Free Metals: Nolti Nan Gana Nan Nolta - Death by the Venomhammer

Nolti Nan Gana Nan Nolta hails from Edinburgh, Scotland, and plays a mixture of thrash and black metal. The band calls it black thrash and so will we. On the Death by the Venomhammer EP, the trio delivers 4 songs in just over 20 minutes, and my only complaint is that it's not longer.

The most blackened moments here serve as bookends to the EP. "Flagellate the Heretic" starts off in classic black metal form, seemlessly adding thrash along the way. The next two tracks, "Black Thrash Massacre" and "Death by the Venomhammer," move thrash to the forefront and provide plenty of headbanging opportunities. In these two songs, you might even notice a slight punk snarl in the vocal delivery. Bringing the EP to its end, "Black Realm of Terror" barrels straight through whatever is in its path with a vicious blend of black thrash.

Death by the Venomhammer is available from NNGNN's bandcamp page and can be downloaded at the "Name Your Price" option here.
