And the New Guitarist for Obscura is…

…Tom “Fountainhead” Geldschläger!

Yeah, I have no idea who that is, either. But this music video makes it clear he’s gonna fit with the tech-masters of Obscura just fine:

All we can really do now is hope he’s not a Ayn Rand fan.

Here’s a brief bio of the group’s new axe slinger:

Fountainhead is the alter-ego of guitar player / composer / producer Tom Geldschläger. Currently operating from his studio in berlin, germany, Tom has appeared on countless records as a guitar player, arranger, producer, mixing-engineer and sometimes keyboard player. He recorded and toured with artists like Ray Riendeau, Marco Minnemann, Jimmy Pitts, Xell, The Living among others and has been featured in various magazines around the globe, most recently “guitar plus” and “gitarre & bass”.

On a related note, it would appear that the band has also found a new drummer in the personage of Sebastian Lanser. I don’t know if that had previously announced and we just missed it or if that’s new news.

Obscura are  in the middle of writing new material, rearranging previously written ideas and start preparing the upcoming liveshows in 2015,” according to a press release. So we should be getting some new Obscura soon-ish!
