Citadel

· by Christine Fortier

The third album from the Australian band, which is also the one that made them famous in North America, proves that the words “extreme metal” and “intellectual” can fit in the same sentence. Ne Obliviscaris is not the only group that composes music that appeals to the heart as much as to the mind. That said, it stands out by including string arrangements (violin and cello) that give it a unique, brainy touch and pull it above the fray.
