Necktarium

Another lazy post, yes. I don’t know what I have been doing really. I just cannot bring myself to write anything as of late. I have been aware of Necktarium long before Abbas made a Myspace page. I have been fortunate enough to preview the tracks long before they made it to Myspace but still, let me just attribute this to a lack of almost everything (see what I did there?). :D Necktarium is beauty that has a Black Metal posturing. I do not think lumping the band together with Alcest or any other Lantlos clone band would do. Whatever you want to call it, it is for you to decide. I merely would like you to lend Necktarium your ears.

Bigotry – Neurotic

00

My first exposure and undoubtedly, the first exposure of the readership of the blog to Bigotry, comes from the Midnight Heartbreak Sessions Split we Aus Rine guys did. Bigotry was fairly ambient at the time but music should stay evolving. Taimur Mazhar, my long standing band mate, is out with the official Bigotry album entitled Neurotic. The overall sound on the album is very hard to pigeonhole, really and if I had to pick a name, I would go with Grouper, Einsturzende Neubauten and the Psychic Paramount spliced together. I cannot be sure though because I have only heard one song yet. I think it would probably pay you to go ahead and check it out anyway. Just how many albums does the Pakistani Music Underground get to see the release of on average per year? VERY FEW! Go ahead and check it out. Support! By the way, expect a podcast soon.
