Band
Info:
Nibiru
is a massive trio formed in Italy by Ardath, RI, and Siatris, with a
huge abuse of watts, tribal rhythms and enochian chants, Nibiru
redefines the concept that underlies "psychedelic sludge".
from the debut album "Caosgon" released in February 2013
until the explosive "Netrayoni" out in February 2014, the
watchword is: ritualising improvisation. What makes Nibiru an
individual project compared to the mass is that every single piece is
born from improvisation. No preconceived notion, pure primal
instinct, frenetic drum and gaping bass lines create plots on which
harrowing guitars give a new meaning to the word "psychedelic",
all enriched by ancient vocals born to open your mind and see beyond.

Review:
Almost
a year after releasing one of my fave records of 2013, Italian Psych
Sludge Metallers – Nibiru are back to inflict more sonic
devastation upon to the world.
They
have just released a truly stunning two-part album that runs for a
mind-expanding 95 mins or so.
Netrayoni:
Ritual 1 – The Kaula’s Circle
Netrayoni:
Ritual 2 – Tears of Kaly
If
you are a fan of their debut album then you are in for a wild ride as
Nibiru are back stronger and stranger than ever before. Nibiru have
further enhanced their self-proclaimed – Tribal Psychedelic Sludge
– experience. Imagine BONG jamming with Ufomammut and that is only
a glimpse of what to expect on this psychedelic journey into the
unknown.
Nibiru
have embraced the Drone side of their music unlike ever before as it
violently clashes with the warped out vibes of their Doom/Sludge
Metal riffs they brought to the world less than a year ago. The first
album is probably the most drone based of the two releases with
plenty of twists and turns to keep you in a trance through out.
Nibiru add distorted voices that echo from a distant world or
dimension with the heavy and slow pounding sludge metal riffs trying
to confuse you at every turn.
Netrayoni
is an unconventional album, as it has no set narrative or structure
to fall back on. This is Nibiru doing what Nibiru does so well.
Playing music that only they can truly understand as this album will
frustrate, confuse, delight and thrill you all in equal measure.
Nibiru leave no stone unturned as they blaze through 95 mins of
immense Psych/Drone based Doom/Sludge Metal music that comes from a
long lost world. It may have some recognisable speeches and noises
through out the epic running time but this album will leave you
emotionally drained at times. As the band lay on epic riffs that,
have the power to last for days.
When
Nibiru do include vocals they are very hard to decipher and that is
the point. They are carrying the same vibe from their last album but
on a bigger scale as it still feels the band are trying to
communicate with a lost civilization of some kind. If you love the
first epic track – Kshanika Mukta – then you are going to dig
Nibiru in a big way. If after those incredible 17 mins, you are
feeling rather unmoved or slightly nauseous by the experience well my
advice is to turn back now as the album(s) only become stranger,
crazier and louder with each passing moment.
Netrayoni
is a deeply moving and involving album that becomes a better
experience the more times you listen to it. Therefore, you may need a
few listens before getting the full effect. As you are going to miss
a whole load of noises and riffs as Nibiru have a lot going on at
times. This is a very-multi layered album.
The
2nd part of the album feels more of a spiritual successor to their
debut album as it features the same sort of music that made me a fan
of their music in the first place. It is a lot more straight forward
compared to Part 1 but do not think the guys lay off the crazy psych
sonic riffs they played earlier as they do not. Part 2 is just as
imaginative though the band combining the two worlds from Netrayoni
and Caosgon for one wild unpredictable ride.
Netrayoni
is a surreal psychedelic nightmare come to life. It embraces the
crazier side of music with more riffs you could possibly imagine. It
is a truly stunning work of art though it may divide opinions within
the Doom/Sludge Metal community as it you need to give this album
your full attention. Even if you lose one second of concentration you
may have a different experience altogether than the one you should be
expecting.
Netrayoni
is one of the most creative albums I have heard in a very long time.
Nibiru are one of the new breed of Italian Sludge Metal bands and I
recommend you check them out now, as Netrayoni is a brilliant and
uncompromising album from a truly talented band that can only become
better. I cannot wait to see what they come up with next as Nibiru
have potential to be one of the most creative and forward thinking
bands within the scene.
Excellent
and Highly Recommended.
