Australia’s Progressive Extreme Metal act NE OBLIVISCARIS, has premiered its new song “Misericorde I – As The Flesh Falls” in anticipation of the release of the band’s new album, ‘Exul,’ which is due this Friday, March 24th through Season Of Mist.
The band comments: “We present to you Part 1 of 2 of our 16 minute+ epic ‘Misericorde,’ a song that delves into the subject of dealing with terminal illness. It’s about your body betraying you, the inner battle both physical and mental (and the range of emotions that come with it), which eventually becomes apparent to others as your health deteriorates letting your armour fall away.”
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.
NE OBLIVISCARIS have previously announced a new European tour, together with PERSEFONE! The trek will kick off their ‘Exul’ EU/UK tour at the Tavastia venue in Helsinki (FI) on May 5th and sees the band traveling throughout 15 countries in the weeks to follow!
