Early-mid 90's BM (early In The Woods..., Ulver, Fleurety, Darkthrone, Emperor, Immortal, Enslaved, etc), Drudkh, Negura Bunget, Amesoeurs, Mortifera, some USBM (Weakling, Xasthur, Velvet Cacoon), Primordial, Godspeed You! Black Emperor and plenty more post-rock, ManOwaR, Electronica, Classical music, various intoxicants, the monotonous and ever-increasing bleakness,stupidity and apathy of the current age, altered states of reality, anti-life, psychic torment, para-physics, the manipulation of mythological archetypes, existence in 1D space, other shit.
Sounds Like
Reality collapsing. Someone screaming at you from an attack helicopter speeding over the remotest part of Greenland. Four blokes playing guitars, bass and drums fast, with screaming. A tornado blasting through and destroying your house. Being on really strong, bad, horrible drugs while people try to kill you. Proper Metal.
Niroth were formed at the end of 2001 in Letchworth, Hertfordshire, UK, for one purpose: Making real Black Metal, and to try and gain a bit more respect for UKBM, the image of which has been somewhat of a joke due to the weakness of the obvious culprits.
Niroth has played shows with bands of all genres, from Electronic acts to bands such as Primordial, Enthroned and Demoncy, showing a respect for many styles but translating influences from a vast spectrum of sources into a powerful, unique style of Black Metal.
Among the comments made to the band after gigs are "Motherfucker, my fucking ears", "I cant hear properly any more", "Sorry I had to leave, it was too loud" and "Where's all the beer gone?". After all, All Men Play On Ten. The band do not feel the need to adopt a typical BM 'uniform' all the time - (if you cant hear that its Black Metal, you're deaf or an idiot). Though they make no apologies for having a sense of humour as people, they are deadly serious about the music they make and strive to bring something exciting to BM and extreme metal in general.
Although gigging and recording is sometimes sporadic due to various constraints - do not be put off approaching with gig offers! Niroth will attempt to play wherever/whenever possible. Almost all activity is handled by the band.. If you would like to contact the band, send a message here or use the link on the main website.
Geimhre's own Morok debuting with his first full-length release of Epic Pagan Black Metal. For those who missed out the classic "Tormentor" demo, this release combines elements ranging from the ferocious Black Metal of his earlier works but with a more grand and epic scope and sound. Mastered by the always brutal James Block (Abscess, Geimhre, Sigh), you can expect a militant Pagan assault of the highest order!!
My new album Dragons Blood is now available from Kapustin Yar Records!!! This combination of Metal, Ambient, and Folk music will make you impervious to sword or spear! Underground for life, posers face DEATH!!!!!!
How and the hell have you been? I hope that you are not dead? Anyhow, just thought to stop by and see what was going on? Anyhow, hope that all is well with you again and Horns raised high! Oh, and I am not dead damn it! Cheers! :)
