The mysterious Australian one-man black metal band Nekrasov will unleash the audio punishment of his latest full-length The Mirror Void this Friday (10th November) via Prosthetic Records. With The Mirror Void, founder NKSV continues to orbit between the two poles of power electronics and black metal, but the singular focus on otherworldliness remains consistent, and while the experience is challenging to the utmost, it is also ultimately rewarding. The entire album is now available for streaming before you can buy it, give it a listen in the player below.
For over twenty years, Nekrasov has managed to produce a furious and manic sound while experimenting with a broad spectrum of avant-garde techniques beginning with his first release, Into The No-Man's Sphere Of The Ancient Days, in 2007. With ambient and industrial elements colliding against his black metal roots along with abstract vocals that approach the noise of the guitar, Nekrasov has carved out and created his own niche and cult following.
The Mirror Void is black metal reimagined. Not the tamed and domesticated sound possessed by so many bands today, not just another cool extreme metal subgenre, but instead, an alternative history where black metal dives deeper into its most challenging tendencies. Here, misanthropy is not enough, seeing as how hating mankind would still be assigning it some sort of significance. This isn't inhumanity, this is Unhumanity, the universe existing without us. Not unlike the negative metal Nekrasov's other project, Rebel Wizard, this is just more disturbing and alarming. Nekrasov is reminiscent of some unhallowed Lovecraftian vault, where the dreamer meets his dream: the abyss of mind and space alike, where he compositionally depicts the hinges in the deep recesses of the mind, that only a visionary can uncover. Once revealed, it's up to the listener on whether he or she can handle the outcome. Link
