Questo il comunicato della band guidata da Steffen Kummerer sulle recenti accuse legali:

“We are issuing this statement to provide clarity to our fans, business partners, promoters, media representatives and the wider OBSCURA community regarding a number of legal matters.

Since February 2026, criminal complaints and applications for prosecution have been filed in Germany concerning several individuals in connection with publications and conduct which we consider to contain defamatory, insulting, factually inaccurate or otherwise potentially unlawful content.

In parallel, civil legal steps are also being pursued in relation to the losses and other legal claims arising from these matters.

For the avoidance of doubt, these matters do not concern a single incident. The material submitted to the relevant authorities relates to publications and conduct dating from 2015 to the present day, including disputed factual allegations concerning OBSCURA and its members, copyright and intellectual property matters, the publication of personal information, and other conduct which we have asked the competent authorities to examine under German law.

The consequences have extended beyond OBSCURA itself. Several international companies and professional partners have also been affected, including companies which have reported receiving threats or other forms of improper pressure in connection with these matters. Some have suffered significant financial losses and are providing relevant information and supporting documentation to the competent authorities.

The public allegations have also had practical consequences for our international activities, including significant difficulties in obtaining the necessary visas for performances in China. We have submitted supporting documentation and relevant evidence and will continue to cooperate fully with the competent authorities.

We respectfully ask our fans, media representatives, business partners and fellow musicians not to contribute to speculation, personal attacks or further public disputes concerning these matters. We believe they should be dealt with through the established legal process.

Please do not mistake allegations published online for established facts.

We will therefore refrain from making further public statements regarding the substance of these matters whilst the relevant legal processes are ongoing.

Listen to music, not allegations.

OBSCURA“
