{"product_id":"nekus-death-nova-upon-the-barren-harvest-cd","title":"NEKUS - Death Nova Upon The Barren Harvest CD","description":"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.","brand":"Blood Harvest","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55793620287814,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0851\/2300\/6790\/files\/5cbfdc3bfe2484ae2362267e6039c698.jpg?v=1768054203","url":"https:\/\/selfmadegod-store.com\/products\/nekus-death-nova-upon-the-barren-harvest-cd","provider":"Selfmadegod Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
