Bands to Check Out: Nefarious Grime
On this episode of Bands to Check Out, we’re featuring Nefarious Grime. Nefarious Grime is a one-woman black metal project based in Miami, Florida. Nefarious Grime just released her newest EP, “Death Is Immortal,” and you can find her playing shows around Florida. Soon, Nefarious Grime will expand out of the state, and one day she will conquer the world.
“Death Is Immortal” has a little bit of everything. While it’s definitely in the vein of black metal, Nefarious Grime brings goth and operatic influences so you’re not constantly trudging through the grim.
The EP starts off strong with “Evil Dead.” The guitars in this song are catchy, but this song has the same sinister energy as the iconic movie. Even when the operatic vocals kick in, this song doesn’t lose its dark edge.
Nefarious Grime told me she’s heavily influenced by goth music in addition to black metal, and you hear this in “Vampiric Seduction.” The beginning features darkwave-esque synths and melodic riffs that are more in the goth realm. Nefarious Grime’s vocals are enunciated more clearly than this track, and you can hear the vampire’s tale of lust with perfect clarity. Things get heavier toward the end, but return to the song’s goth roots.
The EP finishes with the “Death Is Immortal” title track, and this song perfectly combines all styles and influences. The song opens with icy cold keyboards reminiscent of classic black metal, but also has enough goth melodies to keep things fresh. This song’s concept sums up the EP: how even if you die, your legacy will live on. With all of Nefarious Grime’s influences and many talents, this EP will surely remain immortal.
“Death Is Immortal” is one of the most unique EPs I’ve heard. It’s a perfect blend of black metal, opera, goth, and horror, with well-written songs and incredible musicianship. Nefarious Grime herself proves she’s one of the most multi-talented figures in modern black metal today, and I’m excited to see what else she unleashes in the future.
I was able to speak to Nefarious Grime about the beginning of the project, “Death Is Immortal,” and her future plans.
