Me Obliviscaris
Bio
On the fringes of the dark expanse of progressive extreme metal a bright horizon awaits, and it is called Ne Obliviscaris – Latin for “don’t forget”. This six-piece progressive metal band from Melbourne, Australia, dropped a remarkable debut, ‘Portal of I’, featuring a well-crafted mix of black, death, heavy and doom metal influences as well as classical elements and a proggy touch.
Apparently their progressive metal also kindles enthusiasm in more academic music circles because one of their songs has meanwhile been incorporated in the curriculum of the prestigious Sydney Conservatorium of Music. Their sophomore album ‘Citadel’ raised the bar even further. The band’s musical prowess leaves the listener breathless without ever losing sight of the bigger picture. Slightly easier to digest, ‘Urn’ (2017) is probably a good place to start if you’re new to Ne Obliviscaris, or you can pick up a copy of their fourth outing ‘Exul’ (2023). Founders Marc ‘Xenoyr’ Campbell (harsh) and violinist Tim Charles (clean) are the vocalists of this intriguing act.
