Nonexistence are a 1 man band from Austria that plays a very atmospheric hybrid of black and doom metal and this is a review of their 2013 album "Antartica" which was released by Candlelight Records.
Drums range from slow to mid paced playing with no fast drumming or blast beats being present on this recording, while the synths bring a very dark, atmospheric and experimental sound to the recording, as for the bass playing it has a very dark tone with riffs that follow the riffing that are coming out of the guitars.
Rhythm guitars range from slow to mid paced riffs that combine black and doom metal together to create a sound of t heir own with a great amount of dark sounding melodies being thrown into the riffing as well as some soft and clean playing which brings progressive elements to the recording, while the lead guitars are very dark and melodic sounding doom metal guitar solos and leads.
Vocals range from grim sounding black metal screams to deep doom/death metal growls as well as a brief use of clean singing, while the lyrics cover cosmic and metaphysical themes, as for the production it has a very strong, powerful, heavy and dark sound with some of the songs being long and epic in length.
In mu opinion Nonexistence are a very great sounding hybrid of atmospheric black and melodic doom and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Vast Abysses Inside" "The Void Of No Void" and "Starless Aeons". RECOMMENDED BUY.
