OBSCURA | "The Flesh and the Power it holds" (Death Cover, 2012) 

Chuck would be proud.

This is not a competition it's a tribute. Both are great bands.

Little quicker. Different vocals. Very nice cover by a very talented band. Death was one of my favs

Got 35+ yr old handlebar-having savage internet warriors. "I've been listening to Death for 20 years, so my interweb words mean more and justify arguing over youtube". great cover, obscura added their own unique twist to a classic death track.

I'm 42 and I been listening to Death for 27 years. And I think it's freakin' awesome hearing bands like Obscura doing tribute covers of Death songs.... And they do it freakin' tight and right, yet with just enough of their own awesomeness to just add one more layer of 'zOMFG!!! THIS IS AWESOME' to an already awesome song. Nothing but respect, these guys should do a freakin catalog cover of all Death albums in my opinion.... they're the only ones who have the skills and the respect to do it.

Flawless cover. But Death is the only way. Chuck, you are missed, brother!

This is one of the best Death covers I've ever heard. I've been a Death fan since Spiritual Healing and this is fantastic! And to the haters, if I wanted to hear it EXACTLY the way Death did it I can go to iTunes or down to the store and pick up a copy of The Sound of Perseverence. These guys took an amazing (and extremely difficult) song and rocked it. Great job!

2:03 Dat bass, I wish that was in the original song too

"WWoooooahwwohwoahwnooonooooodooowwwwhooooaaaa," - bass guitar

Obacura is too good at covering things including songs and my depression

One of my favorite bands covering one of my favorite songs from my favorite band.

Chuck Shuldiner had a unique voice, but this cover is nice, thanks for reviving a legend of Metal, Lives forever CHUCK!! Lives forever DEATH!!

God damn it, I always mix up Obscura and Gorguts.

Fretless bass sounds freaking awesome here! Steve DiGiorgio should have played on SOP as well as on Symbolic. Both those albums have so much inferior original bass lines compared to those from Human/ITP era.

Best death metal after death !

I felt some chest hair growing while listening to this cover

Holy shit, they did this cover TOO well

Haven't listened to this in a while. Time to leave another comment, every two years I seem to delete my old one and leave another. To the wannabe elitists: Steffen is, 99% chance, a bigger Death and Chuck fan than you, so before you start talking shit, think about it.

it’s just like if Steve Di Giorgio was in the Sound of Perseverance album

This is by far the best cover of this song that has ever been done.

The production is nailed , and the cover is just too perfect , a job well done.

This was one of the first songs I learned how to sing and play at the same time. I sucked at the solo though. This kicks ass. Death songs are supreme and need recognition. \m/

Great tribute, I listen to Death every other day, different albums including Control Denied.

I hope they do more covers, the 3 covers they did for this LP are perfection.

Love the drums

All the great musicians get taken way before their time. All I know is heavens gonna have some great metal bands! RIP Chuck

The elitism... it's too damn high.

A very fine cover. The quicker tempo really changes the feel. Love it.

Man this is awesome I really like the progression and good job

Excellent mix on the drums. I can hear it all. Love it.

One of the best Cover ever! Awesome job Obscura🤘 Chuck will be missed🤘\m/

Whait.. that's too awesome.. Obscura covering one of my favourite Death songs?!?! this is madness!!

R.I.P Chuck Schuldiner

This is one of if not the best cover ever.

Awesome cover of one of my favorite Death songs. RIP Chuck.

Great cover of a great song from a great band by a great band

The best respect anyone could ever give Chuck and the rest of Death, is covering a classic and being a tribute to the mastermind who originated the song. Very much respect for Obscura and long live Chuck.

Incredible master piece incredible cover!!!

Awesome cover! Lovin the new and cool fretless bass!

One of the best covers i have ever heard in my life.

Super zagrane, wielki szacunek za podjęcie się tak trudnego tematu jak DEATH. Brakuje mi tu jednak serca, powietrza i jest lekko zbyt syntetycznie. Dziękuję. SUPER :))

Amazing cover!

SUCH A GOOD COVER!!

LOOOOOOOVE LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE !!!!!!!!! Ohhhhh this song takes me way back.... GREAT cover guys.!!!!! !

Great cover! Liked it a lot.

So I had completely forgotten that Christy was in Death and went to go check the Metal Archives to see if he was on any other albums... I then discovered that Gene Hoglan was on a few albums... holy shit. I had no idea! Thank you for unconsciously leading me to this little nugget of information.

Never heard a cover so perfect, amazing.

awesome!

Sounds amazing.

great cover !

its awesome that this exists

just beautiful \m/

que buen cover saludos desde México, sigan asiendo buena musica

4:10 I love what they did with the interlude!

I thank you Obscura for showing such dignity and grace with this cover RIP Chuck and HAILZ \m/

*This is perfect !*

Good cover guys, keep up the good work!

This is just so good....

Magnificent version guys!!! Horns Up Obscura Let the Metal Flow

I'm a BIG Death fan and i really love this cover... people in comments may go to hell.

Excellent, Chuck would be proud. Lepiej chyba się nie da :) Wielki szacun dla Obscury.

Death forever! Great cover...

Great Cover

Awesome cover, but am i the only one who think that the snare dont fit it ?

this cover is so awesome i saw it live

Sick cover

So true, glad to see im not alone beliving that.

Extremely good cover, the guitar tone is almost identical. You did Chuck proud.

I really respect Obscura... Their original stuff is absolutely rocking and their covers are always pretty fucking nifty. Good stage presence, too.

very good cover good job !

Your right. covers are about respect, tribute to a band we recognise as inspiring.

RIP Chuck Great cover!

Love the bassist in this band!

This is a real classic, done exceedingly well. This does justice to Death and Chuck, and manages to add a few new twists. My only complaint is that they could have (should have) taken a few more liberties and made it their own. Other than that, I'm impressed!

10 years has past since the great lost to metal and music and everyones still paying tribute to this great man ... chuck schuldiner

But Decrepit Birth usually plays Crystal Mountain, when i saw them live, they played that which was pretty epic

sounds great, as well as vocals. KUDOS.

this is the best thing i have ever heard my fave song by my fave band death covered complety legit with no bullshit thanks so much obscura u have poential to be one of the legends of death metal in years to come

Holy hell... this is a VERY accurate cover. The vocals are off but the tone of all instruments sounds nearly identical. The drumming is spot on and the bass is great. Obscura... you guys are great. This is one of those songs that shouldn't be altered much, if at all.

Very good cover.

really good

I'll check it out..thanks!

this is how it's done dude i'm fucking crying. i love this.

wow... just WOW

Death led me to Obscura and here i toke full circle...Ojibway approved!

great job Obscura. the only band that could pull this song off ALMOST

finally justice with a good cover by this great song...ave Death!

oh this is rather sweet. that fretless bass sounds like digiorio. awesome!

i found out that obscura covers my favorite songs, cool.

They've done it before and they do not disappoint.

That's one badass album art

Very good cover, but nothing can replace Chuck's haunting vocals.

woah, your answer is very smart. made me think.

Immense talent

I got chills when I saw this thumbnail.

sweet!

A worthy tribute \m/

CHUCK...FATHER OF DEATH METAL

Respect!

saw these dudes live in 09 and they kicked ass.
