Nondor Nevai

Nondor Nevai is a Transylvanian-and-Norwegian-American composer vocalist and percussionist (born in New York state in 1970) who began listening to Heavy Metal around 1984 and playing it around 1990. He believes that Heavy Metal is not only the superior music of all the known kinds, but that the athletic expression of extreme metal, with its philosophical component, is among the most profound of arts.

Nevai is the founder of ABORTED CHRIST CHILDE, HATEWAVE and more recently, _ and BARR-NEVAI. Known for writing in a hypertechnical neoclassical style and for lightspeed improvisation of typically long-form pieces with glossolalic lyrics in vibrating unison or bowel-shudderingly-throatsung. Metrically complex, they exhibit a capricious formal continuity that he claims is "telepathic". His musicological agenda is to "advance yet consolidate" biomechanical extreme metal by innovating it's athletic and virtuosic aspects while simultaneously galvanizing it's contrapuntal and harmonic ones. Nevai Is considered a seminal ''brutalprog'' and ''avant-garde metal'' progenitor with a small but sturdy following. The first album, self-released in 1998, was an "anti-rap" LP done on a cassette deck in one take. The first movement consisted of him improvising songsprecht over the first side of a STRYPER record. He is known for confrontational live shows often involving audience assault and when he lived with and played in DETH BRED and HOLY SHIT in southern California in the early 2000's, a sleepless pornographically barbaric lifestyle.
Nevai currently has two vehicles for his metallic composition: _ ("UNDRSKOR"), his blackened neoclassical amplified-strings-and-percussion unit with 2 albums out on French label Savage Land, and the progressive neoclassical speed metal duo that exhibits a regressive tendency towards noise-grind with astonishing guitar virtuoso MICK BARR. They have 2 albums out on ug/Explode; "The Rainbow Supremacy" and their third and fastest, "Labyrintha" which may be known for pushing the form in terms of what is possible or bearable. Additionally he performs in his powerviolence-industrial percussion duo, VVARVOLK ("Warf''k"), which features two drummers hyperblasting over deafening warfare samples and with hardcore noise-jazz lion KENNY MILLIONS and musical polymath WEASEL WALTER in the punk jazz militia combat cell known as NO MOR MUSIK.
Nevai performs live about 6 times a year.
Associated drugs would be 5-MeO-DMT, Ketamine, methamphetamine, LSD and red wine.
He's been in periodicals like "A Dangerous Game", "Arthur" and "Vice".
