Nox - Ancestral Arte Negro (2016)

cover

Hailing from the dark depths of South America, today we have Colombian trio Nox and their demoralizingly crushing Black Metal 7-inch “Ancestral Arte Negro”. Featuring four raw and punishing tracks, this release brings forth a very organic BM sound that reminds us of the early days of the genre.

The release kicks off with the brutal onslaught brought forth by “Espectro”. The music is quite straightforward, but to the point delivering catchy riffs and powerful shrieks. The grainy sound behind the band’s sound gives it that certain vibe that 90’s releases used to have. Preparing for all-out war, “Atravesando El Umbral” is yet another powerful piece filled with pummeling drumming and a very chaotic and devastating tempo.

Continuing the onslaught, “Ancestral Arte Negro” delivers a relentless track that perfectly summarizes the band’s intensity and rawness in a few minutes. Closing with the mysterious “Esperando La Muerte”, things get a bit more atmospheric and slower paced to deliver a very eerie and creepy track.

Overall, “Ancestral Arte Negro” is one hell of a 7” that is a must have item for any Black Metal connoisseur. If you like raw and yet melodic and well balanced BM, this is one release you have to check out. Perfectly bringing back the spirit of the genre from the 90’s, Forever Plagued Records has managed to release one fundamental piece of history.
