Eclectic Melbourne metallers Ne Obliviscaris have been confirmed as part of the Soundwave 2015 lineup by the same source as most of the festival’s leaks – yes, it’s promoter AJ Maddah’s hyper-active Twitter account.

By the looks of things, all it’s taken is the completion of a bad-ass sounding record, and a well timed Tweet to get the band on board. Maddah made it official with a simple ‘Welcome to SW15’ adding they’ll chat about the finer details in the near future.

Now in the final stages of production, the sophomore album will be following in the footsteps of the bands 2012 debut Portal Of I. Funnelling just about every instrument known to man into their sound, Ne Obliviscaris is an addition to the festival that is sure to please even the sternest of metal purists.

Even though the official lineup doesn’t drop until August, details around SW15 are already starting to take shape. Steel Panther are pretty keen. And the rest of it is looking pretty sick too.
