Nebelnest: Nova Express (CD, 46:49); Cunieform Records, Rune 154, 2002 E-mail: nebelnest@nebelnest.com Cyberhome: www.nebelnest.com 10 words or less: relentlessly heavy instrumental progressive Rock of the highest caliber Elaboration: Do you like the heavy parts of Wetton era Crimson? Do you like the 70s French band Shylock? If you answered yes to either question then GET BOTH NEBELNEST ALBUMS NOW!!! Nebelnest play ‘rip your face off body slam you to the ground step on your chest with steel toed boots till you cant breathe’ prog. This stuff is blissfully vicious! Don’t get me wrong... there are times when \Nebelnest let up for a passage of a minute or so and throw in some more subtle textures but mostly they are content to just kick your a$$ all over the stereo room. If you are only a fan of melodic, sweet prog with all the right moves then dont bother because Nebelnest push the envelope of intensity but most importantly they do this without falling into any Metal cliches. There are plenty of odd time signatures and crescendos and Mellotron to satisfy anyone able to withstand the intense barrage that almost every piece starts with. There aren’t a whole lot of melodies to be found on either album but the rhythmic assault alone makes me proclaim Nebelnest to be one of the freshest sounding bands to play progressive Rock in quite some years. ~ L Perez
