Biography
1) Metal/Hardcore band from Geneva
2) Disco from 1979
1) Brutality, devastation and precision are Nostromo’s 3 leitmotivs. Born from pain in 1996 within the prolific Genevan scene, Nostromo quickly found their own identity with a clever mix of metal/ hardcore sprinkled with thrash and grindcore influences. From demotapes to 7 inches, the band created their own style. Everybody was blasted by Nostromo’s maturity when they released their first album Argue in Autumn 1998 on the Genevan label Snuff Records (Knut, Brazen, Fragment…). 9 ultra-furious-as regular-as-clockwork songs, killer double-drum kick and pure brutality riffs led by a strong hardcore ‘on-the-verge-of-rupture’ singing.
The band would keep growing in the following years. After playing shows with bands like Napalm Death and Turmoil, Nostromo released their sophomore effort in July 2000 on Mosh Bart Industries (now Bisect Bleep Industries). Eyesore proved their ability to self-revive their own style by putting more and more ferocity, precision, and emotion into it.
In october of 2002, Eyesore’s successor was released on Overcome Records. Recorded by Miesko (singer/ guitarist in Nasum), the album even more technical and provided a few musical openings demonstrating the evergrowing maturity of our four metal-heads’ universe. An extreme music album, finely built and thought, where grind-madness and relaxing accoustic parts are combined, where shouts become silence and let dancing breaks stun the listener’s brain.

The only Nostromo I've played is the 1979 disco version of John Barrys 'Black Hole' theme. Disco covers of Disney themes doesn't seem like these guys regular oeuvre...

One of the most underrated metal bands of all time, criminally so. Ecce Lex was ahead of it's time... Brilliant stuff

Note that the free songs here ("A Scanner Darkly" etc) are from another Polish underground band named Nostromo (http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=82002 , from their 2002 "Solar Lottery" album) and not from the well-known Swiss band who made "Argue" and "Ecce Lex".

Hysteron - Proteron is an amazing piece of work. I've been listening to it for a number of years now and it never grows old, regardless of how often I listen to it. One of my favourite albums of all time.
