There is an ominous tone to that date: \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMarch 2020\u003c\/em\u003e. The pandemic demarcation line. That month, Daniel Presland laid down his drums in Nashville, Tennessee, with American producer Mark Lewis. As flight cancellations increased and borders shuttered, Presland made it home literally hours before Australia closed theirs. Lewis, guitarist Benjamin Baret and bassist Martino Garattoni weren’t as lucky. They were due to land in Australia in the days that followed to continue tracking, but were forced to remain overeseas indefinitely. With recording studios shuttered throughout Melbourne, a slow, tedious, life-altering two-year grind to complete \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eExul \u003c\/em\u003eensued for Ne Obliviscaris. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Seven additional studios and three more countries later, \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eExul\u003c\/em\u003e was finally mixed and mastered in July 2022.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e The album personifies Ne Obliviscaris’s distinctive, boundary-pushing ethos. The band’s trademark blend of emotion and beauty is as towering as ever, if not even more compelling, particularly how Charles’s violin lines carefully weave their way around Baret and fellow guitarist Matt Klavins’ riffing. The duality of Charles’s clean vocals and Xenoyr’s growls remains the narrative anchor, elevating songs that emanate sophistication and are a masterclass in composition. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\nTouring will factor heavily into Ne Obliviscaris’s 2023 plans. The band will embark on headlining tours worldwide that will hit new territories.

As one of Australia’s leading extreme metal exports, there is a distinct sense of gratitude from Charles and his bandmates.
