Australian progressive metal extremists Ne Obliviscaris will be putting out a remastered version of their sophomore album, 2014’s “Citadel“, this month in honor of its 10th anniversary. Mark Lewis (Cannibal Corpse, DevilDriver) oversaw the sonic update of the record, which they will have out on August 16th through Season Of Mist.
In other news, drummer Dan Presland has returned to the fold, after having previously quit back in 2022. Speaking earlier today, July 31st, on their social media, the band commented:
“First of all, we just wanted to thank Kevin Paradis who has done a wonderful job over the last 14 months as the band’s live drummer on our EXUL world tour. Kevin has been part of some of our best ever tours and we are grateful for his contribution in creating so many special moments performing as a band during this time.
Reuniting with Dan on drums was not something we had in mind until quite recently. But after 3 years apart, and a rekindled friendship, the lure of performing both ‘Citadel’ and ‘Exul’ albums in full with Dan behind the kit is something we are incredibly excited about. This exciting news, combined with our just completed European summer festival tour, the amazing new Mark Lewis re-master of ‘Citadel’ on the horizon (out Aug 16) – which sounds simply incredible- & our first ever tour through South America this November, sets up an amazing second half of 2024 for the band. We can’t wait to share this updated version of Citadel with you & see you on the road!”
