Necktarium – Dreamblur RELEASED

Necktarium has been featured on the blog before but it was mostly me being a complete fanboy. This time around, however, I am going to save you a demonstration of my manlove for Wernahul and I have some music for you. As for people who have been living under a rock all this time, Necktarium is an atmospheric black metal project from Rawalpindi by Abbas Haider of Abyssed which pursues a sound inspired by the likes of Velvet Cacoon, Kauan and Lifelover with some shoegazing tendencies. Dreamblur is the title of the demo and IT KICKS ASS.  I will hopefully follow up with a review soon.
