When we interviewed Steffen of Obscura a few months ago, and asked about bassist Jeroen Paul Thesseling leaving the week prior, he mentioned how Jeroen had actually been gone for a few months and they had just made it official. At the time, Linus Klausenitzer was filling in on the low end. It's safe to say he meshed really well with the band, as today it was announced that he is officially in the band. The band even released this sweet video showing off Klausenitzer's skills:

Obscura will be playing the Metal Suckfest in New York on November 6th, along with Cynic, The Red Chord and A Life Once Lost. Tickets are on sale, so get on that shit!
