NULLL Collective, the - "Silent Night" [SP]

Totally brilliant (10/10)

"The Nulll Collective" is a group of like-minded artists from around the world who are sick of commercialism and artistic conformity in both the world at large and in the microcosmic wasteland of underground extreme music.

Through NULLL Infra, the NULLL collective will periodically release their music as free downloads. These tracks are all previously unreleased and will also be made available on CD.

With this first release in the NULLL Infra series, we bring you a cover of a traditional Christmas song, to keep you from taking the typically hectic end-of-year mass hysteria too seriously.

This is a doom metal cover of a Christmas carol.
...
Yes. Your eyes are not deceiving you. You read correctly: "doom metal", "cover", "Christmas carol". Highly distorted low-tuned guitars, extremely slow tempo, growling and dark atmosphere. And a sweet melody of the famous "Silent Night" carol. A blasphemy? For some right-wing morons probably it is. And that's what makes it so brilliant. I love intelligent provocations and who thought before of such mix of the genres?

And as if it wasn't enough, in the middle of the song there is a purely electronic part, equally crazy, out-of-place and brilliant.

I just can't wait to play this carol during the next Christmas Eve dinner. :->

And I want a full length Christmas album, guys!

You can also download this album for free in a lossless FLAC version from archive.org (OGG version is also available there).
