[Florin]

Legendary bass player Jeroen Paul Thesseling (QUADVIUM, SALAZH TRIO, ex-PESTILENCE) has rejoined the German progressive death metallers OBSCURA as a permanent member after a 9-year break. Thesseling, known for his signature fretless playing in death metal and world-fusion, joined OBSCURA in 2007 and recorded the band’s critically acclaimed full-length albums “Cosmogenesis” (2009) and “Omnivium” (2011), both released via Relapse Records.

[JHbass]

REALLY Excited to hear what comes from this!

 

[Madmaskbass]

Such awesome news!! Cosmogenesis was totally out of this world on bass!!

 

[DiMarco]

I wonder if new work will be on its way with @JPT joining the group again.
Am hoping he will chime in and shed some light on what's coming up.

 

[UK Ken]

Congratulations Jerome, can’t wait to hear the new music.

 

[StreamerII84]

Yes!

 

[StreamerII84]

Man, I don't know how he plays so high up. Suppose it's the only way with a Thumb 7.

 

[Hardy]

My right shoulder would be higher than my left shoulder if I would wear a bass that high.
