After another year touring all over the world, Australian fans are finally getting to see the nation’s leading progressive metal exports NE OBLIVISCARIS on home soil! It’s becoming an increasingly rare chance. Joining NeO as their special guests are Germany’s leading post metal act, The Ocean, who bring with them a new, extended line-up that includes cellist, Dalai Theofilopoulou. Their pairing with Ne Obliviscaris is surely going to have fans eager with heavy anticipation.

Local supports for each show on the tour have now been announced, rounding out what are guaranteed to be incredible and intimate evenings of exceptional progressive music

Opening the tour in Melbourne in breathtaking style will be I Built The Sky, featuring the guitar wizardry of Ro Stevenson. Their recently released new album, The Sky Is Not The Limit showcases some incredible, world class playing and if the ravenous response the album is receiving from the press is anything to go by, they wont be an opening band for much longer!

Adelaide’s Freedom Of Fear will please fans from all aspects of the heavy spectrum with their progressive death metal. Influences from Opeth to Morbid Angel and even Thy Art Is Murder forge to create a brutal yet intricate sound that has been transformed completely by the addition of new vocalist jade Monserrat.

In Canberra, local metallers Imperilment will deliver a set filled with big riffs and plenty of groove that fans of both Killswitch Engage and Karnivool will love. Fast and crunchy, melodic and technical. Why not have both?

Sydney’s leading experts of technical prog metal, Gods Of Eden have had a huge 12 months. Releasing their globally praised From The End Of Heaven album, being nominated for a music video award in Germany, opening for Lacuna Coil and recently being confirmed for next years Summer Slam festival in the Phillipines. With a new album in the works there is no slowing down for GoE.

Newcastle’s most prominent metallers, The Seer, have been a little quiet of late but they are set to come roaring back with their symphonic death metal. Last seen on stage in 2015, their return is eagerly anticipated.

Brisbane genre chameleons, The Stranger are a band that command attention. Their eclectic mix of prog metal, djent, folk, acoustic and funk has been captivating audiences since 2013. Their instrumental virtuosity, lyrical storytelling and energetic live show are the perfect appetiser for an evening of musical majesty.

Wrapping up the tour in Perth, Tangled Thoughts Of Leaving demand your undivided attention. Physically, mentally and spiritually. By way of a piano-led amalgamation of prog, post-rock, jazz, noise, metal and classical film soundtracks, TToL have crafted something of their own: sometimes intensely heavy, relentless and epic; at other times fragile and intricate. Dripping with intensity, emotion and intricacy, you couldn’t find a more perfect act to play with The Ocean and NeO.
