Nihilist is a Death metal act. Their sound grew out of Morbid. Those roots explain a lot about how Nihilist arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Dismember, Malevolent Creation, Hellhammer, Entombed A.D. and Unleashed, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Darkthrone, Runemagick, Unleashed and Entombed, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
