NE OBLIVISCARIS unveil new live video for "And Plague Flowers the Kaleidoscope"
03-03-2023
Progressive metal outfit NE OBLIVISCARIS is now sharing a brand new live video for its seminal song, “And Plague Flowers The Kaleidoscope,” which was recorded in Melbourne (AU) on May 10, 2019 at 170 Russell. The clip is taken from an upcoming ‘Live in Melbourne’ Blu-Ray performance that will only be available via the special collector’s edition of ‘Exul’. ‘Exul’ is due March 24, 2023, via Season Of Mist Records.
Watch “And Plague Flowers The Kaleidoscope” below.
NE OBLIVISCARIS comment: “This live performance video features audio that is almost completely unedited. It’s brilliantly imperfect. A genuine and an authentic representation of what our shows are like. This concert Blu Ray is a great example of how deeply we care about our music and the connection between ourselves and the audience. It’s 6 people that have worked for years (decades even) at their craft coming together to bring our music to life for audiences across the world and we are so excited to get back to doing that in 2023. We hope you enjoy this taste of NeO’s Live in Melbourne Blu Ray. See you all on the EXUL world tour (EU/UK this May and USA/CAN Oct/Nov + more TBA) for our own moment to share together!“

NE OBLIVISCARIS are proud to announce 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 5 and sees the band traveling throughout 15 countries in the weeks to follow! A full list of confirmed dates and support acts can be found below.
Regarding the video’s powerful yet sombre message, the band explains: “‘Equus’ is dedicated to the lives lost during the lethal bush fires that scarred Australia in 2019-2020. Alongside the people who died or were affected, many millions, if not billions, of animals were killed or displaced from their natural habitats, the enormity of this is something that will never be forgotten, and should not be ignored. It is also a warning that the world we live in is changing from the damage we as a species have contributed to. Within this video, the dancer represents a scorched Mother Earth, from horror to humanity, ever in tune with the heart and flow of the song (and world), and ultimately aware of the inevitable and ever growing destructive cycle we are in.” Pre-orders for ‘Exul’ are now available HERE.Pre-save the album on streaming services HERE.NE OBLIVISCARIS frontman Tim Charles comments on behalf of the band: “We are so excited to announce not only the first part of our ‘EXUL’ world tour for all our EU/UK Ne Obluminati, but also unveil our new album’s track-list & stunning cover, courtesy of Xen. This album has been 5 long years in the making and we are so incredibly proud of every second of it. Stay tuned for your first taste in the coming days!“
