AD NIHIL
The foundation of the band is laid back in 2015. Following the continuous search for musicians, in 2017 the band takes its name AD NIHIL, and the completed line-up begins its procession to the abyss of insanity. Originally, AD NIHIL is conceived as a slow-tempo, droning metal music, conventionally referred to as sludge/doom metal. In the early days the band adds hardcore elements to its sound. In the course of time the musicians go deeper into their experiments with different musical genres, using quite an unusual set of musical instruments: 2 bass guitars, electric guitar, drums and didgeridoo – the fields for experiments are quite impressive. The band quickly learns new songs and releases its first demo titled "Rex Regnum Nihilum" on January 1, 2018. The same year AD NIHIL records "Son Razuma Rozshdaet Chudovish" (The Sleep of Reason Produces Monster) — its debut full-length album, and the songs for a split CD with Wildweed, both released in 2019. The musicians become very productive and soon release "Sozsheniya Zivilizaziy Mig" (The Moment of Incineration of Civilizations) EP in 2020. This EP features a song titled "Pastyr Otgonyaet Volkov" (The Shepherd Beats off the Wolves), which presents the new concept of the band — the decline of civilization and the age of crowd — that will be developed on the next opuses of AD NIHIL. In 2022 the band releases a split CD with Prophesy of Sheva and Heavenscapes (both from St. Petersburg) and the second full-length album titled "Net Vechnih Istin" (There is No Eternal Truth). The album presents tough, gloomy, experimental, concept-based material combining ultraslow bulldozer tracks and apocalyptic blast beat explosions in the best black/death metal traditions. Working on the next album AD NIHIL develops its concept even further. March 1, 2024 the musicians release "...Oni Idut S Voshodom Luni" (They Come with the Moonrise) — a compilation of remastered songs that have not ended up on any full-length album yet. It becomes some kind of precursor for the third full-length album that will open new horizons of musical and philosophic processes of the Order of AD NIHIL.
