Sheffield metal favourites naisian have returned after a five-year hiatus, with new EP Rejoinder (July 06, 2018).
The EP is now streaming a day early, having premiered on Echoes & Dust.
Originally forming over a decade ago, naisian had since gone on to join other acclaimed bands, including Awooga, Air Force Chron, and pjaro.
Returning with the mission to play loud, heavy music, Rejoinder is a documentation of huge and primitive riffs. Recorded over a number of months at the band’s own studio (Tye Die Tapes HQ), the EP replicates the band’s live sound as closely as possible. DIY to the extreme, many of the amps, guitars, and effects used are hand-built by bassist Michael’s company Aitken Audio.
With mastering by iconic engineer James Plotkin (Sunn O))), Cave In, Botch), Rejoinder is a fine return to form from a band who’ve previously played with Baroness, Kylesa, Maybeshewill, Rolo Tomassi and more.
