Indian Sci-Fi themed Technical Death Metal trio NIHILUS will release their forthcoming album ‘Borealis’ in this coming Summer. Today the band teams up with Metal Shock Finland to premiere worldwide their third official single and lyric video ‘Without Grey Matter’ from the album. Watch it here:

One of the most well known bands from the old school Bangalore Metal scene. The forthcoming full length ‘Borealis’ is now set to see the light in the coming months. The band has a solid, growing fan base due to their different approach towards the brand of Death Metal that is laden with science-fiction themes and technicality with strong progressive elements with tons of variations.

To celebrate the video premiering Metal Shock Finland‘s Tarja Virmakari had a pleasure to interview the guys, so let’s learn more about the band, new single and upcoming album:

1. Hello NIHILUS and welcome to Metal Shock Finland. How are you doing?

Hi there! Thank you for having us. We’re doing great. Preparations for the album and tour are going along!

2. Your new album ‘Borealis’ will come out this coming Summer. What can you tell me about the influences while writing the album?

We have had influences across genres. Decapitated, Archspire, Behemoth, necrophagist, Origin, Cynic, to name a few.

3. Today we have a pleasure to premiere worldwide your third single & lyric video ‘Without Grey Matter’ from the album. What is the story behind the song?

The song is about complacent aimless apathetic living. Which doubts as existing not as living though. The zombie population. The hypnotized masses.

4. Once the album is out, how will you support it?

We are planning to have an on-line store where one can purchase the digital album and juicy merchandise worldwide. Post the tour we want to explore possibility of shows in Indonesia and the South east of Asia.

5. How do you see the Indian metal scenes nowadays?

Thanks to some promoters taking interest, bands can do well. They’ll have to put in a lot of hard work too. Make sure they’re putting out quality stuff, which they are as well.

6. What are your highlights, so far?

Having been around for about 10 years, we’ve played a bunch of gigs, mostly in South India. We released an EP a few years ago. The biggest highlight is what is coming in the next couple of months, with Borealis and the tour.

7. What is your message to your fans and Metal Shock Finland readers?

Thank you peeps! Your support keeps us going! Cheers \m/
