Nothing Is Real are a band from Los Angeles, California that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording plays a progressive mixture of black, sludge, stoner and doom metal and this is a review of their self released 2022 album ":The End Is Near" which will be released on Halloween.
Distorted sounding drones start off the album while spoken word samples can also be heard on a few tracks. Clean playing can also be heard at times along with a great portion of the tracks also being very long and epic in length and the slower sections of the songs also bring in elements of stoner, sludge and doom metal.
All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with the music also having its progressive moments and the solos and leads also add in more of a stoner vibe.
Psychedelic touches and synths can also be heard in certain sections of the recording along with the drones also returning on a couple of the later tracks as well as one song also showing the music also adding in more mid tempo parts. The production sounds very dark while the lyrics covers the end of the world themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Nothing Is Real and if you are a fan of progressive black, sludge, stoner and doom metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "THE (Pt. 1)" "END" and "NEAR (pt. 2)". 8 out of 10.
