On March 24th, 2023, Season of Mist will pave the path for Exul — the new album from celebrated progressive metal outfit Ne Obliviscaris. Like its predecessors, Exul comes illustrated by the band's own Xen, who delivers a visual maelstrom to a record just as expansive. New single Equus leads the charge with an awe-inspiring delivery that towers over listeners with pristine instrumentation and glorious atmosphere.

The band comments on the track's video:

"'Equus' is dedicated to the lives lost during the lethal bushfires that scarred Australia in 2019-2020. Alongside the people who died or were affected, many millions if not billions of animals were killed or displaced from their natural habitats, the enormity of this is something that will never be forgotten, and should not be ignored. It is also a warning that the world we live in is changing from the damage we as a species have contributed to. Within this video, the dancer represents a scorched Mother Earth, from horror to humanity, ever in tune with the heart and flow of the song (and world), and ultimately aware of the inevitable and ever growing destructive cycle we are in."
