TRUP – Nie

A deeply unsettling and inhumanly raw slab of noise-infused black metal is what this sinister Polish horde offers. Hypnotic and trance-inducing are certainly words that come to mind when immersing oneself in these hellish and oppressive soundscapes, and everything about this musical endeavor reeks of misanthropy and contempt. Dark vocals coupled with dissonant, pummeling riffs and then topped off with a loud and rumbling rhythm section that sounds borderline unhinged and either close to exploding or imploding – not really sure which but suffice to say, Nie is incredibly effective and downright frightening with respect to making you feel miserable and akin to vermin. My favorite cut is the creepy and strangely majestic ‘31’, which is nothing less than a journey through the worst corners of one’s mind, and a relatively varied one at that from a purely musical perspective.

In short, this is sludgy black metal noise that delivers, and pure evil and disgust are what this ugly fucker is all about. But pay attention and sharpen your senses when listening to it as there are many layers and textures to it.
