I see people complaining about the death metal growling vocals....personally I think they work perfectly, I love how they contrast melodic vocals and growling vocals perfectly
First I have seen of this but i don't gander in the comment's of the music I like xDDD so I have not seen this complaining. But just like you said the contrast is on point. Not to over the top on either end. Both vocals balanced perfectly together. I know this is not how you define someone but I have herd MUCH worse (not saying it's bad in the first place)from band's MUCH bigger.
This song has many layers, many stuff going on, it could stand as pure instrumental. Some parts he's just sitting on top taking space. Doesn't happen everywhere in the song, but when it does you know it, he overloads it. The contrast is nice tho.
I think the mix of the growls and cleans is what makes this band so unique. Throw in the violin and the flamenco influence with the guitars and these guys truly are something else.
“And Plague Flowers The Kaleidoscope from Portal of I was included in a teaching curriculum at Sydney Conservatorium of Music, the song being analysed for its composition” Holy shit. I wish I could take Ne Obliviscaris 101
Thats what caught me the most when I saw them live, not knowing them that much before. Those two ar so different and then so fitting well together, its amazing to see. And I took pictures of that show that captured that duality in a way that amazed me because I didnt plan it at all, it showed on camera in a very natural way. Great experience :)
The bassist has actually posted a cover on youtube, where he's turned the bass up. It's genuinely the most astonishing bass part I've ever heard, there are absolutely some godly riffs in there. I highly recommend finding it and watching it, his channel's "cygnusbass".
@@triptychlux They're still pushing the mostly monotonous music scene. Every prog song doesn't have to be new. It just needs to be different from most other shit.
Actually, whether the violinist is a righty or lefty doesn't matter, because except for in extreme cases (like missing certain fingers, for example) all violinists play on the left shoulder
I love how everyone in this band looks like the kind of folk you would meet in a pub after work over a pint of beer. And then there’s Xen (although a handsome person) who looks like he is about to sacrifice a lamb for a bit of rain in these hot and dry days lol.
The clean vocalist / violinist is so charming. I love his goofy dance moves and the genuine enjoyment he seems to have, spread across his face, the entirety of the performance. Don't change a thing.
something funny I noticed is I think xen, even though he's the founder of the band, gets tim to talk in between so he can maintain the "big scary screamy guy" thing. I find that really cool
Před 6 lety+269
Before listening to this, I was just a metal fan. Now I'm a 220 kN jet engine \m/
I saw them first when supporting Devin Townsed band. They started and all are, yeah, okay a violin these guys are sweet. 10 minutes later everyone was mesmerized, what are we listening to here. 5 minutes later it was on. Should be a global powerhouse band
There are a lot of bands who don't play live as well as the CDs. Singing can be off.. music management can be iffy. stuff like that. But Ne Obliviscaris are phenomenal live. Would love to see them someday.
Honestly i think the live version is significantly better than the album version. (I love both) but live it just seems to be alot softer and cleaner than the mixing on the album. I have seen them live and they were absolutely incredible as well
Whenever people complain about screaming or growling vocals I get so annoyed. The human voice is an instrument, growling and screaming does to singing what distortion did to the guitar. Its just the next step in the progression. You can't have beautiful angelic chorus singing without guttural disturbing screaming as well.
Yea they're really talented.. Also ngl.. Their music is very unique, but also another bank that caught my attention is icdd.. Their music is also so awesome, but this one is very professional

Also, kudos for the band for taking action and holding him accountable for his actions.

