Nihilistic Stench…NADIWRATH Review

Everyday, all day I want my black metal sprayed red with the blood of punk rock. Now one band that can deliver the kind of mind-damaged music I need to stay sane is Nadiwrath. They perfectly balance the the hate of black metal with the raw fury of punk rock to create a sound that is a weapon of mass destruction. This Greek band killed shit ten times over with their 2011 release Nihilistic Stench. Every tune on this album will charge right through you, & might cut off all of your limbs in the process. Nadiwrath totally rips holes in sound itself – these dudes are masters of the blackened arts, & they do not fuck around. When you hear songs like “Two Face Shit Fuckers” & their chaotic groove gets you under their spell, the rest is history, you not be able to stop head banging. What really makes Nadiwrath so rad is that they never lose the sense of rotting melody that all of their songs have, because on the real, this band makes catchy songs that are a call to arms for all dark warriors. The riffs on Nihilistic Stench are different degrees of murder & pain but all of them will feel good to your noir soul. When the drums on “There Is No Light” kick in, you will feel the like all of the plagues known to man have descended down upon you & you will think to yourself, damn, the dark side is the right side. The song that’s going to really make you say unholy shit is the last song on Nihilistic Stench called “Memories Are Dead” – this tune will strangle you with hateful emotion. The vocalists in this band are vile & subhuman in their delivery, which only adds to why this band is beyond sick!!! I’m going to make this easy for you to understand: imagine all of your favorite d-beat & black metal bands, multiply that times 666, and you still would not come close to NADIWRATH. Do yourself a favor – bow down to this band, because they are Black Death in human form.
