Nostromo

Flashback to 1998: the Geneva metal scene is growing and together with their mates Knut, Nostromo puts the famous Swiss neutrality to bed for good. First album «Argue» reveals them as one of the biggest promises of european extreme music, and earns them a contract with Overcome Records. Within 4 years, with the «Eyesore» EP and then the «Ecce Lex» album they perform their surgical grindcore on the greatest stages, and tour endlessly with the likes of Napalm Death, Nasum or The Dilliger Escape Plan. In 2005 they break up leaving behind the feeling that something is incomplete. After more than 10 years apart, in 2016, Nostromo publish an accidental reunion photograph on social networks and although the band didn’t intend to get back together, immediate gig proposals pour out. The legendary Hellfest opens a great space on their 2017 line-up, while Gojira offer their support act on their french tour. Carried away by this unexpected enthusiasm, Nostromo officially reunite, deciding on not just performing live but also bringing in new recordings. In 2019 «Narrenschiff» has arrived: a promising record that displays the band’s renewed power and strength. Beastly, suffocating, imperial – «Narrenschiff» is the hardest and most extreme record they’ve put out to this day. Nostromo has something to catch up on, something to prove, because they have been away for more than a decade. This new arrival has injected an extra touch of urgency making «Narrenschiff» infinitely darker.
