The Ripple Effect: The Music Commentary Radio Show  

Waveriders, I have a dandy release here for you and I’m pretty damn certain that it’s flying under everyone’s radar. Nihilitia fuse aspects of noise rock, jazz, and metal into a seven song, half hour plus, frenzied listen. But don’t think that just because there’s this vast array of styles incorporated in just thirty minutes of music that Nihilist Militia is a disjointed, unlistenable piece of music. Oh no! This disc is amazingly cohesive and seamlessly flows from one song to the next, forcing the listener to simply flow with the barrage of sound blasting from the speakers. I fell in love with this one almost immediately, as I began to hear tones that I hadn’t heard in a long, long time. Throughout this album, there are sounds that remind me of the vastly underappreciated Die Kruezen, various aspects of the drone-y blues hardcore of Rollins Band, and the off time splendor of a band like Voivod. I’m telling you . . . there’s a lot going on here, but it works!
