Linus Klausenitzer:
“In this video I play and speak about the Ibanez Ashula – a new 7 string hybrid bass by Ibanez.
Some people might remember that I played the first version of this bass already in a video when I was introduced to Obscura. This is now the second version with even one string more. It has an amazing new look and specially the fretless part was improved a lot. The piezo pickup makes the fretless strings sound super smooth. I am glad that Ibanez never stop to come up with great ideas for new basses.
The amazing Franck Hermanny made a virtuous video playing the bass already so I tried to speak a bit about the options that this bass has to offer and show its different sounds.
I hope you enjoy the video!
For more information about the bass, please visit the Ibanez website!”

Linus Klausenitzer:
“It’s the third time for Obscura in Japan but 6 years since we have been there. Playing in Japan is always magical and the dedication of music fans there is very unique. We couldn’t be more happy to come back.”
Technical death metal masters OBSCURA have entered the studio to record their yet-to-be titled fifth full-length album. The record is the final of a running 4 album concept cycle that began with Cosmogenesis in 2009. The band is recording the album with longtime producer V. Santura (Triptykon, Pestilence) at Woodshed Studios, Landshut, Germany. A Summer 2018 release is expected via Relapse.
On September 9th and 10th Linus Klausenitzer will perform at Guitar Summit 2017, Mannheim Germany.
Representing Ibanez Germany and D’Addario Germany, Linus will perform selected Obscura songs, speak about extended range basses and his approach to develop bass lines for advanced songwriting. Other artists attending guitar summit: Guthrie Govan, Ola Englund, Victor Smolski and many more.
Linus Klausenitzer will present his concept as a “digital musician” at the MusicBiz Madness conference in Frankfurt, Germany (22.10.2017).
Street Smarts statt Klassenzimmerwissen… MusicBiz Madness ist eine Musikbusiness Konferenz, die sich überwiegend an Musiker, aber auch an independent Labels, Promoter, Verleger und Agenten richtet. Verschiedene Musikbusinessinsider und erfolgreiche Musiker erläutern in ihren Vorträgen ihre Strategien und teilen ihr Wissen.
Dieses Konzept ist in Deutschland einzigartig. Organisator Julian Angel erklärt: “Menschen, die selbst Erfolge im Musikbusiness vorzuweisen haben, geben ihre Erfahrungen weiter. Alleine dadurch erhalten die einzelnen Vorträge eine viel höhere Qualität als wenn ein Musikprofessor die GEMA Satzung erklärt oder Labelbosse über die Zukunft jammern”. Ein weiterer Unterschied zu anderen ähnlichen Brachenevents ist die Tatsache, dass MusicBiz Madness bewusst auf öffentliche Fördergelder verzichtet. – musicbizmadness.de

After the huge success of Alkaloid‘s debut album the band is recording their second album which will be released by Season of Mist Records.
This week the bass recordings will start.
“The song material is very divers. I want to use only very few different bass sounds but I want them to include the extremes of a clean sounding fretless bass and a very dirty sounding fretted bass.” – Linus Klausenitzer
