Interview with Australian Prog Metal Band Ne Obliviscaris

I caught up with Australia’s Ne Obliviscaris during their stop in New Orleans while they toured with Rivers of Nihil and Psycroptic for The Sound 228’s blog, Annie’s Soundwaves. The piece digs into what makes this band so compelling on and off the stage. Two-hour sets that demand precision, a global writing process, and a violin that thrives on chaos.

In my chat with vocalist-violinist Tim Charles you’ll find the logistics of life on the road, the rituals that keep the machinery humming, and how they’re steering into new territory with a fresh line up of material in the works. I bring my lens and my questions, letting the moment breathe— the backstage clam before the storm, the intensity on stage, and the balance between art and travel that this band lives every day.
