Following several months of steady single drops, the massive NEF100: Burn After Hearing compilation LP from Nefarious Industries is finally out today, delivering new, exclusive tracks from fourteen of the label’s eclectic flagship artists. Each song from NEF100: Burn After Hearing has been systematically released across all digital platforms over the past several months, with the latest four to drop including “Diamond Maker” by THE DRX, “Nose-Level Collision” by CINEMA CINEMA, “Odd Zoom” by HUMANS ETCETERA, and “Death Wind” by ZEVIOUS.
Nefarious Industries proudly celebrates 100 catalog releases with NEF100: Burn After Hearing, a collection of fourteen exclusive tracks that showcase the harrowing sonic landscape of the label’s eclectic roster. Originally founded as a collective of like-minded individuals seeking an outlet to release off-kilter music, Nefarious Industries has grown into a label that exhibits the most adventurous and challenging artists it can manage to locate.
NEF100: Burn After Hearing features new and exclusive songs from instrumental deviants and label co-founders EL DRUGSTORE, freshly reunited sludge thrashers ARBOGAST, D-beat technicians NEQUIENT, dissonant post-punk veterans RISK RELAY, and ambient/dark-hardcore alchemist GRIDFAILURE. The label is especially excited to resurrect long-dormant avant-garde metal ensemble THE DRX and hypnotic doom-jazz trio ZEVIOUS. The stacked track list also includes crossover thrash veterans PSYCHOSOMATIC breathing new life into a well-known classic, as well as fresh material from post-hardcore noise-mongers BEDTIMEMAGIC, esoteric riff-trippers GEMATRIA, ambient drone mastermind ZVI, garage/math rock duo FUCK YOUR BIRTHDAY, art-jazz punks CINEMA CINEMA, and experimental grunge collective HUMANS ETCETERA.
NEF100: Burn After Hearing was mastered at Menegroth, The Thousand Caves by Colin Marston (Gorguts, Krallice, Dysrhythmia) who has handled mastering duties for an array of Nefarious Industries artists. The collage-style artwork was handled by Eric Nyffeler, responsible for many of the label’s releases (East Of The Wall, A Fucking Elephant, El Drugstore, Maid Myriad, among others), and the layout was handled by label head Greg Meisenberg.
In addition to the digital release, NEF100: Burn After Hearing is also available on 12” vinyl – 150 on Black, 150 on Black Inside Transparent Red – as well as six-panel digipak CD and cassette.
