La Nausée is a new sludge metal project from Ghent, Belgium, with a heavy/dirty guitar sound, distorted vocals and drums that relentlessly drive the songs forward.
In January 2021, La Nausée released their first single (and lyric video) 'SPLIT'. On April 29, the second single 'LIKE COIN ' will be released digitally, followed by the full EP 'BATTERING RAM ' on May 7 and will be available digitally, CD and Limited Edition Cassette via Spectral Hound Records on Bandcamp.
"Our music is about where we can locate ourselves in this world, in this life. The power of nature is incomparable. The mind is too small to grasp the whole picture. Essence precedes existence, but not for us. We must determine our own state of being and make ourselves whole. Another source of inspiration is the dichotomy between the human individual and forces such as corporate marketing, governments or media that seek to influence and distort it.' For this EP we teamed up with Stef Exelmans to do the mixing and mastering, and we really like the result. He's done a great job in the past recording the last TURPENTINE VALLEY and BEAR albums and we knew right away he was the man we wanted to work with."
The EP was recorded as a solo lockdown project, but La Nausée will soon become a full live band. Here are the first reactions in the media to the release of 'SPLIT': La Nausée have released an unbelievably heavy new sludge monster of a song called “Split”. It kind of reminds me of Black Tusk channelling White Zombie, just completely devilish and infectious but clobbering riff patterns with an extra aggro vocal intensity as the cherry on top. It kind of feels like…well, like having a giant antler shoved through your face! @Morgan Y Evans – METAL RIOT - A rip-roaring debut single of powerful sludge metal with foreboding lyrics. Excellent. – (La Nausée was featured in the More Fuzz Podcast episode 106) @Mr.weirdbeard - MORE FUZZ - A hard hitting, heavy track that's relentless for 3 minutes straight. Go check it out and support where you can! - @DOOMBOX_METAL A quick and lethal sludge ripper that grinds its way through your brain and rumbles in there for a solid 3 minutes. @BELGIAN METAL SHREDDER A crushing track with a whirlwind of percussive battery tempo changes, it also has the prominent crush of a Metallic Hardcore guitar tone and broken chrod progressions that fall in the gap between Knocked Loose and Left Behind. @DJ Vapour - METAL NOISE ‘SPLIT’ is featured on the radio: BARST DIY radio show on radio WIT KONIJN (BE) Déclic Metal radio show on DECLIC RADIO (FR) L’ Antre radio show on on radio TRANSPARENCE (FR) Harder & Heavier radio show on radio VIVA (NL) Rock of Ages radio show on radio ALADNA (NL) Herrie! radio show on radio LELYSTAD (NL) Black Monday Radio show on radio DELTA FM (NL) B-Kant radio show on radio RTV RIDDERKERK (NL) Not Only Negative radio show on radio AIR LIBRE (BE) Mariner FM Greece Episode 83 of the Deathrattle podcast Episode 146 of the Ignite Metal radio show The song SPLIT is featured on the 22nd edition of the ‘Face Your Underground’ metal compilation CD and also on the third edition of the ‘Sounds Of Hell’ compilation CD.
