Australian prog metallers Ne Obliviscaris have announced that they will release a remastered version of their 2014 album Citadel ahead of their European and South American tours, on which they will perform the whole of that album, along with 2023's acclaimed Exul album.
The new remaster if the band's concept album, by Mark Lewis (who also mixed and mastered 2023's Exul, will be released on all digital platforms on August 16.
At the same time the band have also announced the return of drummer Dan Presland after a three-year absence. He replaces recent drummer Kevin Paradis, who had drummed with the quintet since 2023.
"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 and our first ever tour through South America this November, sets up an amazing second half of 2024 for the band. See you all on the road!"
