Eye Of Nix Re-Releasing "Moros" With Bonus Tracks
Eye Of Nix was forged in the autumn of 2012, the result of five veteran Seattle musicians from diverse backgrounds in underground metal, experimental/classical, harsh noise and dark country coming together to create abrasive yet shape-shifting sounds.
The following year the band -- vocalist Joy Von Spain, drummer Justin Straw (Same-Sex Dictator), guitarist Nicholas Martinez, bassist Gerald Hansen, and noise artist Masaaki Masao -- recorded and self-released a four-song cassette demo and toured the West Coast with noise veterans Blue Sabbath Black Cheer.
With an eclectic, difficult-to-pinpoint sound that's at once graceful and threatening, Eye Of Nix would move on to share the stage with the equally-eclectic likes of Jarboe, Sea Of Bones, Lesbian, Worm Ouroboros, Helen Money, and Eight Bells, among other notable acts.
Earlier this year, Eye Of Nix released debut LP "Moros" via Eugene, Oregon-based imprint Belief Mower. The record was captured by the hands of engineer Brandon Fitzsimons (Bell Witch, Anhedonist, Haunted Horses) at Airport Grocery in Seattle, mastered by Justin Weis at Trakworx in San Francisco and features the shadowy cover renderings of Ogo Eion.
