Greetings everyone! 

Below is a press release we are sending out at midnight tonight here in Australia (about 2 hours from now) announcing some of our exciting new offers for the Ne Obluminati, including free digital copies of our new album URN, free STEMS for $25+ members & an early release date for members!

Make sure you have a read so you're aware of the free stuff you'll be entitled to, and if you want those stems feel free to upgrade your membership level. ;-)

Once this goes live on our Facebook page it would be hugely appreciated if as many of you as possible could share it with your friends. We really feel that this is the perfect moment to take this band and our Patreon to the next level and finally achieve our dream of doing this band full time. But of course it won't be possible without all of you, and without growing the Ne Obluminati even bigger in the coming weeks and months ahead.

Thanks again for all your support!

Much love,

Tim

FREE COPIES OF OUR NEW ALBUM ‘URN’ + URN STEMS & EARLY RELEASE DATE FOR PATREON MEMBERS! 

**Full details below**

Since we first started our Patreon in March 2016 we have been working hard to create something special for our fans unlike anything else in the music industry. And so far it has done wonders for us. There are some tours in the past year that literally would not have happened if it weren’t for the money we earned via Patreon and we are so thankful to have so many amazing fans that have supported this new idea and helped us travel the world performing the music we are so passionate about. But we still have a ways to go. 

We have been talking for a while now about our minimum wage goal of $15,000 on Patreon, and with URN set for release in October and another world tour on the horizon, now is the time for us to make the jump to finally do NeO full time. We have been hovering around the 10k mark most of this year and so to achieve that goal we need you to sign up! For as little as $1+ per month you can help us achieve our dream, turn the music industry on its head in the process, and as a result of all this we’ll be able to tour more often to more cities in more countries... PLUS we’ll give you stuff!

In the lead up to the release of our new album ‘URN’ on October 27 we have been negotiating with our record label, Season of Mist, on how we can bring some special deals to our fans to reward all our Patreon members and also to try and encourage as many new people as possible to sign up!

We have managed to secure some fantastic new deals for Patreon members including:

* Free digital copy of our new album ‘URN’ for ALL Patreon members!*

* Early release date for Patreon members of OCTOBER 23! Members will get instant access to download URN from Oct 23 so that you can be the first people in the world to hear our new album in full.

* PLUS we are giving away the STEMS (isolated instrument tracks) from URN along with a high quality .wav version of the album for all $25+ members who have signed up by September 30!

This is in addition to all our normal content on Patreon which includes Tutorials, Live Q&A’s, merch discounts, exclusive previews of new songs & tons more.

So please, sign up at the link below, become part of the Ne Obluminati and we’ll see you on the road wherever you are in the world, very soon! \m/

Stems? AWWWW YESSSS your patreon is gonna explode with recording nerds just for stems alone haha

Hannah and Avintha Fonseka

I originally started out with the $5 pledge but increased it to $10 the same month so do I get the free digital copy? Not sure what 'lifetime' meant.

Ne Obliviscaris

That just means as long as you have given $10 total over your entire time as Patreon member, so this will cover almost all members. The reason we had that is to make sure we weren't giving away free copies of the album to people that had signed up at $1 just for one month. - Tim

Janja Uplaznik

So let me get this straight ... let's say someone signs up at the end of september for 25. Then that person gets both perks and once he does he unsubscribes. Is that how it works? I hope that's not what will happen with most people. It just seem that this reward sistem is a little unfair to those of us who - let's say - contribute 10 since the very begining but really cant afford more, because we are students or unemployed or something. Just a little something to think about ... I love you all tho and i can't wait for this album :)

Tina

*keeps waiting for tour dates*

Joey van der Kruk

Hopefully they're here to stay! We need more people, that's all. If everyone that gave a like on Facebook would donate $0.25 we would be over the goal. Of course, that's not realistic. But it's just that we need more people to reach the goal!

Joey van der Kruk

I am going to guess that the European tour will be announced as last.. Hopefully they don't clash with Solstafir in terms of tour dates.

