Hailing from Atlanta, Georgia, Nihilect challenges the boundaries of extreme metal, toeing the line between dissonance and harmony. Long established in the area, the four-piece technical death metal act was reimagined in 2024 with a sound that is both chaotic and poignant.
On their debut “Tapestry,” band members Josh Padgett (vocals), Yousef Jeddi (guitar, vocals), Barry Johnson (bass), and Matthew Carmichael (drums) deliver relentless musicality and lyrical themes that explore corruption, war, trauma, religion, and addiction. The EP will be released independently on August 2nd, 2024.

LYRICS:
The eyes, the vital vessels
The paths to the pernicious
The childishly clueless
The credulously pliant
With long-professed devotion
Bled through forbidden lids
That insulated ignorance
Inviolable sin

There is no way to save you now
So far beyond our bounds
The truth is the real hell

The sight, the sacred sight
Eclipsing light behind
A cataract of lies
Veritable deicide
From claustral composure
To disillusionment
Alluring quietus
Inexorable death

And once fanatic appetites
By blood and bread and Eucharist
Have been glutted to sickness
Immedicable sickness
Unpardonable sickness

Traitorous to our decretal
Down every turn and taper of this ivory tower
With sloughed off proselytic skin
Now you can never be pardoned
