Nightbringer (USA) –
Terra Damnata 14.04.2017
Season Of Mist
Nightbringer from
Colorado, USA was born in 1999 by Naas Alcameth who have or has a few
other projects, like Akhlys; Bestia Arcana (with other Nightbringer
members) and Nox Corvus who went to his own path. Now in 2017 after
they ate a lot of members with a lot of split and four full length is
a quintet including for example Menthor, who is the drummer in
Lvcifyre and much more.
Five members in a Black
Metal band never sounds too good and in case of Nightbringer is
fairly true. United States created with great Death Metal bands, but
only a few evaluable Black Metal bands. First, I think they really
want to follow European Black Metal, but the well-known, mainstream
way such as Dimmu Borgir; early Cradle Of Filth; late Emperor or
newer Dark Funeral. Their music is too complex and want to be very
evil, but they just uses boring, meaningless themes.
I acknowledge their
knowledge in occult and music too, but not in creating of Black
Metal. For that need something more to know in the dimensions of
spiritual blackness. There were/are and will a lot of great Black
Metal bands in whole world, but much more so called Black Metal bands
whose don't understand the creativity of black
There are a lot of bands
whose start their existence under the veil of any other “bigger”
band, but can grow through above this child disease and from servant
become the master. In case of Nightbringer was not so successful this
event even they are at fifth full length.
Dense, complex music with
a lot of keyboard. Including a lot of blastbeat, but also doomy
slowing, ramming, shallow creeping. The only song that I can
highlight is the sixth 'Inheritor of a Dying World' all other songs
just for mainstream lovers.
