Hailing from Atlanta, Georgia, Nihilect challenges the boundaries of extreme metal, toeing the line between dissonance and harmony. Long established in the area, the four-piece technical death metal act was reimagined in 2024 with a sound that is both chaotic and poignant.
On their debut “Tapestry,” band members Josh Padgett (vocals), Yousef Jeddi (guitar, vocals), Barry Johnson (bass), and Matthew Carmichael (drums) deliver relentless musicality and lyrical themes that explore corruption, war, trauma, religion, and addiction. The EP will be released independently on August 2nd, 2024.
LYRICS:
Monster in mufti
Sophist on a dais
Father of the circle
Arbiter of opinion
Forewarning over sheepfolds
Of wolves that dwell among
Churning from the serpent's maw
Firebrand appeals to fear
Fodder for the flock
Eyes to shut, heads to nod
Furors fill the hive
Echoes immemorial
Puppets to oblige
Obey
Never flee the circle
Transgress to curious
Domains of higher thought
Forbidden environs
Ensconce themselves in shibboleths
Stultified, they acquiesce
Amenable to its control
Obey
Doctrinaire and demagogue
Linchpin of deception
Chicanery and subterfuge
Sinews of the system
Sinister expedients
With compassionate pretext
Enthrall the throng
In this mesmeric prison
Never flee the circle
Never flee the circle
Transgress to curious
Forbidden environs
Obey
(Solo)
Stultified, they acquiesce
Bliss in inertia
This throttlehold
Repose in immurement
Obey
Obey
Amazing. Excellently done.
Everything about this song and video is enjoyable.
Hell yeah Josh
Good stuff 😄

Huge............
Love how this is structured. The manic techdeath flowing into that crazy solo tone and the clean part leading into the funeral doomy outro this all just flows so well.
Ta weno, potente
