"Disharmonium - Nahab" CD by Blut Aus Nord

The darkness was always teeming with unexplained sounds...' (HPL)

With 'Nahab' - the second part of the Disharmonium Cycle - BLUT AUS NORD return, driven, to the eerie, nightmarish realms of H.P. Lovecraft, reflecting them in a mirror of terrifying black metal madness.

Similar to the two dark chambers of their debut 'Disharmonium - Undreamable Abysses' released in 2022 and the accompanying compilation 'Lovecraftian Echoes,' this latest emanation is similarly womb-like, rich in detail, disturbed, and transformative.

Musically influenced only by the extensive oeuvre of the band, 'Nahab' has a higher proportion of deranged vocal mania compared to BAN's recent Lovecraftian explorations. The uncanny dynamics are better executed, the band's distinctive melodic power amplified, and the guitars - tuned lower for added resonance - flow in tandem with staggering grooves like a stygian tsunami.

In the dead-eyed trance of a demonically conjured entity, BLUT AUS NORD once again channeled esoteric folklore and modern violence into another phenomenal piece of outsider art that does justice to their own mythos and monstrosity. Indeed, a crowning conclusion to the horror.
