Bio:
N.Tesla
is a post-metal band from Oryol, RU with a specific atmosphere of
universal callousness.
In
2008, the first (but not the final) line-up of this space circus had
emerged in the town of Rostok, Germany. The project remained idle for
a couple of years. Finally, in 2011 the fans of condensedmilk-like
oozing music met each other in the town of Oryol, Russia to share it
from heart to heart and fill the collective consciousness.

Review:
N.Tesla
is an electrifying Post-Metal band. OK, sorry for the bad joke there.
But joking aside N.Tesla is a Russian Post-Metal band who have just
released their stunning debut album – Lux Manifesto, which blends
elements of ambient vibes, post-hardcore and crushing sludge metal
riffs for one pulsating ride.
This
is not your most straight-forward Post-Metal album as N.Tesla don't
play by the rules. They add a strangely hypnotic feel to their music.
It's very different to the likes of Isis, The Ocean and Neurosis and
that is a very good thing indeed. As the band develop their own sound
over the album's 34 minute running time.
Tracks
such as North, Spring, Aurora and Lux Manifesto – show you the full
passion and creativity of this epic band as the have delivered some
truly emotional and haunting post-metal riffs. Vocalist – Dima –
shows his full vocal range from the very first second at this dude
can sing. His shrieks are very powerful indeed which gives N.Tesla
music a dangerous vibe.
N.Tesla
add a wide range of electronic based samples which really adds to the
atmosphere especially on Lux Manifesto with the band adding strange
guitar noises and riffs in return. Yeah I think this is a great album
indeed as it has the courage to be different compared to other
Post-Metal albums.
Determination
Of Giants is another standout track from the album as it has some
lush progressive jazz like vibes lurking amongst the Post-Metal
carnage. Something that wouldn’t be a miss from an Opeth album not
a Post-Metal album. But it shows you what a talented bunch of
musicians this band actually is.
All
in all Lux Manifesto is an excellently produced album from start to
finish. It shows another quality band coming from the Russian
Sludge/Post-Metal scene. N.Tesla may put a few people off with their
style of music but if you want something different and original
within the Post-Metal scene than Lux Manifesto speaks loud volumes.

Brilliant
and Highly Recommended.
