Obliteration is imminent: As The World Dies return with their triumphant second offering. Nebula is a colossal lesson in crushing death metal and cosmic mysticism. Nebula is the quintessence of what As The World Dies is all about, band leader and scene veteran Scott Fairfax says. We pushed our musical boundaries and wanted to create an album that was both brutal and thought-provoking. Its heavier, darker and more profound than anything weve done before. While we go about our petty business, leading our small and insignificant live under the sun, death is hurtling towards us at breakneck speed: An asteroid names Apophis will come in very close contact with planet Earth in 2029. Aptly named after the Egyptian god of dissolution, darkness and chaos, it has the power to obliterate life as we know it. Seriously: it doesnt get any more death metal than this. Scott Fairfax is well aware of that. The death metal veteran of Memoriam fame is back with his other vehicle of death and destruction, As The World Dies. Three years after their earthshattering and star-studded debut Agonist, hes taking things into space with Nebula, a cosmic death metal requiem of colossal proportions. Brought to life and recorded mostly by Scott Fairfax alone in his home studio, this isnt so much of a band effort and rather the work of a dedicated individual pissed off by pretty much everything going on around him. Angry, haunting and miserable songs are, though. Nebula is full of them. An album like an uncompromising alien threat to our planet, as unrelenting and indifferent as an asteroid. The end is coming, folks. Lets all enjoy it while we can.
