EYE OF NIX new material in the works

EYE OF NIX recently spent some time with Billy Anderson (Neurosis, Pallbearer, Taurus etc.) at The Hallowed Halls in Portland, Oregon recording the follow-up to last year’s critically-lauded Moros full-length. Titled Black Somnia, official release details will be unveiled in due time. Comments vocalist Joy Von Spain, “Our second full-length Black Somnia includes five songs exploring fear and terror in waking and dream, as well as a newly recorded extended version of ‘A Curse.'”

Among Seattle’s best kept secrets, EYE OF NIX was forged in the Autumn of 2012 and is a result of five veteran musicians from diverse backgrounds coming together to create abrasive yet shape-shifting sounds. Together the eclectic collective – vocalist Joy Von Spain, drummer Justin Straw (Same-Sex Dictator), guitarist Nicholas Martinez, bassist Gerald Hansen, and noise artist Masaaki Masao – manifest a sound that’s at once wondrous and threatening; harsh, and harrowing yet intermittently beautiful.

Initially released via Eugene, Oregon-based imprint Belief Mower (Muscle And Marrow, Hungers, Eagle Twin et al), Moros was captured by the hands of engineer Brandon Fitzsimons (Bell Witch, Anhedonist, Haunted Horses) at Airport Grocery in Seattle and mastered by Justin Weis at Trakworx in San Francisco. The record was reissued digitally with two never-before-heard bonus tracks: “Blood In The Fire,” and “Rome Burned.”

Moros is still available via the band’s official BandCamp Page here.
