NE OBLIVISCARIS are happy to be home. Three years ago, their lead guitarist and bass player were trapped in another country while recording their new album right as the pandemic shut the world down. No wonder that album ended up with the name ‘Exul’.
Since then, the extreme progressive metal band have been flying high. ‘Exul’ was named one of the best albums of 2023 by Metal Storm. While other bands bring a touch of prog and classical to extreme metal, Pop Matters recognized that “none come close to the astute world-building and intricate yet direct songwriting of Ne Obliviscaris”. Angry Metal Guy praised Tim Charles’ “sobbing”, “lonely” violin, while Metal Injection singled out album closer “Anhedonia” for being “magnificently disturbing”.
This summer, Ne Obliviscaris brought ‘Exul’ to stages all over Europe, including Mystic Festival. Now, they’re celebrating their 20th anniversary by playing big rooms across their native Australia for the first time in four years (!) And they’re bringing The Ocean Collective and Rivers of Nihil to the party!
Get a sneak peak of Ne Obliviscaris’ anthemic, elegant, and headbanging live show by watching them perform the first part of “Libera” in their home city of Melbourne HERE.
This four show tour starts at the beginning of September. Get tickets HERE. But don’t wait; tickets for Sydney are almost sold out!
