Nexul

Today, Iron Bonehead Productions sets December 4th as the international release date for Nexul‘s highly anticipated new EP, Scythed Wings of Poisonous Decay, on CD and 12″ vinyl formats.

It was but 2017 when Nexul released their intimidating first album, fittingly titled Paradigm of Chaos. Very long awaited, Nexul‘s first full-length was the rigorous culmination of grave times and dark deeds spent in the shadows since 2011, first forecasted by the Nexulzifer demo in 2013. Not one for half measures – nor are any bands who are part of the Ordo Satanae Imperium collective, which includes now-labelmates Hellvetron – Nexul brewed Paradigm of Chaos as needed, steeping its essence until the time was right to strike. When it did, the album commanded shock and awe in equal measure.

So shall follow Nexul‘s latest opus. Something of a shadow-self to Paradigm of Chaos, Scythed Wings of Poisonous Decay is both rawer and more refined, more traditional and unorthodox in equal measure, stridently death metal by both definition and the band’s own iteration of such. Where its predecessor deliberately walked along the threshold between all-consuming chaos and sheer insanity, Nexul‘s new EP finds a rich ‘n’ robust balance between hammering bestiality, vortextural surge, and ancient expressions of the Metal of Death. “This record was written in dedication to Samael as the Angel of Death,” the band explains, “a journey beyond the highest heavens to the deepest Abyss in genuflection of all powers of Downfall and Demise,” and indeed does Scythed Wings of Poisonous Decay follow suit with an exploration of extremes that feels subtle, nuanced, almost ethereal, despite the characteristically overwhelming onslaught of sonic energies. Much lurks above and below here, where feeble ‘n’ feckless ears dare not tread; immerse oneself, however, and feel rapture of a most forbidden variety. Or, simply feel the molten crush of absolute POWER as its spreads outward like the eight arrows from the very Symbol of Chaos, reflective of Nexul‘s utterly mesmerizing presence onstage in recent years.

Unlike those cowards who stay away from those stages nor stand behind their creations, Nexul walk with confidence and unflinching self-belief and now unfurl Scythed Wings of Poisonous Decay!

Texan black/death cult Nexul stream a new song Hexecration from their massively anticipated debut album, Paradigm of Chaos. Set for international release on July 28th via Hells Headbangers check it here:

Nexul are a part of the Ordo Satanae Imperium collective – which includes fellow Hells Headbangers cults Nyogthaeblisz and Hellvetron, with whom Nexul share members – and one of the most exciting developments in American black/death metal in recent years. Together, this trio of bands explore death’s deepest mysteries and provide sonic/lyrical keys to the Beyond. Of them, Nexul are the newest, making their recorded debut with the Nexulzifer demo in 2013, which Hells Headbangers released on both 7″ vinyl and cassette tape. Across three songs and a dozen minutes, Nexulzifer portrayed a potent vision of Luciferian death metal magick – heaving, hideous, and molten to the touch – and formed the foundation on which Nexul built their next illuminating vision.

And now, that illumination arrives with Paradigm of Chaos. Compared to the more basic, bestial-intensive Nexulzifer, the Nexul of Paradigm of Chaos is one that walks the threshold between all-consuming chaos and sheer insanity, between ravaging death magick and the ethereal vibrations both above and especially below: both heeding the boundless powers which drive them while disregarding/disrespecting any notions of “tradition.” As the band explains, “This Paradigm of Chaos was conceived over three years, during which time we plunged into entropy and strife, either through our own making or tribulation from external forces. What has emerged is a corporeal/ethereal mirror, a destructive pattern woven of audial lunacy and spiritual fervour towards the Great Dragon that is called LEVIATHAN.”

In a relatively short amount of time, Nexul have become masters of wielding sound as a veritable weapon; here, on Paradigm of Chaos, it is literally overwhelming and tangibly MASSIVE to behold. But within that ghastly, gibbering maw of oblivion lays nuance and dynamics: this is more than just senseless noise, and certainly more than rote “brutality” for its own sake. It is verily the death rattle of the soul, and those reverberations ring infinitely – and forebodingly – across a canvas which is even more heaving, even more hideous, and untouchably molten. There are layers upon layers upon layers to this Paradigm of Chaos, and the corridors down which one can wander are seemingly infinite. Rarely has black/death metal been this unremittingly violent whilst keenly subtle.

“Here set we up a curse-pole, and this curse we turn onto יהוה and שְׁכִינָה. This curse we turn unto all slaves of the flesh that they will wither and dissipate as cancer eats the body until the Crown is dissolved and Naught is left save for vultures to rend.” – Ν.Brairava, under the influence of madness for NEXUL
