Amnis Nihili / Christological Escalation (mcd-digipack)

Hailing from Greece, AMNIS NIHILI created one of the sickest EPs this year, Christological Escalation, out now via Avant-Garde Music. There is no way to deny that AMNIS NIHILI is rad as fuck, and they have the power to put you under their blackened spell. What impresses me about this band is the way that they are able to write songs that eat away at your human form, but they also have an emotional quality to them. The title track, “Christological Escalation,” will reign death upon you, while the vocals will rip out your finger nails and have you licking up your own blood! AMNIS NIHILI are black metal without tying too hard, with bursts of punk angst.
