Artist: Nebra
Album: Sky Disk
Year: 2009
Genre: Post-Rock
Nebra are an exciting instrumental band that combine a desert rock influence with something a bit heavier and more ominous. The groves they lay down bring to mind something between the crushing riffs of Karma To Burn and the complex, off-time rhythms of Keelhaul. This EP is a high-energy listen from front to back and proves once again vocals aren’t a necessity if done right. This is definitely for the fan of the almighty riff and Nebra unleash them from their amps with the ferocity an unhinged bulldozer. They don't bog their songs down with trippy passages or overly prog-infused song structures. They keep everything tight, brutish and to the point. Unfortunately, you only get 5 songs on Sky Disk, and since it's Nebra's only release and it's now 13 years old, it doesn’t look like we’re going to be seeing anything else from this Swiss unit. Too bad because there was a hell of a lot of potential with this band. Sky Disk is excellent and worth every effort you could make to track it down.
