I just can't get over the whole thing with Steffen screwing over the other musicians and stealing their work. Alex Weber and Christian Münzner both left the band over creative differences (basically being that Steffen wants to push out the album even though songs were half baked). Both were assured that the song writing they contributed would not be used on the album as a gentleman's agreement. Both those agreements were violated.
I used to be a huge Obscura fan and I still am a fan of the older stuff, but with this shit the band is dead to me.
