The Great Nothing

by Cicada The Burrower

supported by

Hayduke X Unrelentingly visceral and dark progressive black metal. I'm still not sure what hit me. Favorite track: I Lived In An Empty Body.

heavymetalweatherman One of the biggest surprises of 2017 was having this album recommended to me in an email. Lo-fi black metal that is bleak and beautiful, and wonderfully done. Favorite track: I Lived In An Empty Body.

about

" This is not some cheesy shoegaze black metal, like Deafheaven or whatever. This is a broken man trying his best to heal from rock bottom with some of the more tortured bedroom black metal you’ll ever hear. I’m convinced Davis wants you to experience that depression with him."
- Hellbound.ca

"Cicada the Burrower is the one-man project of Cameron Davis, though you’d never know from the sound that this album was the work of one person. The Great Nothing is an aggressively depressive progressive black metal album that plunges headlong into the eternal struggles of the self. While some depressive acts weep and wallow, this album rages against the dying of the light."
- Toiletovhell.com

"The music has plenty of minor key darkness, but it’s not a wallowing look at depressive—-it’s just as angry as it is sad. I pushed play again immediately after the album stopped, and I suspect a lot of people might find it equally compelling."
- Mindfulofmetal.com

This is a concept record about depression and significant experiences that happened to me between late 2014 through early 2016 and something that happened to me January 23rd, 2012.

PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it. That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter. Matten
