Ne Obliviscaris ProfileAlbum title? Citadel
Where did the title of your new album come from? The title Citadel is used to represent the human form; we’re all strongholds, and everyone has walls to protect who we really are, but once the gates have been breached it reveals our strength within.
How many releases do you have now? Three. Our new album Citadel, our debut album Portal Of I released in 2012 and The Aurora Veil demo (2007).
How long did it take to write/record? Most of Citadel was written throughout the course of 2013 in between tours and we couldn’t be prouder of the final result. The best thing we’ve ever done without a doubt.
Was anything in particular inspiring you during the making? Each other! There is nothing better than the inspiration you get from a bandmate coming in to rehearsal with a new musical idea that you love and are excited about.
What’s your favourite song on it? Painters Of The Tempest. Our greatest musical accomplishment so far. It encompasses all we do in a vast 23-minute span.
Will you do anything differently next time? Our approach will always be the same and that is to experiment and challenge ourselves on every record. How that ends up coming out we never know until it happens!
When and where is your launch/next gig? 28 Feb, Soundwave, Sydney Olympic Park.
QLD: 1 Mar, Soundwave, Brisbane Showgrounds.
VIC: 22 Feb, Soundwave, Melbourne Showgrounds.
