Ahhh how time passes so quickly! Our 3rd opus URN has turned 8 years old and Tim shares some reflections on this album and some memories from that time.

What are some of of your memories of URN

To me, Urn is tied to the early days of the Ne Obluminati as the first album released since the program started. Loved all the early reveals you did here as a result, but the coolest part was undoubtedly when you recruited some lucky fans to do the vocals in Libera Pt. 1. What a great touch!

Of course that also means Ne Obluminati is over eight years old (nearing ten, by the looks of it) 👴

I remember I was painting the rumpus downstairs listening to Urn over and over when it came out. My daughter was having a Halloween party/ leaving primary school party so I gave myself three days to pull apart the room, paint it and put up Halloween decorations. Urn was my friend! Amazing album and it was awesome to immerse myself in it. Feels like not that long ago but my daughter has done all her high school and been working a couple of years since then!

Urn will always hold a very special place in my heart, because it was released shortly after I discovered you. Eyrie is a very important song for me for several knows reasons, but Urn Pr. 1&2 are my favorites on the Album. It’s always great to go back to Urn and listen to it from the first to the last tone.

I feel like Urn doesn't get the love it deserves. Despite it being really tough to choose, I think it might be my favorite NeO album, it's stellar from start to finish! Is there any chance it'll get the Citadel treatment for its own 10th anniversary - i.e. be played in full on tour? That would be amazing. As a side note, it feels like Australia just had an incredible 2017 - between Urn and C-Horse's "In Contact", two of my all-time favorite albums, and Hollow Knight, my all-time favorite game, all releasing that year, I can't think of another year where a single country put out so much incredible media all at once.

Urn is such a wonderful album. Maybe on the next tour to promote album no.5, you could continue the ‘playing two entire albums’ format and include this one. I would love to hear James sing this one, I think he would do an amazing job. Have a great U.S. tour and I will see you in London with Imminence just before Christmas!

I love this album. It was the first one that I was waiting for to come out after I discovered you guys and I was following all of the updates on here. It was an exciting time. And then I preordered it when preorders were open, right as I was boarding a flight to go to Wacken open air. And that album is still one of my favorites.

Oh I have so many wonderful, meaningful memories of the process of watching this album be born behind the scenes here on Patreon! My name being in the credits is still a crowning achievement to me! And being so closely involved in the seeing “how the sausage is made” was just so, so enriching as a dedicated fan of music who appreciates the work done by musicians so deeply. Downloading the album early and pressing play in particular was an iconic moment for me. To this day, it’s my favorite NeO record and a personal favorite album altogether! Just waiting to see eyrie and urn live some day 😭😭😭. I intend for Eyrie to have a prominent place on our wedding playlist. It’s going to be the song I use to slip some metal to my non metal peers and hopefully get them to see beauty in places they don’t normally look for it

Urn reminds me of the start of my journey on Patreon. I had joined just a few months before the album was released and I remember getting to see a lot of behind the scenes videos for the recording process. I also got to hear quite a bit of the album before it was released. And of course, I had pre-ordered it so I was tremendously excited to get that one in the mail. Hurricane Irma had just rolled through my neck of the woods, so I got to listen to Urn on repeat while I was doing hurricane cleanup. The 2017 headlining tour was also the first time I got to see NeO live. As for favorite songs, "Eyrie" is probably still my favorite from the album, followed very closely by the "Urn" brothers. Thanks for reminding us about Urn's birthday! It was fun to reminisce about when it came out!
