Nihil Novi Sub Sole - Nothing New Under The Sun, obviously this is a name Marco Kehrens, well known from his work as mastermind of Deinonychus, doesn't want to live up to with his new one-man band. If you're expecting doom metal now I'll have to disappoint you. Instead of slow and crushing riffs, Nihil Novi focuses on dark, detailed and depressing ambient soundscapes. Tense keyboard passages that seem to be building up to something that never happens are part of this world of sound just as much as militaristic drumming, solemn yet majestic synths and elements borrowed from industrial music. Among others, samples of a man sobbing, the bleating of a sheep and a German speech about the artistic roots of the nation - not entirely unreminiscent of national-socialist propaganda - round off the music. This promo CD seems to have an ominous, threatening atmosphere about it, especially the last track; "I Rule? You Follow!" Read more ›› |
