Rebel Wizard’s negative metal is an anarchic alchemical process of outsider energies respecting the power of traditional triumphant metal into a unique sound to smash out the coerced gloom and banality of our times. It is a creation from Australian musician, NKSV, also from the long running black metal/noise band Nekrasov. NKSV started the band in 2012, released first demo in 2013 and then self-released a steady flow of music including EPs, a mini album and two LPs which have received a ton of praise from the press all over the world. After the release of his first full length LP, Triumph of Gloom, Rebel Wizard was signed to Prosthetic Records.
Rebel Wizard can’t be summed up with one genre. The attitude and mysticism is important; influenced by the attitudes of standalone artists. Many bands try to combine different genres of metal, some fail, some succeed, but what makes Rebel Wizard strive is it’s done from instinct. 30 years of consuming metal, music and other wordly ideas has given NKSV a vast arsenal to choose from. However it’s not just the music he’s going after, but rather the feeling and spirit; not instagraming retro metal imagery. Remember the first time you heard Maiden, Priest, Rainbow, Emperor, Dark Throne etc? NKSV takes those sentiments and then grabs the guitar and summons them into heavy negative wizard metal. The result is fresh and full of emotion, words NKSV would not like associated with his music, but can’t be avoided when approaching this realm.