Little do people know how much effort and talent it takes to do this thing "properly" and seemingly without much effort! Growls and screams here are f*cking amazing period. Although the bassist was the star of the Christmas tree for me, you guys are all incredible! Keep providing us with this beautiful art of yours and we're sure to follow.
NeO will never be the same without Brendan. His bass-lines were out of this world. Rarely does a bassist shine out so much during a metal song and here he is, playing in his own unique lines instead of following the rhythm guitars.
He's incredible. Another song where he does his own thing but it works perfectly is Devour Me Colossus. If you haven't, definitely watch his bass playthrough of that song. It really gives you appreciation for his skill.
Back to this comment after 3 years. Still have tears listening to this, still feel sad aboout Brendan leaving, although the new guy is also great... but I will always have a bias for Brendan. He sent me a fan package all the way from Australia around 10 years ago, consisting of a NeO tshirt, the album Portal of I, a flash drive with NeO concert videos. A shame what happened.
Sitting here in Perth, Western Australia and it takes someone in Port Charlotte, Florida to tell me about an awesome band from Australia. WTF? I might as well be living in a cave.
Got to see them live in San Diego (I believe it was their first show on this tour) and they completely shattered all expectations. They played with the same fervor and intensity as a much larger show; made us feel special! And afterwards, they took the time to speak with fans, hell I even got some singing/screaming advice from Xen (who was so intelligent and friendly, a true gentleman). Man even 6 months later I still am raving about this particular show, so just go do yourself a favor and see this band live!!!
This is an example of stellar musicianship. Heavy guitars, superb bass and drums, the Yin and Yang of Death/Black Metal vocals with solid clean vocals and a beautiful sound of a violin. Epic musical Art! Well done!
They are hands down one of the best metal bands out there right now, especially in the progressive/ technical metal genre. Finally a true Opethesque band
YES exactly - a true Opeth-esque band. So glad to see someone say that, I fully agree; and it's possibly the highest complement one can give a prog metal band (or any group in any music genre.) It's much needed to see groups like this. And I wonder if any of the members of Opeth know about Ne Obliviscaris at all...
This perfomance and the song are awesome but im also laughing my ass off about how 5 people outta the band look like the most normal people on earth and then there is the vocalist that is just straight outta your black metal 101 (apart from missing corpsepaint)
In case you ever wonder why; I had the pleasure to meet with the band and Benji explained to me that he holds the guitar that high because of the injury in his hand after a motorcycle accident. Anyway, these people are talented, amazing performers and so, so, so humble and friendly it is hard to believe.
Just learned about you guys through Ryan & George of the YT channel LOST IN VEGAS as they did a REACTION video of this song. You guys have scored a new fan, in me! Amazing music!

I would straight up lose my shit if I ever saw this band, this record is the peak of modern prog imo. Haven’t heard anything of the same quality in the genre since
Opeth is probably the most comparable band to NeO, they're swedish prog death metal type shit. They started in the 90s but are still kicking today. Similar music worlds. There's a lot of great prog bands. Thrailkill is a really good proggy technical instrumental only band based in LA, they just released a sick new album last night called Unperson you may wanna check that out it's tight
Yes. I love this. This is so fucking metal. There's growl/scream/etc. vocals, an uncommonly large number of strings on those guitars, and they play it like they wouldn't stop if the police came in to arrest them. Even a stage dive. They combined my love of metal, orchestral/folk instruments, and general proficient playing. I'm definitely looking this band up.
My wife and I just saw them in NYC and these guys kick ass live. My wife doesn’t even like metal that much but she loved the show. We met the singer/ violinist at the end of the show and he was a very nice and humble dude who thanked us for coming to the show. Anyways they are touring for their latest album Urn. If you are lucky to live near a place where they are playing you should go.
cygna is playing bass with a smile on his face... and all of them seems to have a nice time! and thats whats truly important! do it and enjoy it.. way to go guys!!!
I have to add to my commen couple days ago. I just found these guys last week and has been blowing me away ever since. This is almost scary good, I haven't been this amazed by a band since I discovered Opeth many years ago
Love how humble NeO are. When I saw them in Melbourne 2019 Tim stopped during his violin intro just to say what a great time he's having and how much he appreciates us fans.
@@darjanator Yeah, Nightwish were genuinely mindblowing, Floor is a goddess and the band is so tight. Was lucky enough to see them with a full pyro show too. Never been to anything like it before or since!
Omg, i'm like falling in love with this group. I just happened to stumble upon them and they are coming to play in LA in Nov. I'm so going. So charming, being able to play the violin like that. I'm really impressed so far. Ready to fucking rock the pit.
Jesus and Satan really sing well together in this song.

