Ne ObliviscarisVeteran Naarm/Melbourne extreme metal outfit Ne Obliviscaris are hitting the road this June, detailing a national run of tour dates this week.
The group, who formed in Melbourne way back in 2003, swiftly became stalwarts of the local scene with their incendiary live shows and brutal compositions. After close to a decade of shifting lineups and early material, the band issued their debut album Portal Of I in 2012.
However, it was 2014’s Citadel that helped put them on the map, with the record hitting #42 on the ARIA charts and showing the world that Ne Obliviscaris are more than just an underground sensation.
In 2023, the group issued their latest album, with Exul being their last to feature founding vocalist Marc ‘Xenoyr’ Campbell, who exited the band earlier this year following a few years away from the touring cycle. In his place, the group welcomed James Dorton of Black Crown Initiate as their new harsh vocalist.
Now, the band’s Citadel and Exul albums will be played in full on their upcoming jaunt, with Dorton also receiving his Australian debut with these shows.
"We are excited to announce that we will be performing both our Citadel and Exul albums in full for you all,” the group said in a statement. “This two hour set is going to be our biggest ever here in Australia and we can't wait to create some more special memories with our Aussie fans.
The upcoming tour will launch in Perth on June 10th, and see the group visit Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane over the following week. Tickets to the tour are on sale now, with VIP experiences also available as well.
