Bio:
“Seeking
to lay waste in an environment already dissolute, Nomad are a 4 piece
Sludge/Doom band bred from Manchester and other likewise holes,
incorporating elements from across the spectrum with the vague
purpose of sending you on a bad trip or at least maiming you along
the way.
We
wish to bring our brand of sludge to unsuspecting and unfortunate
concert goers everywhere.

Review:
Here is another stellar
release from UK Record Label – When Planets Collide – who have
already released some stunning records this year. Now they are
releasing Nomad's excellent debut EP – The House Is Dead. A
Sludge/Doom Metal band influenced by the legendary NOLA scene though
with a few more other bands thrown in for good measure.
If you want a heavy as
fuck brutal experience to mess up your entire day then – The House
Is Dead – is the release for you. Bone-crunching guitar riffs
combined with the mighty Rev. Drian Nash's almost indescribable
guttural vocals adding a dangerous edge to the bands music.
Slaves To Mourning
feels it was created in the legendary NOLA swamps and not Manchester
from where the band actually come from. It's an epic track full of
the right ingredients for all you hard-rocking Sludge/Doom Metal
fans. It's a slow-paced track with flashes of progressive riffs
lurching in the background. This song is perfect Sludge/Doom/Stoner
Metal music to relax your nerves to after a hard day at work.
Nomad continue their
journey of heavy sludge style pile-driver riffage that will seriously
entertain the living hell out of you. Tracks such as Still Falling
Rain and The Pilgrim show that this band have something about them.
It may not be the most original of sounds but what is these days.
Nomad play to their strengths in writing kick-ass tunes which have
plenty of menace to them. And it all counts where it matters. RIFFS
and this release is full of them.
Nomad have created a
stellar EP for people to check out. Lets see what the future holds
for these hugely talented demented Sludge Rockers.
You can download this
now on BandCamp Buy Now Download. They have a Cassette Tape of the EP
as well.
Excellent
Stuff.
