Artist: NYNE
Album: Nyne
Year: 2006
It has been a while since I reviewed some industrial
metal from Greece. Come to think about it, I don’t think
I have ever reviewed industrial metal from Greece anyway!
So this will be the first review of a Greek band on this
page as far as I can remember, and it’s immidiately some
heavy stuff. Nyne combines black metal with industrial
metal and cold, symphonic synths. A quick look on the
website of this four-piece band tells us that they are
highly influenced by sci-fi and horror movies and that
they already played a gig with Mayhem in Athens in the
beginning of 2005. These guys describe their sound as
‘futuristic black metal’... is this really the future,
or have we heard this stuff already in the past?
‘Inner:Verse’ is the first track of the release. Pure
industrial is mixed with some classical works in the
beginning, but after some seconds Hell breaks loose. The
programming sounds like an army training, and the raw
black metal vocals fits the package extremely well.
Further on, this song sounds like a perfect symphonic
black metal song with some crazy and wicked industrial
parts. The intermezzo is maybe the most experimental
part of this song, which can even be related to
T.Raumschmiere in a way! ‘Sixth Pain’ is the second and
the longest track of the promo. While the first 15
seconds are trying to convince you that this might be a
Fear Factory influenced song, Nyne wakes you up out of
that dream forever with the rest of the track. It is a
less brutal and more atmospheric track with an EBM
sounding intermezzo and a bashing end. Decent though
surprisingly build, and don’t we all love positive
surprises? ‘Constellation of Fear’ turned out to be my
favourite track of the promo. The first 45 seconds
contains some easy listening industrial metal to get you
in the mood, which slowly transforms into a symphonic
black metal song with pumping industrial sampling and
blasting drumparts. Very atmospheric, and the movie
influences are clearly hearable here as well.
‘Necropolis’ is already the last track of the record.
This track somehow reminds me to The Kovenant (which is
definitely a compliment!) when you mix their current
stuff with their debut album: cold synth parts with
brutal drumming and a little touch of the old school...
this all wrapped into an industrialized typhoon.
Although, I think it is fair enough to say that this
band has created an own, unique style already all over
this promo! It is very satisfying to hear that there are
still people who are willing to experiment with
industrial elements in black metal, and with Nyne we
finally have a new and very promising act who seems not
afraid of conquer the world. For fans of Aborym,
Blacklodge and ...And Oceans this promo is a definite
must!
