Dagdrom

2012 release from the Drone Metal duo. Dagdrom is Nadja's first proper full-length since their 2010 release Autopergamene and, replacing their habitual drum machine, features live drums courtesy of Mac McNeilly from the Jesus Lizard. While Nadja retains their signature overblown sound and heavily distorted guitars, these songs are more concise and structured, tempering their experimentalism and ambience with a more straightforward Rock sound and compositional style. As such, Dagdrom looks both forward and back: A departure from Nadja's usual sound and style, it also harkens back to the noise rock scene of the '80s and early '90s and bands like Big Black, Caspar Brötzmann Massaker and, of course, the Jesus Lizard, all of whom were influential on Nadja's sonic development.
