More information about Citadel

Australia’s dark progressive metal visionaries NE OBLIVISCARIS are taking their home continent by storm. In the wake of their new album ‘Citadel’ entering at #42 on Australia’s top 50 charts and #12 on the Australian Artist Album chart category, NE OBLIVISCARIS continue to break records on their ongoing Down Under tour with label mates BEYOND CREATION. Impressions from the Melbourne show can be viewed here.

NE OBLIVISCARIS sold over 700 tickets for their show at 170 Russell in Melbourne, which is the largest turnout for an Australian metal band in at least a decade, cementing their status as their country’s biggest band in the extreme music genre. They were also the first metal band from Down Under to hit their national charts in many years, which put them alongside international recording artists such as FOO FIGHTERS, SLIPKNOT, TAYLOR SWIFT, KATY PERRY, and more.

Regarding their charting, NE OBLIVISCARIS commented: “When you play in a band like ours and release an album like ‘Citadel’, charting in the mainstream pop charts is not something you ever really consider so this is a bit surreal to us. A massive thank you to all our Australian fans for your support on this tour and buying our new album!”
