'If you've ever found yourself enchanted by the prog ethos, Citadel is a blind plunge well worth taking' 8/10 Metal Hammer

'From now on all bands that combine metal with orchestral music will have to measure themselves against this work of art' 8.5/10 Rock Hard

Second album by the Australian sensation Ne Obliviscaris!

It's been just over two years since the band released their critically acclaimed debut album 'Portal Of I', during that time they have risen to become one of Australia's biggest metal exports and a band many are tipping to be one of the next big things in the worldwide metal scene.

The multi-layered songs on Australian prodigies NE OBLIVISCARIS’ sophomore album ‘Citadel’ are infusing a metal base with avant-garde approaches to jazz, flamenco, progressive rock and many more elements. The band display extraordinary musicianship and a depth of profound compositional abilities hardly expected from such a young group. Listening to these tracks makes it less surprising that one of Australia's most prestigious classical conservatories, the Sydney Conservatorium of Music has added the song "And Plague Flowers The Kaleidoscope" taken from NE OBLIVISCARIS' acclaimed debut full-length 'Portal of I' (2012) to their teaching curriculum.

The album was Produced by Troy McCosker and violinist / clean vocalist Tim Charles at Pony Music in Melbourne, Australia and mixed and mastered by Jens Bogren (DEVIN TOWNSEND, OPETH, KATATONIA).
