Нула

The band was formed in late 2013 by a group of likeminded guys gathered around the love for heavy riffs and mighty grooves. The members came from different musical backgrounds, including death, thrash and sludge metal and hardcore punk (members of NULA played in such notable underground acts as DEADEND, SUNOVRAT, INDOLENCE and POZDRAVI KEVU, just to name a few), but were united by their common passion for aggressive, raw, and essentially emotional sound and intense live delivery.

Mutual understanding of the members was quickly achieved after the first few jams and was followed by a series of gigs in smaller Belgrade clubs, receiving a lot of positive feedback and good vibes. This encouraged the band to continue writing new material, which resulted in the recording of the band’s first demo tape, released via a small DIY label Grim Reaper Records from Stara Pazova, Serbia in 2015. This release was immediately recognized by the serbian metal underground scene, mostly because of its sheer lyrical honesty and uncompromising, massive sound, and is still being distributed across the globe. Good reception of the tape lead to extensive touring around Serbia, providing the band with an opportunity to ‘spread the word’and meet a bunch of musicians sharing the same passion. Another tour around Serbia followed after a short break in the beginning of 2016, with the most notable performance being the show at Arsenal Fest in Kragujevac in July. During the fall of 2016, the band committed to intensive rehearsals and went into the studio to record their new EP.

‘Кенома’ marked a new period in the band’s musical and lyrical development. НУЛА submerged themselves even deeper in figuring out new ways to be heavy, while simultaneously exploring their most personal inner spaces, resulting in stranger tones and bleaker lyrics. The mastery of the guys from Blaze Studio, where the recording and mixing process took place, and the gritty imagery of Dimitrije Miljković made this new found stream of creativity in which the band tapped into get an appropriate sonic and visual identity.
