Nero Order, ‘The Tower’ — New Album

Ever wonder what more Pink Floyd would sound like in Neurosis, or the reverse of more of the avante-metallers in Pink Floyd? San Francisco's Nero Order is the answer to the query, with their morose melodies and a pension for cathartic disaster.

Though the foursome was founded in 2006, it was decided to forgo the boring route of rushing to get an album and accessories out to sit at a merch table. Nero Order have instead spent time fusing their sound into their debut album, 'The Tower,' which is out now.

'The Tower,' which boasts pounding guest vocals from Oxbow's Eugene S. Robinson on the track 'Every Pillar and Its Crumbling,' is available at most digital retailers. But to keep the DIY fire burning, the gentleman of Nero Order are using their website to sell the CDs and vinyl, as well as audiophile-quality FLAC files that will be available under a pay-what-you-want set up.
