As Negative Black, the monolithic
third LP from Germany's BLACK SHAPE OF NEXUS oozes towards
North American release, the band today proudly drops the third track from the
album on the public today. Witness the sheer aural pulverization of this band
through one of the "shorter songs on the album," by streaming the
near-eight-minute-long "60WV" AT BROOKLYN VEGAN.
Recently the band released the album's second track
"400H" which can still be streamed VIA TERRORIZER.
Having just returned from a successful tour of Germany, BLACK
SHAPE OF NEXUS will continue to book new events throughout Europe and
beyond in the months ahead in support of Negative Black. Footage
of the band performing the track "14D" from the new album live in
Athens and more can be viewed HERE.
Set for North American release on June 5th, the band's first
release for the eclectic Exile On Mainstream label, Negative Black surges
with nearly eighty minutes of mammoth, slow-motion BLACK SHAPE OF NEXUS sludge/doom
savagery. Recorded at the mighty Tonmeisterei Studio, Negative Black --
an album four years in the making -- marks a new step for the band, carving a
path into their foreseeable future. While the outfit already bears the
reputation for unfurling some of the most destructive but still
coherently-flowing sludge metal available, incorporating outside elements of
crust, black metal and soundscape persuasion at times, Negative Black surges
to even deeper caverns of auditory obliteration, pummeling you with painfully
slow doom and finishing you off with acrid, harsh drones, and giving down-tempo
a whole new meaning.
