Nero:The Dune Concept Album
Info
As the title suggests, this album was inspired by David Lynch's infamous sci-fi box-office disasterpiece, Dune. It was recorded at WGNS in Washington, DC by Charles Bennington in 1997. It is the only studio album by Louisville post-punk/math-rock misfits, Nero. The album was recorded in 1997 but released much later in 1999.
"It's absolutely maniacal – which is the best way to describe Nero. With guitars, bass, drums and vocals all armed with razors and needles, and a really scary stab at an oddball "concept album," Nero has designed an inspired piece of unforgettable mayhem." – Pillowfight.com, 1999
