Formed in Bangalore, India, in 2009 by Siddharth Manoharan and Manu Manjunath, Nihilus is a technical death metal act combining intricate musicianship with crushing intensity. Exploring themes of post-apocalyptic decay, modern geopolitics, and humanity's destructive nature, the band established their complex sound on the 2016 EP "Without Grey Matter". Their defining milestone comes with the concept album «Borealis», a dystopian narrative depicting Earth's gradual collapse through standalone stories bound by an overarching vision of catastrophic ruin.
