The USA-based experimental post-black metal act Cara Neir has returned for its eighth full-length album Phantasmal, a '90s-style survival horror concept featuring black metal's most enigmatic duo, due out 29 July via Zegema Beach Records.
Phantasmal is depicted as 16-track survival horror in a low-poly '90s fashion through chiptune-infused black metal, punk, and grind, serving as the sequel to Phase Out and will culminate in a trilogy. Recorded and produced by Garry Brents, the upcoming album sees the duo completely let loose with their imagination and storytelling.
Formed in Arlington, Texas, in 2008, Cara Neir is Garry Brents (Homeskin, Gonemage, ex-Sallow Moth, ex-Wildspeaker) and Chris Francis (ex-Sugar Highlands, ex-Synthetic Onslaught). Having always experimented with different sounds for each album, this is for no reason other than simply enjoying a wide range of styles.
Phantasmal is the band's second this year's release, following the 77 Myths Of Venerable Magick split with Infernal Legions Of Mordor via Foul Orc Piss Tapes and L.H.P.T. Link
