CARA NEIR - "Phantasmal"(LP)

Neocrust, astonishing 8-bit hardcore that has evolved so much that no one can keep up with it

Dallas, US Texas' CARA NEIR, 2022's full-length album was astonishing 8-bit hardcore.

The album was supposed to be a neoclast/black metal approach when 3LA arrived in the mid-2010s, but it seems to have lost its way in the evolutionary process, merging with 8-bit core/chiptune and transforming into a cybergrind/cybercrust sound.

The cover artwork and art photos are now dot-pictures, but where are they headed? They are headed to a void in the scene where there is no demand for their music. In all seriousness, the music scene is also becoming a place where the shadows of the 2020's are being expressed with the full affirmation of being shadows, and it is not unrelated to the networks connected by the Internet. Viruses proliferate beyond the reach of Google searches.
