Now in their 26th year,** Psycroptic **are undisputed pioneers of forward-thinking extreme metal. With a legacy spanning eight critically acclaimed albums the Tasmanian wrecking machine has redefined technical death metal with their genre defying creativity and forged a reputation as a global force, sharing stages with icons like Carcass, Obituary, Archspire and many more. 

NeO comments; “*What a total honour it is to present the incredible Psycroptic as our special guest on this tour. Psycroptic are a band we all absolutely love, and one that has inspired us continually ever since we first arrived on the local scene here in Australia 20+ years ago. One of the tightest extreme metal bands you’ll ever see live, this tour partnership has been a long time coming and will not disappoint*!”

*Psycroptic*

Ne Obliviscaris formed way back in 2003 but it was their **Citadel **album that finally launched them into the international metal scene upon its release back in 2014. To celebrate that record NeO released an updated 10th anniversary, re-mastered edition of **Citadel**, just a few months ago. 

**Citadel** stands as a monolith in NeO catalogue. Epitomising their unique blend of ferocity and grace. With the recent remaster, the band has meticulously resurrected the album’s original power, ensuring every note, every growl, and every whisper of the violin rings clearer and more haunting than before.

The June tour will also see the Australian debut of new frontman, **James Dorton** on vocals! James has toured across the world with NeO over the last two years and the band are excited to finally showcase his incredible talents to their Aussie fans.

The band comment on the upcoming tour; “*We are excited to announce that we will be performing both our Citadel and Exul albums in full for you all. This 2 hour set is going to be our biggest ever here in Australia and we can’t wait to create some more special memories with our Aussie fans.*  
*Check out details of our VIP experience to come hang out with us before each show.*  
*See you in June! – NeO*“

Prepare for what is set to be touring highlight of 2025 when **Ne Obliviscaris** and **Psycroptic** bring their combined might to stages across Australia, delivering a frenzy of technical wizardry, raw power and progressive artistry. Expect an unforgettable night of metal mastery with Ne Obliviscaris’ monstrous two hour odyssey through Citadel and Exul paired with Psycroptic’s unrelenting sonic assault.
