OAS012 : Nekroma / This Is Not Another Love Song
While the group began as a collaboration between the bands Nakoma and the GUIGUISUISUI (see OAS001 and OAS010), Nekroma has taken on its style and identity distinct from the two bands that forged it.
Drawing on a range of influences from all over the globe Nekroma utilizes vocals, skateboard guitar, drums, bass, electronic samples, and synths to create a backdrop for twisted fairy tales and Lovecraftian fantasies.
Live they mix theatricality akin to a silent horror film with digital painting created in real time using the groundbreaking Tagtool app and projected over the band, creating a feedback loop between sight and sound. Nekroma beckons.

I mostly listen to Indian music genres but recently I have taken an interest in western classical. This is absolutely great. I loved listening to all the songs. Wishing you all the best and hope your music gets into top charts. Music has always been a part of my life.
