"With 15 feet of pedals,including eight Moog pedals, these five men sounded like they were playing about 50 instruments. Outside it only seemed like the world was ending. Inside, thanks to this dark, heavy, droning, harsh music, it was certain.
Two frostbitten thumbs up!" - Performer Magazine
Nigredo tends toward a balance of punishing, mid-tempo crunch and disquieting ambience. Their ghostly guitar phrases build to plaintive howls, and they command vivid imagery without resorting to vocals. - IndyWeek.com

Bio
What is the underlying source of purpose in Nigredo? What makes their sound so powerful as if it reaches the bottom of your heart, awakening it to motivation, life, and expression? It's an intense instrumental musical project willingly based around those very shared philosophies, and emotive desires to express despite all our best efforts to live in apathy. Submission is the key for us all as this collection of experimental players do all they can to collaborate a shared movement that can not be reached individually. It is the key for this musical project to express, and to be shared. It is exactly in those moments where we all unify in our greatest potentials. Nigredo is the music of our whole lives from our darkest moments to our most joyful expressions and, dynamically, all in between.
