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!”

28 Nov 14 Newcastle (AU) The Cambridge (+Beyond Creation)

On further news, NE OBLIVISCARIS have already been confirmed for the prestigious Hellfest in Clisson, France on June 19th to 21st, 2015 and more shows worldwide are currently being planned.
NE OBLIVISCARIS are touring in support of their brand new album ‘Citadel’, which has been released on November 7th and is now available via the Season of Mist shop and in Australia through this link. The album is also streaming in its entirety here. Artwork and track-listing can be viewed below:
