about
“‘Deaths Of Our Own Design’ is a treatise on the necessity of continuous self-sacrifice of the mundane ego. If one is to advance upon the spiritual path of the undoing of All, one must be ever ready to seek out and slay the perceived ‘I,’ which is being tenaciously reborn day by day, moment by moment. The video is a moving sigil and descriptive of this gnosis, seeking to inspire those with the eyes to see to draw the knife across the throat of self until there is indeed nothing left to kill …”
lyrics
Ek kalla eitrdrekki - make my form your vessel to open up the ways! Throw our bodies into the chasm, make our every breath our sacrifice. We must bring ourselves low - we must! We are these great buildings, great towers, rooted monoliths built over recurrent time. We must bring ourselves low, give everything in sacrifice to that which burns within us, pure and unyielding. Reduce these buildings, buildings to bricks, bricks to fragment, fragment to rubble, rubble to dust, dust to atom, nothing to naught. We must reside in constant death, our own hand must draw the knife! For herein lies our liberation, in these deaths of our own design. Reduce these buildings, buildings to bricks, bricks to fragment, fragment to rubble, rubble to dust, dust to atom, nothing to naught. We must reside in constant death, our own hand must draw the knife! For herein lies our liberation, in these deaths of our own design. So from the rooftops hang your heads knowing that you were never free. Until the day you embrace death, you are unworthy! The blood must be let and the blood must flow until we move, move without shackles, without restraint. On our breath the sacred nothing flies, embodied and itself dying out to the fullness of nothingness. Bricks to fragment, fragment to rubble, rubble to dust, dust to atom, atom to naught, cells into vapor, vapor to nothing - deaths of our own design.
Nixil is a manifestation of chaos, rage, strength, and despair.
Our aim is to strip away the illusions and limitations of
existence through an honest and sincere appeal to the art, magick and potential of black metal. Always anticosmic, always antifascist.

What an impressive piece of black metal. This one-man hurricane is pure art. Sgah‘gahsowáh creates an haunting atmosphere. He puts so much soul in his music. Sælzer Bub

An outstanding Extreme doom death album, in the best tradition. The funerary atmosphere reminds of Evoken ('Centuries of ooze" bears striking similarities, for my delight). It is overall sharp, dark, hypnotic and unrelenting. One of those rare convincing new bands that hold proud the legacy of the biggest names. Bertrand Marchal

Late 90's BM worship, but it's also a lil more than that. This album takes the best elements from the scene it's inspired by and mostly avoids the worst of it; the song-writing is well-written, it's performed with passion and fun, and the production is raw but isn't lo-fi. (i.e. it doesn't obfuscate and/or suckass).
Tl;dr It's safe but high quality BM. Recommended. Rabbit

Blackbraid quickly followed up their 2022 debut in 2023 with more native folk infused furious black metal. This is by no means a sophomore slump as it is equally excellent, methodical, melodical, and approachable as the first record. 9/10 RJ
