Hanging The Nihilist – Prophetic Blasphemy
Prime Collective
8,5/10,0
Brief:
Danish deathcore band HANGING THE NIHILIST are back and ready to present their debut full-length ‘Prophetic Blasphemy’ – an album filled with breakdowns and epic compositions, where each track both brutally and beautifully expresses the tale of divine ambition and hellish betrayal.
Since being formed in 2016, HANGING THE NIHILIST has played shows with bands such as SHOKRAN, IMMINENCE, MØL, CABAL, among others. After the release of their EP ‘Crow’, the six-piece debuted at the UK metal scene with their performance at TECH METAL FEST 2019, with headliners DYING FETUS, MONUMENTS and LEPROUS. The coming debut album marks a new level of ambition and direction for the band, revealing what the hard-hitting six-piece has to offer the world of extreme metal. ‘Prophetic Blasphemy’ has been recorded and produced by renowned sound engineer Chris Kreutzfeldt (CABAL, Unseen Faith, MØL).

Comments:
Between death and extreme metal ambiences, Prophetic Blasphemy dusts off a genre too often sclerotic by a lack of inspiration. The discovery of this album sounds like a revelation!
