Nibiru are a band from Italy that plays a ritualistic and psychedelic mixture of black, sludge, doom metal and drone and this is a review of their 2023 album "Anamorphosis" which was released by Argonauta Records.
Heavy breathing starts off the album along with some drones and ritualistic soundscapes a few seconds later. The only song that is presented on this recording is also over 55 minutes in length while the music also has its experimental and avant garde moments and harsh noises can also be heard at times.
When tribal percussion is utilized they also enhance the occult atmosphere of the music while a lot of the album also sounds improvised. Grim yet high pitched sounding black metal screams can also be heard in certain sections of the recording along with the spoken word parts also calling upon the ancient spirits when they are utilized.
Elements of doom and sludge metal can also be heard in the slower sections of the song along with the bass guitars also giving the music a lot more heaviness when they are introduced on the album, Keyboards and organs are also added into some parts of the album as well as some clear singing also being utilized briefly. The production sounds very dark while t he lyrics cover the Enochian keys, the writings of Aliester Crowley, Austin Osman Spare, Kenneth Grant and Psychiatric Essays.
In my opinion Nibiru are a very great sounding ritualistic and psychedelic mixture of black, sludge, doom metal and drone and if you are a fan of t hose musical genres, you should check out this band. 8 out of 10.
