I’d like to give credit and thanks to Paul Belcher on Twitter for the suggestion of today’s and tomorrow’s bands. As you can see the first one I’m doing is Nexus One’s “PURE HATE” (yes, all caps). First off, that cover art. Second off, a really solid debut EP for a small band from the UK that I’ve never heard of. Everything in the EP was very well rounded with nothing over-shadowing another. That’s how I saw it, at least. The vocals are rough and have a tone to them that just takes the cake with the subtle brutality that can be clearly heard without having to listen all that hard. The guitars and drums have an excellent rhythm and tone and are 100% synchronized and that makes them all the more better when played together. Alone they’re great, of course, as is usually the case with bands I review. Those who’ve read previous ones will see the damn pattern. But that’s not the point. The point is that Nexus One is good. Very good. If they can keep their act together and whip up some more EPs and/or full lengths album then I’ve no doubt that they have the potential to become one of the big metal bands of the UK easily.
