Nidare
Von Wegen
As of 2019, several members all coming from different Berlin based post metal, screamo and hardcore outlets (such as Ancst, Henry Fonda, Ast, Chambers, Afterlife Kids, ryr, Youth Cult) decided to form a band to combine all these different experiences and emotions to channel them within the post black metal project called "Nidare" (derived from the old German word "nidar" which means "below"). The sound of the band is constituted by catchy melodic, yet challenging riffs that cover atmospheric black metal, screamo as well as post metal styles, all played upon blast beat driven drums that are still not afraid to go doomy. Every song tells a story of a close person and their path, which is why the album is called "von Wegen" (German: about (path)ways)). These paths cross fears, mental blockades, actions and are interwoven with different kinds of interpersonal relationships, sometimes constituted by balances of power.
