Njiqahdda are a band from Chicago, Illinois that plays a primitive and melodic from of post black metal and this is a review of their 2012 ep "Become The Sun (It Never Was)" which was released by EEE Recordings.
Drums range from slow, mid paced to fast drumming with some blast beats being utilized at times, , while the bass playing it has a very strong and powerful sound with heavy riffing that dominates throughout the recording, as for the sound effects which are only used briefly bring a very dark and ritualistic sound to the ep.
Rhythm guitars range from slow, mid paced to fast post black metal riffs that combine raw and primitive sounding elements with a great amount of melody to create a sound of their own, while the lead guitars are very dark and melodic sounding post black metal guitar solos and leads.
Vocals are mostly clean singing with a brief use of chanting and there are no screams or growls being present on this recording, while the lyrics cover Vedic, Nature, Meditation and Transcendental themes, as for the production it has a very heavy, raw and primitive sound while you can still hear all of the musical instruments that are present on this recording with a couple of the songs being very long and epic in length.
In my opinion Njiqahdda are a very great sounding primitive and melodic, post black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Kali" and "A Perfect Mirror". RECOMMENDED BUY.
