Ne Obliviscaris Vocalist Pulls Out of European Tour, Replacement Named

Australian extreme metal outfit Ne Obliviscaris are headed out for a European tour but they won’t be joined by vocalist Xenoyr, citing personal issues. Black Crown Initiate vocalist James Dorton will step in on vocals. View the band’s full statement below.

“**ANNOUNCEMENT**

“We are sad to say that Xen has unfortunately had to pull out of our European tour which is set to kick off this weekend in Finland due to a personal emergency. Xen has had a lot happening in his life lately and it unfortunately has reached a point where he isn’t in a position with his own health and the things he’s dealing with to be able to tour and perform with NeO at this time.

“After waiting almost 4 years to tour together and perform for everyone again it’s incredibly disappointing for both Xen & the rest of us. But of course the health and wellbeing of our brother comes first above all else.

“We are grateful that @thejamesdorton (incredible vocalist for Black Crown Initiate/The Faceless) has agreed to fill in for us on this tour, and on only a weeks notice has learned the set and flown out to rehearse with us this week in Helsinki.

“The response to our new EXUL has been simply incredible and as challenging a turn of events as this is, we are excited to share these songs with you for the first time in what we feel will be a unique and special tour. Thank you in advance for your understanding and support. See you on tour across Europe May 5-June 7.”
