03/31/26 | [dcraley]Nixil Unleash "I Am Not Here"
Last week, Baltimore black metallers NIXIL premiered "I Am Not Here," from their upcoming split with Portland's DROUTH titled Toward Dead Temples, scheduled for release on April 24th. The collaboration is the result of both bands working with legendary producers J. Robbins and Billy Anderson, respectively, to deliver five tracks of fury.
NIXIL comments on the split, “Our contributions to Toward Dead Temples explore the spiritual depth of death and isolation. Through the use of imagery representative of the crumbling edifice of christo-fascism, we strive to push toward the eradication of the oppressor in all its manifestations. Sonically, this album marks a point of transition for us, beginning a deep dive into darker waters on a quest for stranger, more unsettling discordance. We are thrilled to be joining forces with our friends in Drouth to present this anthem of defiance against the crushing weight of impending dictatorship - until all tyrants and their temples fall.”
DROUTH adds, “Originally recorded during The Teeth of Time sessions in late 2023, 'Cathartes Aura' and 'The Outer Church' stand on their own by representing both the past and future of Drouth. We are proud to share this release with our friends in Nixil and join them in spreading sonic misery throughout the West Coast this May.”
Additionally, the bands will team up for a run of West Coast dates shortly after the record release. Check below for the full schedule.
