As Negative Black, the third LP from Germany's
sludge juggernaut BLACK SHAPE OF NEXUS, nears its North American
street date this Tuesday June 5th via Exile on Mainstream, today the entire
album is streaming via the online kingpins of the doom/stoner scene, The
Obelisk, RIGHT HERE.
Surging with eighty minutes of BLACK SHAPE OF NEXUS'
own brew of some of the most down-tempo sludge metal on the planet, Negative
Black 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.
Interviews with BLACK SHAPE OF NEXUS are
available anytime via Skype and email.
"...a massive sledge of inhuman tonal weight and
darkly hopeless ambiance." - The Obelisk
"BSON have practiced a particularly muscular style
of sludge/doom over the course of their seven years and two LPs as a band, and
their latest and first effort in four years stays the course on that path of
decimation." - BrooklynVegan
"This is easily one of the albums of the year - a
near perfect masterpiece... their best and their most extreme. 9/10." -
Doommantia
"Droning and repetitive sounds echo through the
electronic abyss and Black Shape Of Nexus build to a truly terrifying climax
that’s frighteningly alien in its execution. 8/10" - This Is Not A Scene
"The sound on this album is larger than the speakers
can take. Horns up and weapons ready folks..." - Absolute Zero Media
