Obscura are in even more hot water as additional allegations of stealing riffs have surfaced. Primary songwriter Steffen Kummerer has previously been accused by former bassist Alex Webber of stealing riff ideas for their upcoming album A Sonication.
Now, former guitarist Christian Münzner, who left the band in 2024, has relayed similar complaints:
just heard more of the new Obscura. There are riffs I had written and was guaranteed would not be used, and they are being used 1:1, note for note, stolen, copied, as well as entire song structures. Mr. Tech Death Genius strikes again I would say. If Nuclear Blast releases this they are thiefs as well. I will not let this slide and explore every legal avanue. There are limits to how much shit we should tolerate. These songs were intended for a solo EP I was planning to do after the Obscura split, now I can not do this anymore. This can not go on. Especially if we "agree to disagree" because of creative differences and then you use other peoples work, after you say we are not on the same page what we want musically?

Post CommentImagine believing that anything any member of this band has written resembles an actual song instead of just mindless shredding. The are no "ideas", it's just guitar masturbation for the easily impressed.
Again, cut this dude a check for $7.69 and that should cover a good 15 years of royalties.
Not a good band anyway. Maybe go back to being the guy who was in necrophagist instead.

"your deathcore" Have you been on the internet yet this decade?
So you were in the band writing songs. Then you played hard ball with the cut negotiations and lost. Nobody plagiarized shit. You f*cked around band found out. The end.
Rick's Stalker here. I saw Rick at Walmart the other day. He was wearing a greasy grey Shirt with a cat wearing sunglasses and the shirt said "I do what I want". Rick was also wearing sunglasses.
why can't you people just share notes no body is really gonna hear it anyways
So what's wrong with this Steffen guy that everyone just quit? Is he a German Tim Lambesis? What's the deal? Anyone know?
Former members of band wrote band's album. Just like any band that ever existed where a member left? Who wrote all the early Metallica shit? Cliff Burton. He's dead. Did they have to break up or do they keep playing the shit. They keep playing. These Exist and Christian Mueller pussies are egotistical and think it's about them but it's not, it's about the band and always was, as it should be.
pull back your s*** album and pull back from your upcoming s*** tour. nobody gives a f*** about your band any longer

Not the first time he pull that shit. Dude is the sole owner of the brand Obscura, but the best albums were written by other members. He can't deal with that so he just steals riffs and ideas.
