Ne Obliviscaris | Xen talks about Urn, his vocals and what he does on tour
Manage episode 208847954 series 2342406
"Founded in Melbourne in 2003, Ne Obliviscaris took the inspiration for their name from the proud motto of Clan Campbell based in Argyll, Scotland, which means "forget not".
From the start, this collective of exceptional musicians made it clear that they did not intend to follow any trends or walk on well-trodden paths. Their first demo, 'The Aurora Veil' (2007) had a massive impact in the metal underground far beyond the fifth continent and their debut full-length 'Portal of I' (2012) reached the mainstream music press, which praised their unique array of influences and characteristic virtuoso violin.
Their second album 'Citadel' (2014) added avant-garde approaches including jazz, flamenco, progressive rock, and many other wide-ranged influences to their solid metal base.
Parallel to their success on a critical level and with an ever-growing host of die-hard fans, the band have increased their reputation as an excellent live act with extensive touring literally around the globe."
Ben talked to Xen about their new album, Urn, how he writes his vocals and what he does in his spare time on tour.
Aired 1st February 2018.
