From the darkened shores of Australia, NE OBLIVISCARIS has surged forth as titans of extreme progressive metal. Always creating complex soundscapes that push the boundaries of the genre - Their symphonies and conceptual artistry have earned them a place among the most respected bands in progressive metal.
Dare to delve once more into the re-imagined realms of Citadel, remastered with painstaking precision to unveil depths previously uncharted. Released in 2014, the original Citadel was a masterpiece of fierce riffs, ethereal violin harmonies, and a dual-vocal onslaught that carved its mark into the hearts of metal aficionados worldwide. Split into three epic movements, the album’s landscape spans from the ferocious storms of "Painters of the Tempest", the scorching mid-section "Pyrrhic", to the relentless awe of "Devour Me, Colossus," each movement a pillar of majestic fury and exquisite despair. 
This remastered edition rejuvenates the relentless drive and expansive creativity of the band, amplifying the dramatic interplay of Charles’s violin virtuosity with the grinding guitars—propelling these anthems to new heights of metal glory. Listen closely as the past and present collide, creating a sonorous echo that will reverberate through the ages.
Unleash the storm within. Embrace the remastered legend—Citadel awaits.
