SOMETHING OUT OF A CONCEPT WHICH EMBODIES NOTHING!? Heck, why did I even bring up Vektor or Voivod in the first place? Am I gonna bring up Vader now!? AND WHAT'S UP WITH THE BANDS STARTING WITH A V!?
“Pleb confirmed. Not even we sound this irrational and self-entitled.”
Obscura, you deserve to live in obscurity! You are nothing because you embody nothing itself!
“BLASPHEMY! KILL THAT POSEUR!”

We have no idea what we're talking about, either. Perhaps you should just buy Cosmogenesis and get on with your day. Maybe.
