News : Ne Obliviscaris ‘Portal of I’ tour dates

By on April 4, 2012

Ne Obliviscaris updates are few and far between these days, so it’s always a nice surprise when one pops up. Late-ish last year the band announced the track listing and artwork for their debut full length, Portal of I, and now we have tour dates.

“Almost 9 years after the bands formative rehearsals first took place; after numerous line-up changes that has seen the band go through almost continual change, always for the better; after more than 5 years have passed since the band released a 3 song demo that garnered the band worldwide critical accclaim; after a successful 15 month battle with the Australian Immigration Department saw their lead guitarist, Benjamin Baret, finally granted a long term visa in Australia due to the incredible support of thousands of fans worldwide; after more frustrations and delays than the band thought they could ever possibly deal with; we present to you… ‘Portal Of I’.

Set for release on May 7 in Australia through Welkin Records and shortly after worldwide through a soon to be announced label (stay tuned), ‘Portal Of I’ is every bit of musical energy we could muster. Our love, our pain, our frustration, our joy….. It’s 7 songs & 72 minutes and we will be performing the album in its entirety at all our Australian Tour shows in May/June. 

Thank you to all those who have been patiently waiting for this news for all these years. We can’t wait to hear what the world thinks.- NeO”
