5 years after their debut full length and 2 years after the 'Monolith of Corrosion' EP, Nightmarer are finally back with a new album.

Inarguably the band's most diverse work to date, 'Deformity Adrift' ventures far beyond the conventions of the already unconventional genre of dissonant Death Metal, without surrendering an ounce of viciousness.

A 32 minute sonic behemoth, the record is at once confounding and ravaging. Strong nuances of Industrial and Doom Metal can be heard throughout as the record’s nine tracks conclude fittingly with a suffocating wall of sound that leaves its listeners bruised, battered, and shaken.

For fans of: Convulsing, Plebeian Grandstand, Owl
