Death Nova Upon The Barren Harvest

by NEKUS

supported by

tr_🇺🇦 Short outing of primitive cavernous death metal beyond good and evil. Guitars are so low, they are like a wide black smear on a ruined picture someone applied in his abandonment. The clear drums and the vocals contrast this nicely. Favorite track: Putrid Harvester.

about

BLOOD HARVEST RECORDS is proud to present NEKUS' striking debut mini-album, Death Nova Upon the Barren Harvest, on CD, 12" vinyl, and cassette formats.

A brand-new formation hailing from Germany, it's not surprising that NEKUS have thus far been cloaked in darkness: truly, their Metal of Death is bottomless in its depths. To experience this band is to plunge oneself into ichorous, unknowable DARKNESS; it's all-caps DEATH METAL shot straight from (and back into) The Void.

With literally no warning whatsoever, from that Void arrives NEKUS' debut recording, Death Nova Upon the Barren Harvest: a title portending its contents to an almost absurd degree. Throughout the course of its four-song/28-minute runtime, NEKUS' mini-album pushes and plunders the most desolate expanses of what "death metal" is and especially could be, taking a paradoxically avant-garde approach to total caveman constructions. Riffs do indeed exist here in these expanses, unlike so much other "cavernous" death metal; they blanket and then suffocate the listener with sepulchral horror, as atmospheric as they are attacking. Below-the-gutter/above-the-cosmos voice congeals into that sickening riffery to create a most unsettling soundfield, with each epic-yet-not track deliriously dragging the listener to and fro, defiling sanity and subconscious alike. And to think...this is but a mere start for NEKUS.

Wrapped in a hellishly humid and completely analog production, with suitably shadow-draped artwork to boot, NEKUS Death Nova Upon the Barren Harvest is the glorious beginning of the END.

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu

An excellent blend of black metal and death metal sounds. The whole thing is just a delightfully creepy listen! The dual vocal attack is great. There is a lot of tremolo in the guitar riffs, alternating between low and crushing tones and blistering high tones. Excellent album, beginning to end! klflick1980
