2015 increasingly promises to be another prolific year, as Nuclear War Now! proudly announces the signing of INFRA, the second in a recent series of auspicious additions to its roster. As natives of Portuguese soil, the members of INFRA had previously corrupted the outermost reaches of the Iberian Peninsula with their sonic atrocities for years, albeit in other separate deployments and under different guises. Now, for the first time, its members have conspired as this singular unit to record “Initiation on the Ordeals of Lower Vibrations,” a 7” EP to be released on NWN! in early 2015. At its onset, with ominously tolling bells, this recording beckons the listener to enter its halls of impurity and worship the bleak soundscape of death metal that ensues. As uneasy as one may be to accept this invitation, the urge is not likely to be quelled and is soon rewarded in kind. With its combination of adept tempo changes and prominent low-end growl, “Initiation on the Ordeals of Lower Vibrations” masterfully weaves a tapestry that repeatedly and mercilessly tiptoes back and forth across the fine boundary between disorientation and satiation, confusion and bliss. After only just over twelve minutes of music, the listener is likely to find oneself straddling this very boundary, eagerly awaiting whatever is to come next.

This is the most personally appealing piece of music I have run into in a long time - from the beautiful lyrics and art and the crushing, non pretentious gorgeous heavy music. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, crushing - are there are other words? Gorgeous, exquisite.... sock4never

Mikolaj is a real multi-talent in bass as well as guitar as well as vocals and "Darkside" Maciej's drumming is a well-calibrated 100th-of-seconds-clockwork. Not for nothing is Mgla considered as a standard for a lot of other blacker-than-black metal bands. I hope to see this band live once..... grote_smurf

Grave Ritual play a fast and fiery kind of death metal. 'Morbid Throne' has a primal savagery that isn't restrained by this killer duo. Instead it's pushed to the limits. Choco Latte

I'm not sure if I ever heard death metal this edgy and simultaneously 'catchy' before. The remarkable riffs go straight into the ear and stay there although the brain refuses to process at first because there's do much going on. Quirky, brutal, ambitious and absolutely fresh and fantastic! mourner
