Nekromantiker - Self Titled Lp

On their first LP, Nekromantiker continues to refine their fucking harsh noise punk style, mixing the song construction and style of classic noise punk heroes like Confuse and Gai with the sonic brutalities and effects-laden idealism of the Tokyo Sound System/New Smell scene (ie Exit Hippies, Filth Militia, Aostrapos, Stagnation, etc).The entire LP feels like the finely crafted product of a band in their prime. Mixing mid-tempo jammers with short/fast/loud hardcore shockers, straight-forward drums with obtuse/experimenting harsh noise guitars, their highest-fidelity recording yet with their best 'ghouls/skeletons/mushroom people' aesthetic yet, the result is an excellent genre exercise in "noise punk" that manages to bring a new perspective and unique personality to the canon.
