Nihill's guitarist, producer and main songwriter VITRIOL returns to the front with a 4 track EP. Filled with the same harsh guitar sounds, guttural screams, unnerving sound design and hypnotic rhythms you recognize from his previous bands Ulveblod and Nihill, but also with an almost serene approach to his black art.
From the guitar blizzard of opener Hecate to the whiplash of harsh noise in closing track Shattered Reality, VITRIOL gives way to his unrelenting power in the darkest of nights. Some might recognize bits and pieces of his acclaimed Roadburn performance from last year, distilled into 4 uncompromising slabs of experimental, doomed out, extreme black metal infused meditations. VITRIOL pledges allegiance to the anti-cosmic entities that came before all and will exist long after all time has passed. Feel his raw anger and devotion in this EP and get ready for a full length album...
