comment
Ne Obliviscaris are a mostly Australian Progressive Metal band (lead guitarist Benjamin Baret is French, and current bassist Martino Garattoni is Italian) who incorporate elements of Melodic Death Metal, Black Metal, Thrash Metal, Classical Music, Avant-Garde Music, Jazz, and flamenco. They are unusual in the crowded field of progressive metal for the prominently featured violin virtuosity of Tim Charles. However, all of the musicians in the band are quite capable (Daniel Presland has even won an award for his drumming prowess) and their music never fails to be compositionally interesting as well. Ne Obliviscaris have garnered quite a lot of critical acclaim for their releases thus far.

Special Guest: Robin Zielhorst (Exivious) performed session bass on Urn in the wake of Brendan Brown's departure, while Martino Garattoni (Ancient Bards) performed as a live fill-in after Brown was fired and eventually became full-time in 2018.

Progressive Metal: Their primary style. They take influence from many others, as is almost mandatory for prog bands at this point.

 Ne Obliviscaris (Music) / int_4f4372e9
comment
Early-Installment Weirdness: Mostly averted. As Hiraeth reveals, the band's Signature Style was well established by the time they began recording. There is a bit more tremolo picking than on some of the later material, but it's not a radical change. (The EPs were new recordings, but the material was evidently written early into the band's career.)

Domestic Abuse
 Ne Obliviscaris (Music) / int_590eb583
comment
Domestic Abuse: This is what got Brendan Brown kicked out of both this band and Vipassi. Brown, in turn, seems to have been a victim of parental abuse and to have taken his firing as a wake-up call, admitting that it was justified and noting that he was seeking professional help to change his behaviour and put an end to the cycle of abuse that he was part of.

comment
Epic Rocking: All over the place, as is obligatory for Progressive Metal, but the best example has to be the three-part "Painters of the Tempest", which is twenty-three minutes long. As of 2022, they have only released five songs under eight minutes in length: the 4:47 "All the Scarlet Tears", the 5:51 "Of the Leper Butterflies", the 6:59 "Felo de se", the 7:29 "Intra Venus", and the 3:43 "Anhedonia". (Note, however, that Citadel had two of the songs divided into multiple tracks, three of which were under four minutes; one of the movement divisions on Urn is also under four minutes.)

comment
Black Metal: They have most commonly been described as "progressive black metal". Black metal isn't a primary influence on their style like progressive metal and rock are, but they incorporate elements of it such as tremolo picking, blast beats, and the scream style commonly used by Xenoyr, and they're clearly inspired by other progressive black metal bands like Enslaved and Sigh.

Long Title
 Ne Obliviscaris (Music) / int_9f2898f7
comment
Long Title: When the names of the songs and their movements are taken into effect we have titles like "Painters of the Tempest (Part III): Reveries from the Stained Glass Womb" (admittedly the most extreme of these). note We might also note that Part II of this song is itself divided into three movements; however, since the subtitles of Part II ("Triptych Lux") and of each movement ("Creator", "Cynosure", and "Curator") are both short, Part III ends up having the longest overall title. Even ignoring the multi-part suites, though, we have titles like "And Plague Flowers the Kaleidoscope".

Gratuitous Latin
 Ne Obliviscaris (Music) / int_a448674
comment
Gratuitous Latin: The band's name means "Never forget" in Latin (though the significance is somewhat justified by personal relation, as "Ne Obliviscaris" is the motto for the Scottish clan of Xenoyr's surname, Campbell). The song title "Felo de se" means "Felon of Himself" and is an archaic legal term used to refer to suicide until around the seventeenth century. Their name is even stealthily dropped in their debut album under the title track "Forgot Not" (which is the band's official translation of their name).

Loudness War: Most of their releases have been clipped on CD (though not as badly as a lot of other offenders, and because there are also a lot of quiet passages with no clipping, they're not as fatiguing as they would be otherwise, either). The Blood Music vinyl editions do not have this problem at all; the Season of Mist ones are a bit clipped, but not as conspicuously as the CD versions.

Left-Handed Mirror: Baret (as well as Brown when he was a part of the band) play lefthanded, which created an interesting mirror effect when the band played live, where the leftys would stand on the opposite end of the stage, mirroring each other in a way.

Start My Own: Baret, Brown, and Presland started the instrumental project Vipassi with Ben Boyle (A Million Dead Birds Laughing) sometime in the mid-00s and will finally be releasing an album in 2016. Brown was fired from the project at the same time as Ne Obliviscaris, and Arran McSporran (Virvum, De Profundis) eventually took his spot.

Technical Death Metal: They could be considered progressive death metal due in particular to Xenoyr's common use of death growls, and this is the direction that they skew most heavily towards circa Urn.

comment
Soprano and Gravel: An interesting case in that, since the band has two vocalists, they frequently have the soprano element overlaid with the gravel. Most metal bands that use this trope use one at a time. The printed lyrics for each album generally differentiate the two vocalists' parts by using different type styles for each (for instance, by printing Xenoyr's parts in bold and Charles' parts in italic).