Ne Obliviscaris

Hey Janja, in theory it's possible yes. Ideally we would offer things such as these as sign up bonuses with people then locking into a minimum amount of months in order to receive that bonus, but unfortunately Patreon doesn't offer such a thing. Earlier in the year we were offering deals with the EP's and Acoustic show footage etc. and our membership went up from 7k to 10.5k. After the deals expired it went down fairly quickly to 9.5k so some people clearly did just sign up to get the "stuff", but even so our overall membership still went up significantly. As much as we'd like to extend the offer to lower levels, we had to discuss the stems deal quite a bit with our record label before they even let us give it away to anyone and then the proviso was that it was only on the upper levels. I guess we could insist people are members for at least 2 or 3 months before they receive the stems as a bonus but that becomes quite difficult to keep track of and regardless wouldn't help you specifically. Unfortunately negotiating deals like this that aren't conventional is a challenge as it's unusual for bands to make stuff like this available in the first place, and especially not when they have a record deal. -Tim

Ne Obliviscaris

One thing at a time ;-) They are in the works though! - Tim

Hannah and Avintha Fonseka

I'm pretty sure that after some people sign up and see the content you guys post most of them would continue to pledge.

Ne Obliviscaris

^^That's definitely the idea! Work out a way to get people on board and then work hard to keep them here long term :) - Tim

So since you guys are planning to work on the band full time now does that mean we are going to get even more content each month? :D

Ne Obliviscaris

OK so after thinking about this I've adjusted the terms for the Stems so that people have to sign up before the end of September which means they need to pay for at least Sep & October membership fees and then also have to hang around on Patreon for at least one month (seeing the stems won't be delivered until late October) so they have to see what it's like and hopefully hang around long term! - In the end I think that's about the best we can manage to try and make it as fair as possible whilst also working to encourage new members to sign up. - Tim

Ne Obliviscaris

Yeah hopefully! When we go on tour the content is a bit different as well and lots of excuses for all sorts of things so it should be more varied than this year flicking between on tour and at home style content.- Tim

Dina

Awesome, I hope you reach your goal... and do a European headline tour soon; -)

Janja Uplaznik

Come to Slovenia, please! We love you here! :)

Janja Uplaznik

I know it's difficult to work out something that is perfect for everyone and that you have obviously given it a lot of thought. I just wanted to say it nevertheless :) And i hope it works out the way we all hope - so that you get enough supporters and keep them. You guys definitely deserve it.

Joey van der Kruk

That is really amazing! I really hope that when Urn gets released and you've gone on tour again, that you can hit the minimum wage goal. I understand that it's very difficult to get people on board, but hopefully the amazing music and all the amazing content that you put on Patreon can get people on board.

Jim Lundin

Great to hear. Really hope you guys will reach your goal. I have a question about the STEMs. What is the quality? Just wondering if they are mp3 or wav.

Epik Phil Foisy

Oy ! Can't find a download link anywhere for the new album. Isn't it October 23 in Australia yet ? Really eager to pour this nectar into my ears !

Tina

They're going to tour in the US first anyways, and won't tour Europe before 2018 (as they said earlier), so don't get your hopes up ...

Dillon O'Brien

thank you SO much for the .WAV files. seriously, cant express how overjoyed that makes me. there are so many cool things in this announcment, but thats the best part no doubt

Ne Obliviscaris

We are really eager to show you! Might be another new song on the way next week...keep that info on here though ;-)

Ne Obliviscaris

Thanks Janja and Joey! We definitely are doing our best and we hope that comes across. This is obviously still a new concept that many fans are getting their heads around but we hope the reputation of our Patreon starts to grow more and more over time so that it just continues to go up and helps secure us a strong future long term. Thanks for everyone's feedback! It makes a huge difference hearing your perspective's on things to help us best set things up in a way that will work for as many fans as possible. :-) - Tim

Ne Obliviscaris

One can get their hopes up that we are coming, and still have patience that it won't be tomorrow ;-) - Tim

Hannah and Avintha Fonseka

Please make it the first day of next week. My heart is having trouble with the wait lol.

Tina

.... I'm not a patient person .... ;) (and Joey was worried you'd clash with Solstafir, but Solstafir tour in November/December, so that's not an issue. :) )

Anonymous

Thank you so much for giving us the pleasure to listen to the new album before the official release-date.... and for all the other goodies you are offering. ...Can't wait! :-)

Joey van der Kruk

Woops, haha! Right Tina, I mean WinterSun. I mean, even if it clashes, I'll certainly go see NeO above anyone else. However I am very excited about Solstafir!

Eric Zibert

A hugely welcome treat! But where can I find the digital copy?

Tina

nowhere? not yet?

KC

So glad you guys are getting closer to your goal and holding up a great model of how this can work for other bands!! Lots of love from Boston. ❤️

Ne Obliviscaris

Thanks Kathryn! See you in Boston soon we promise ;-) - Tim

KC

Yay! I like the sound of that. :)

Oliv Kelly Howe

Will the download for $10 lifetime members have FLAC available or MP3 only? Is the WAV for $25 tier members 24 bit?
