NEBIROS - Guerreros De Lucifer (12" LP on Black Vinyl)
Germany | Black
Detailed Description
NEBIROS was formed in 1990 in Medellin, Colombia by Jovanni Garcia, aka Sacrilegus. Joined by drummer Black Satan and bassist/guitarist Feretrum, NEBIROS stood out among their chaotic Ultrametal peers in Colombia by playing mid-paced, occult black metal in the vein of SAMAEL, ROTTING CHRIST, and "Deathcrush"-era MAYHEM. Their first demo is the sole recording featuring Sacrilegus before his untimely murder in 1992, although his lyrics would be used for several more years. Black Satan was soon replaced by Dominus Saevitum, and the group would remain a duo throughout the rest of its initial run. Their debut full-length "Guerreros de Lucifer" arrived in 1996 and remains an outstanding example of 90s black metal. Each of its eight tracks is a fully realized piece, with a mournful sense of melodicism driving their overall musical vision. While homage is paid to their aforementioned influences, NEBIROS' songwriting skill and genuine conviction place them directly in conversation with their European counterparts as opposed to a mere genre exercise. The epic title track alone is worth the price of admission. With a low-fidelity recording style and a truly cult cover photo, "Guerreros de Lucifer" belongs in the canon of classic international 90s black metal. Originally self-released by the band in 1996, NWN! Productions is proud to bring this release to a deservedly wider audience.
