NǽnøĉÿbbŒrğ VbëřřĦōlökäävsŦ (pronounced "Nanocyborg Uberholocaust") is an ambient cosmic extreme funeral drone doom metal band formed by two extremely grim, true kvlt dronesters from the Canadian and British undergrounds of ultimate extreme metal: Wavanova and Dark Dude.
Both of these two musicians happen to also be scientists. In 2006, they met each other at an Antarctic Research Station while studying carnivorous Antarctic predators. The two soon realized that they had very similar musical tastes and were both experienced bass players. As the two became closer friends, they soon found that they also shared similar interests in drone, ambient, and experimental music, as well as discovered that they were both in possession of a bass and bass amp.
A plan was soon hatched between the two to steal one of the portable generators as well as some extra fuel and extra food from the research station, load it all onto a dog sled, and venture to the exact South Pole, in the cold and bleak heart of the Antarctic continent. It was at this precise location that NǽnøĉÿbbŒrğ VbëřřĦōlökäävsŦ would record their first album, The Ultimate Fate of the Universe, using their basses, amps, and a laptop.
"I couldn't have seen us recording Ultimate Fate anywhere other than the exact South Pole", said Wavanova during a later interview. "The tone produced by the basses was greatly influenced by the incredibly cold temperatures. It made the tone much heavier and, well, just more powerfully kvlt overall".
Dark Dude commented further: "Oh, and the wind, the wind also played a huge role in the recording process, I mean, when you have a 50 km/h wind with a wind chill factor of -40 celsius, it's bound to have a substantial effect on the recording. See, all our tracks have this windy staticy sound in them. This is not bad quality on our part, but rather, it is the sound of the bleak and icy winds of the lungs of Antarctica breathing its grim air into our microphone. The wind mixed perfectly with the freezing and crystallized bass tone to create what we think, is the grimmest and most bleak tone to ever be produced by a band."
The band has been described by their fans as extremely ambient and droney, capturing the sounds of the universe between its phases of life, beginning with the Big Bang, and ending with the Heat Death Of The Universe.