Kings of this carousel, disfigured upon white horses
With Goya's claws and Dore's wings
Down golden locks to red crosses
Crowned children screaming from funeral shrouds
To rapid eye movement, heart-strings undone
... our beautiful filth dances... and plague flowers
Why our wall to reason fall... only human
Kings of our emptiness, the flagellants align
Their mouths fill with ashes and death's tongue
The dappled dying
Flowering cold grey tombs
With crumbling walls... I feel
Our truth is laid bare
... And plague colours
A masterpiece of pain
The portrait of what we are...

We met the singer/ violinist at the end of the show and he was a very nice and humble dude who thanked us for coming to the show. Anyways they are touring for their latest album Urn. If you are lucky to live near a place where they are playing you should go.
cygna is playing bass with a smile on his face... and all of them seems to have a nice time! and thats whats truly important! do it and enjoy it.. way to go guys!!!
I have to add to my commen couple days ago. I just found these guys last week and has been blowing me away ever since. This is almost scary good, I haven't been this amazed by a band since I discovered Opeth many years ago
absolutely unbelievable how chilled dan looks on the drums
Love how humble NeO are. When I saw them in Melbourne 2019 Tim stopped during his violin intro just to say what a great time he's having and how much he appreciates us fans.
Holy shit, I want to see them live so badly.....
7:09 is such a good shot
Dan's performance is the definition of perfection
Love from Bangladesh....great music..loved every micro second
This is some good sleeping music.. I don't even make it through the first few tracks
But I listen to them in my waking hours also
Like a heavier opeth
First time I'm listening to this. My brain just melted. It's amazing.
Hard to believe that this may even be better live. What a masterpiece.
Legitimately one of the best live performances i have ever seen. Holy cow. What incredible musicians.
Left handed rules !!
Joshua Ciardelli wdym? what did cygnus do
Moses brought me here from upon the mountain with a stone tablet inscribed NE OBLIVISCARIS
How does this not have at least 1M views yet? one of the greatest performances you'll ever see.
The drummer is amazing.
Holy shit that was epic and excellent! That drummer has some insane grooves.
THANK YOU, NE OBLIVISCARIS!
THANK YOU A LOT FOR YOUR AMAZING WORK!
THANK YOU !!! THANK YOU !!!
What a fine combo gents. 💪💯🙏🤟💞
I just learned about this band, in the last hour. Already love it. Thank you Ne Obliviscaris. Your musicianship is absolutely amazing.
The incredible power that this song invokes is beyond measure. Thank you again...
I keep coming back to this song after however long. It's such a beautiful song, and they play it so well. It's fantastic.
I just discovered this band and they are so amazing. They covered that void opeth left a while ago.
how often do you see a live performance that's just as good (or better!) than the album?
With good metal and progressive bands quite often. Been to several Nightwish and Sigur Rós concerts and they killed it every single time.
@@darjanator This. It's more common than you'd think these days.
@@darjanator Yeah, Nightwish were genuinely mindblowing, Floor is a goddess and the band is so tight. Was lucky enough to see them with a full pyro show too. Never been to anything like it before or since!
Legend says all Gojira's live performances are better than the albums
one of the coolest bands out there
Omg, i'm like falling in love with this group. I just happened to stumble upon them and they are coming to play in LA in Nov. I'm so going. So charming, being able to play the violin like that. I'm really impressed so far. Ready to fucking rock the pit.
did you end up seeing them in November? If so, how was the show? (I'm seeing them for the 3rd time in a few weeks in Melbourne - home town!!) :D
Yeah yeah yeah! They are amazing and all that, but their sound engineer is a God! How can a live concert sound so good?
His name is Troy McCosker and he is a God, recorded all their albums, too 🤘
So amazing. Wish I could have seen Xenoyr on the most recent US tour because his voice is on of the most unique I’ve ever heard
I wore a color to one of their shows once so you could see me in the audience.
This was simply otherworldly! I wish I could see you guys live one day. Greetings from the Third World.
vɛɢɑɴ 269 i understand your suffering xd
They are seriously just perfect!! So happy I got to see them live in SF. They played this song last and I was sooo happy!
Crazy talented people in my eyes, freakin love the bass
Having 2 Left-Handed members in a band is completely unheard of. Love it.
