Black Shape of Nexus Post New Demo and Update on Recording
German atmospheric noisemakers Black Shape of Nexus have a new full-length in progress. When it arrives, it will be the follow-up to 2012’s Negative Black (streamed here) and the Mannheim six-piece’s fourth long-player overall, their self-titled debut having come in 2007 followed one year later by their sophomore outing, Microbarome Meetings. Their most recent release is a 2014 split with Lazarus Blackstar (streamed here), which boasted two new tracks including the irreverently titled “Honor Found in Delay,” an 11-minute basher playing off the name of the last Neurosis record.
The new demo “Sachsenheim” offers a first taste of the new Black Shape of Nexus material, through whether it is meant for inclusion on their next full-length — due tentatively in 2016 — or their upcoming four-track EP, which is set to release before the end of this year, I don’t know. It’s a demo, so it shouldn’t necessarily surprise that the sound is kind of raw, but it should give some idea of what the band is shooting for in following up Negative Black and that split. If you’re wondering, they’re going for something heavy. Also noisy. And heavy. Did I mention heavy?
Black Shape of Nexus will also take part in an upcoming tribute to Hellhammer to be released by Fucking Kill Records. Vocalist Malte Seidel sent the following update down the PR wire:
First of all we are currently working on a new record. Working title is “You Must Relax”. IF we are not too lazy the release will be in 2016.
Furthermore we’ve covered Hellhammer’s Triumph of Death for the “A fucking tribute to HELLHAMMER” compilation on Fucking Kill Records. Don’t ask me when this thing will be released.
Also: we’ve recorded a four track EP which should be released by the end of this year. It is called – surprise, surprise – The BSON EP.
