Thank you everyone for all your messages these last couple days. It's obviously a big time of transition for the band, but also for you guys as well. You're here because you are our biggest supports and we value each and every one of you so much.

We are so grateful for you sticking with us and we can't wait to share the behind the scenes of this new era with you here on Patreon in 2025. - Tim

I hope Xen can stay connected to the band through the creative aspects such as album and poster art, videos etc

Ne Obliviscaris

Hey there! That's something I mention in the video as quite possible. We all like the idea of him staying connected to NeO in some way. He's already been designing a flyer just this past week for an upcoming tour and his influence will pop up in more ways here and there I'm sure. - Tim

Special K

Thanks Tim... As sad and as disappointing as the news is, change brings new opportunities and I for one am certainly very excited to see what the future holds for NeO and for Xen!!!

Alex Schroeder

Glad to hear he may yet do NeO album art! It would be great to see that creative vision still present, even if he's now working on other projects.

Ne Obliviscaris

Yes, as they say, the one constant is change. And though it brings its challenges, it also can bring new inspiration and life to things. Definitely exciting times ahead. I, myself am curious to see what we come up with next now! - Tim

Viviane Garrido

I love Xen's artwork, lyrics and voice but my best way to honor something that he and the band have built is to enjoy this new era. Neo came into my life in one of the most suffering moments and your music has saved me and I will be grateful forever and I will continue to give my support, love and respect to all of you guys 🖤 I’m excited to See you in Mty

Ne Obliviscaris

Thanks so much for your emssage Viviane! We will do our best to keep creating special music and moments for you for many years to come! See you in May! - Tim

Jeanette King

Xen will be missed and although NeO will move forward, he will always be there in some way. For the band, it will be an exciting time. Will look forward to some new music and hopefully live shows at home in Australia in 2025.

Ne Obliviscaris

Thanks for your message Jeanette. I can confirm that an Aussie tour is already booked and we'll be announcing this in February--- but don't tell anyone yet ;-) - Tim

Sven Bröker

I still can‘t wrap my head around the news… there are so many questions running through my head, some no one knows the answers to, some that might sound offensive at the moment, but there‘s one I‘d like to ask: So the rough plan for 2025 is to play shows in Australia, go in the US tour, play festivals in Europe and then go into writing mode?

Ne Obliviscaris

Hey Sven, we're already getting into writing mode now, but plan to do some tours around writing such as those announced plus Australia at least as well. I'm sure most questions in regards to the band and our music will be answered over time. Thanks for your support as always Sven. You've been following us for many years and we really appreciate it! - Tim

Anabela (Anna Star Felix)

I believe that for me, and for sure, for many other fans was easier to accept this big change because we already had the chance to see James on the tour shows and have witnessed what a good job he did. I also really appreciate the time that Xen took to think about it, knowing that it was something well pondered and for his well being makes it easier as well. And I'm so happy that you all remain friends and the possibility for him to work with you again in the future. sometimes this kind of changes cause (or are caused by) the break of relationships in the band, and is good to know that's not the case. Thanks for your transparency with the fans! 💜

Chrysoar

Sad stuff :(. I am still looking forward to the next album. Also is the reprint of portal of I still happening?

Ne Obliviscaris

Absolutely! We had some delays with the vinyl, but it’ll be available first half half of this year finally so stay tuned

Shawn Cooper

Just throwing this out there, but will there ever be any studio recordings of James performing current/old Ne Obliviscaris songs? I’m not talking recreating previous albums in full, but maybe a tour playlist of songs as an official release, with James’ vocals. I know, it’s probably too soon…

Ne Obliviscaris

Probably too soon yes... but I would say we'd be unlikely to re-record old songs that have Xen on vocals in a studio setting. What is more likely is a live version release in the future which would include older songs with James on vocals. - Tim

Shawn Cooper

Thanks Tim, it would be cool to have something with his vocals to listen to 🤘🏼

Frederik Franko

Leaving something you’ve created and poured so much time, effort, and love into is always incredibly hard. I can’t imagine the emotional rollercoaster Xen went through to reach this decision, but I deeply respect it and will always be grateful for everything he helped build. The dark element he brought to the music really resonated with me, so I’m a bit anxious about how James’s perspective on writing will influence the lyrics and overall tone of the next album. But as you mentioned, it’s always a nerve-wracking experience for fans when a lead singer changes. That said, we’ve seen so many examples of this bringing fresh, unexplored potential to bands—Lorna Shore, Nightwish, and Arch Enemy, to name a few. I wish Xen all the best in his future projects and personal endeavors, and I have my fingers crossed that you guys will deliver yet another banger of an album!

João Eiras

I understand Xen fully. Touring is not for everyone, specially if you have family back home. Roy Kahn himself, which you (Tim) mentioned quit the band also due to burnout (touring, recording, etc). It is perfectly fine for creative people (including musicians) to create and publish their work, without the stress of touring, just enjoying the process of creation and creating a community of supporters online while being settled at home. NeO is way past that point, so I wish the best for Xen and we'll hear from him from his other projects.

Valerie Syren

Thanks so much for sharing this, Tim! It was great to hear your thoughts on the whole situation.
