Riding atop the recent wave of black metal / noise hybrids that combine the bleak, frosty riffs and blackened ferocity of underground metal with blown-out, corrosive strains of industrial noise (see also Wold, Emit, Grief No Absolution, Enbilulugugal, Vargr), the Australian one-man band Nekrasov has made a substantial mark in the realm of extremist necro-racket with a series of brutally abrasive limited-edition albums.
Early on, Nekrasov's sound was steeped in caustic noise, a blazing assault doused in heavy levels of irradiated distortion and Merzbow-like skree. But more recently, he has explored less metallic regions, alternating hyperblast black metal with forays into crushing, demonic walls of noise and blasted ambience. This new full-length, his first release for Crucial Blast, is his most advanced slab of blacknoize terror so far. An octagonal prism of isolationist drone, flesh-rending black metal, otherworldly beauty, claustrophobic industrial dread and violent, suffocating strains of harsh noise, Extinction is pure, cyclonic contempt for humanity.
The album is loaded with blasting, inhuman drumming and ferocious riffing that form noise-drenched trance-scapes, but the subtle attention to texture elevates this above typical mechanized black metal projects. Immersing the listener in layers of electronic sound and using creative stereo panning techniques and other production tricks, Nekrasov creates a harsh, alien atmosphere. This is a scorching new chapter from one of the foremost bands out there fusing black metal and noise.
