OBSCURA released the official music video for “The Prolonging” on October 6, 2026. Taken from A Sonication, the song receives a video directed by Mirko Witzki, according to the announcement supplied by Nuclear Blast.
In the accompanying statement, Steffen Kummerer discussed the track’s pace and its reception on the road: “The Prolonging became one of the shortest and fastest tracks we have delivered to date — and quickly turned into a fan favourite during the recent tours supporting our latest album, A Sonication.”
Kummerer also outlined the band’s intentions for subsequent performances. “We are looking forward to bringing The Prolonging back to the stage on our upcoming tours across North America, Europe & the UK,” he said in the October 6 announcement. His comments connect the video release with the band’s touring in support of the album.
A Sonication was released on February 7, 2025, as documented in OBSCURA’s official Bandcamp catalogue. The album is currently offered there for streaming and digital download. The October 6, 2026 date belongs to “The Prolonging” video, which is available through the band’s official YouTube channel.
