Band Information
Ne Obliviscaris is a Melbourne melodic black metal band, originally formed in 2003. The band incorporates a wide variety of musical styles, giving them a particularly progressive sound. Since first playing live in early 2006, the band was mooted for the inaugural Festival of the Dead but were pulled due to time constraints and played at Metal for the Brain instead. A demo was released in early 2007 and in March the band supported Suffocation in Melbourne.
During 2008, Presland also began playing drums for The Ocularis Infernum and Benjamin Baret replaced King in May. The band conducted a national tour in April and May 2009. They were added to the line-up of the Against the Grain Festival in early September but were forced by withdraw when French citizen Baret faced visa problems and couldn't enter the country. Ne Obliviscaris began recording an album in late October 2009. Benjamin Baret's visa was finally granted in October 2011 and Nelson Barnes from The Schoenberg Automaton joined on drums in March 2012, replacing Presland. The band's long-delayed album Portal Of I was issued shortly after and the band toured the east coast to support the release. Presland rejoined Ne Obliviscaris in August 2012. Early the next year, the band was signed by Season of Mist and one of the album's tracks was included in a course at the NSW Conservatorium of Music. In August Ne Obliviscaris toured South East Asia before returning to support The Devin Townsend Project in Melbourne and to headline the Sonic Forge Festival for the third time in November. The year will be rounded off with a national support to Sirenia.
