Nothing Is Real are a band from Los Angeles, California that plays a psychedelic and progressive mixture of black, sludge, stoner and doom metal and this is a review of their 2021 double album "Transmissions Of The Unearthly" which will be released on Halloween by Cave Dweller Productions.
Clean playing starts off the album while elements of stone r rock can also be heard at times along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them. Vocals are mostly blackened metal screams as well as the slower sections of the songs also adding in the heaviness of sludge and doom metal.
Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the solos and leads are done in a very retro orientated style. Some of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with the music also having its progressive moments as well as some songs also adding in some psychedelic touches.
Growls are also added on some of the tracks along with a couple of songs also introducing spoken word parts onto the album as well as a later song also adding in a brief use of clean vocals, as the album progresses a couple of instrumentals can also be heard and all of the music sticks to either a slow or mid tempo direction. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover dark themes.
In my opinion Nothing Is Real are a very great sounding progressive and psychedelic mixture of black, sludge, stoner and doom metal and if you are a fan of t hose musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Tyrant of The Unreal" "Sickened Samsara" "King Of The Wastelands" and "A Passion Greater Than Life And Death". 8 out fo 10.
