Ex Nihilo

by Depths Above

Ippocalyptica I did not give this the proper chance last year, listening to just the first track before removing it from my wishlist. I now see the folly of my ways as Ex Nihilo is quite the black metal debut album, bringing a wide array of tastefully-integrated influences to bear in a clinically-focused and deeply-immersive package. While one of these songs is very similar to the work of Abyssal (always a good thing), the others fully speak in their own dark and gloomy voice. Bring on the sophomore!

bmurator Czech Black Metal & a debut full length. Ippocalyptica is spot on as always! This is a great album & I want more! Highly recommended!!!

Lorenzo Enthralling, expansive atmospheric blackened death metal from Czechia brought to a wider audience from this re-release by Avantgarde Music.

Drawing in post-sludge and doom facets to make the four tracks vast in scope, there are significant layers that enshroud this album. Some of them are sparse and airy, while others are entrenched in filth. There is an immediate darkness that shadows the entire roughly half hour runtime.

Hayduke X This is just so wonderfully dark and grimy! Favorite track: Here and Everywhere.

about

Born in 2016 in the sewers of Brno, Czech Republic, Depths Above is one of the underground’s best kept secret. The black metal act conveys the minds of four different individuals coming from different areas and even countries, each one with their own musical background and influences rooted in extreme and obscure music

Now abyssal and then ethereal, with neither boundary nor border: this is Ex Nihilo, a modern black metal album, with a plethora of different influences, from doom and death metal to sludge and post-metal.

Ex Nihilo was originally self-released by Depths Above themselves in 2018 on CD only, in a very limited run, and it never received any further distribution until now. As the band is hard at work on their sophomore album, at the Avantgarde Music hq we believed this stunning work deserved better.
