For the first #ThursDeath of 2026, we have NEKUS from Marburg, Germany and their sophomore LP from 2024, 'Death Apophenia': https://sentientruin.bandcamp.com/album/death-apophenia

Nekus have been around since 2018, and I'm not sure how I missed this great record in 2024. It's another solid gem from Sentient Ruin Records, and a great way to plod into this new year. This is crushing, heavy death doom-- cavernous and dreary, even merging on funeral doom sometimes, but with great dynamics, riffs, and textures- sometimes slow, sometimes faster. Maybe ffo Spectral Voice - but I like Nekus much more.

#NowPlaying this CRUSHING new LP 'Corrosion of Existence' by URANIUM, who are from somewhere in the USA.. the project is kinda mysterious. This is INTENSE, kinda like industrial mixed with death or doom with black elements and even some harsh noise.. NOT for the faint of heart. Some of the most brutal stuff I've heard in a while. To wake me up. 😂
