In our time, depression and suicide litter the land like the broken bottles under our feet. Anxiety and detachment leave us feeling like ghosts. We turn to methods to cope, in bad habits and goodbyes. Amid this cold scenery, alternative hip hop group Ceiling Demons return to confront the emptiness with their latest LP, Nil.

A narrative album riddled with dualities, Nil explores the light and dark in themes of nature and an all-or-nothing view of existence. Conflicting emotions are delivered through introspective wordplay that gets cast like occultist spells over soundscapes that move from the hauntingly raw to the beautifully sparse. Marching through the ups and downs, the dreams and nightmares, it is a record that searches the void to find it masked by opposites, where all can be found in nothing.

Scattered by the squall… Let the dust settle... Born with nothing… Die with nothing… Return to All…

'With Nil descends a darkness, themes of male suicide, of loneliness, and lost hope prevail but with a sense of positivity that everything will and can be overcome.' 9/10 - Louder Than War

'Living and dying by their definition of the dark arts, this will greatly benefit your gramophone.' - Monolith Cocktail

'Devastatingly beautiful.' - Spotlight Music UK

'A totally unique sound, which is borderline masterpiece.' - For The Love of Bands

'An undeniably bracing listen.' - The Crack
