Nahja Mora – Final Realization Of Failure (CD Album – Nahja Mora)
Genre/Influences: Industrial, experimental.
Background/Info: Hailing from Baltimore (USA) Nahja Mora is the sonic brainchild of Josef Saint. Nahja Mora already self-released a few more productions.
Content: It’s not that easy to seize and define the sound of this project. It clearly feels like American-industrial music; a kind of crossover between different influences. That’s maybe why some passages are pretty cacophonous. Bombastic arrangements mixed with kicks and sound crashes and a few, fragmented vocal parts are the main essence of this work.
+ + + : The least I can say is that Nahja Mora has created a very own sound approach, which you can’t really compare to another artist. This is pure crossover and an experiment to create chemistry between numerous influences. I like the heavy bombast running through “Atramentous”. I also want to say a word about the cool digipak and artwork.
– – – : I like original productions, but this work is hard to label and that’s probably because of the lack of coherence; too much influences and cacophony are sometimes ruining the result!
Conclusion: Nahja Mora sounds a bit like the music from an alien; it can be labeled as ‘industrial’ and yet it’s something totally different.
Best songs: “Atramentous”, “Rabbit”.
Rate: (6).

Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
