On July 1st internationally, Personal Records is proud
to present In Nothingness' highly
anticipated debut album, Black Sun Funeral,
on CD format.
Hailing from Tokyo, Japan's In Nothingness formed
in 2014 and existed under the moniker The Eternal Nothingness until 2016. The
work of one Lord Nothingness, the first recording under the new moniker In Nothingness came during
the autumn of 2017 with the Into the Nothingness...
EP. Shockingly developed, the band's debut EP presented a newcomer well versed
in the old ways of melodic death metal - specifically, the mid '90s boom that
started in Sweden and spread across Europe during the rest of the decade.
Alas, that four-song/20-minute EP was but a tease for In Nothingness' grandiose debut
album, Black Sun Funeral. Immediately and
breathtakingly, Black Sun Funeral digs deep into
one's heartstrings and utterly possesses with its majestic 'n' melodic surge
& sway. Indeed, the spectres of melodic death metal's most classic bands -
equally early Dark Tranquility and In Flames but also Sweden's Eucharist, Gates
of Ishtar, and Night in Gales - loom large over In
Nothingness, but the mainman's songwriting simply STUNS with
its wild 'n' winding creativity. The hooks are HUGE yet never too commercial -
again, this is DEATH METAL above all - and the leads have a hummable,
almost-folkloric feel, but thankfully stay far away from folk metal cliches.
Most of all, you can FEEL the emotion - darkness, desire, death - coursing
through In Nothingness' execution,
which is feverish and loose, given grit by the album's sympathetic production.
And, after a mere 40 minutes of magickal mesmerism, you'll want to return to Black Sun Funeral again and again
and again...
Many elder styles of metal in general and death metal in particular have been
resurrected in these increasingly reflective times. However, so few records can
channel the bristling brilliance of the original melodic death metal wave quite
like In Nothingness' Black Sun Funeral. Bear witness to
what's bound to be a modern classic!
