This release is scheduled for August 2, 2024, and will showcase the band's unique blend of technical prowess and lyrical depth, making waves in the technical death metal scene.
Formed in 2024, Nihilect is composed of Josh Padgett (vocals), Yousef Jeddi (guitar, vocals), Barry Johnson (bass), and Matthew Carmichael (drums). Together, they create a sound that is both chaotic and poignant, drawing comparisons to bands like Necrophagist, Revocation, and Veil Of Maya.
