Nekura are a band from Ukraine that plays a mixture of emo, screamo and blackened hardcore and this is a review of their self titled 2023 ep which was released by Venona Records.
Melodic riffing starts off the ep along with some screamo style vocals a few seconds later which also capture the aggression of black metal at times. All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them while the music also adds in a great amount of post hardcore and some of the vocals also add in a shouting emo style.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style while some of the vocals also add in more of a clean style. Spoken word parts can also be heard briefly and when the music speeds up a small amount of tremolo picking and blast beats are also utilized.
Nekura plays a musical style that takes black metal, post hardcore, emo and screamo and mixes them together to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in Ukrainian and cover painful heartbreaks and emotional turmoil.
In my opinion Nekura are a very decent sounding mixture of screamo, emo and blackened hardcore and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Like The Morning Moon" and "As The Breaking Light Of Day". 7 out of 10.
