Nihill - Krach by Fantoom

From the band Nihill's first record (which also happens to be the first of a trilogy), KRACH, is a piece of a puzzle forming a key to reach for death and beyond. A transfiguration into a new spiral leading ever inwards. This transfiguration is caught in the music.

Imploding funeral drones, raging mechanical ice winds and unearthly screams capture this end of the mortal body. The leaving of this morbid insanity we call life is reflected in the music. Recommended for fans of Death Spell Omega and Sunn O))).

For some very few bands, using a genre tag as a descriptor becomes unfair and largely irrelevant. With their album Krach, Nihill could easily be labeled any number of things: there is some ripping Deathspell Omega/Blut Aus Nord-style black metal; there is some startlingly slow Moss/Buried At Sea-style noise doom; there is heavy dark Encomiast/Raison d'Etre-style noise drone.
