Nexwomb
– Exegesis of Nihility
Morbid
Chapel Records (CD) / Nihilistic Noise Propaganda (Tape)
This
is the first album from Oregon's Nexwomb, which embodies nothing and
nothing less than pure Black/Death savagery spawned from the very
depths of hell. The songs on this album can be characterized by its
immensely cavernous production, complemented by a series of explosive
and well-played riffs that keep you interested while constantly
bombarding you with caveman violence from beginning to end. There is
a hint of dissonance in the riffs that adds an extra layer of murk to
the overall experience, while the drums constantly pound your skull
with brute force. The vocals are so incredibly feral that you
wonder if it's even a human and not some mutant cave beast behind the
mic, though metal archives will confirm that it's a human who goes by
the name Vardlokker and who is also behind killer projects like
Witchbones and Conduit of Chaos. “Exegesis of Nihility” is an
extremely ferocious pursuit of barbaric Black/Death that is both
impossibly primal and viscerally enjoyable for those who dig this
kind of stuff. Some idiots on the internet will attempt to sound
lofty by calling this "caverncore", but you should never
listen to them, because most of those who use these terms are usually
self-absorbed hipsters who have nothing better to do than spout
pseudo-intellectual nonsense on the internet all day. This is violent
and bestial black/death metal. Simple as that. (HT)
