In a seismic collision of Australian metal titans, Ne Obliviscaris have enlisted the legendary Psycroptic as their very special guests for a groundbreaking national tour this June.
This marks the first time these two powerhouse acts have toured across Australia together and will be their first shows together since 2008. The tour promises to be a historic event for metal fans across the country with Ne Obliviscaris set to deliver an ambitious two-hour set featuring their seminal albums Citadel and Exul in full and Psycroptic bringing their unrelenting technical mastery and savagery to the stage!
Now in their 26th year, Psycroptic are undisputed pioneers of forward-thinking extreme metal. With a legacy spanning eight critically acclaimed albums the Tasmanian wrecking machine has redefined technical death metal with their genre defying creativity and forged a reputation as a global force, sharing stages with icons like Carcass, Obituary, Archspire and many more.
NeO comments; “What a total honour it is to present the incredible Psycroptic as our special guest on this tour. Psycroptic are a band we all absolutely love, and one that has inspired us continually ever since we first arrived on the local scene here in Australia 20+ years ago. One of the tightest extreme metal bands you’ll ever see live, this tour partnership has been a long time coming and will not disappoint!”
Ne Obliviscaris formed way back in 2003 but it was their Citadel album that finally launched them into the international metal scene upon its release back in 2014. To celebrate that record NeO released an updated 10th anniversary, re-mastered edition of Citadel, just a few months ago.
Citadel stands as a monolith in NeO catalogue. Epitomising their unique blend of ferocity and grace. With the recent remaster, the band has meticulously resurrected the album’s original power, ensuring every note, every growl, and every whisper of the violin rings clearer and more haunting than before.
The June tour will also see the Australian debut of new frontman, James Dorton on vocals! James has toured across the world with NeO over the last two years and the band are excited to finally showcase his incredible talents to their Aussie fans.
The band comment on the upcoming tour; “We are excited to announce that we will be performing both our Citadel and Exul albums in full for you all. This 2 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.
