Earlier this year, Scottish electro-rap rockers\u00a0Neshiima<\/b>\u00a0<\/strong>returned with ‘Purple’<\/em>, the first in a trilogy of EP’s. It saw the Glasgow quartet highlight vocalist Liam Hesslewood’s personal battle with his religious upbringing. Now having taking an inward perspective last time out, the second part of the trilogy sees them an optimistic look to the future.<\/p>\n Set for release this coming Friday, ‘Orange’<\/em> sees\u00a0Neshiima\u00a0<\/b><\/strong>take aim as topics based on materialism, political unrest, personal suffering and the concept\u00a0of freedom. Throughout, songs such as ‘Feel It’,<\/em> ‘The Forfeit’<\/em> and ‘Player One’<\/em> are wrapped in a genre-blending cocktail of sounds and styles. From\u00a0Hesslewood’s rapid rhymes to Ross Cloughley’s crunching riffs to the punchy pairing of bassist Craig Rankin and drummer Danny Cameron, ‘Orange’<\/em> seamlessly transcends stylistic\u00a0borders without abandoning their metallic edge.<\/p>\n While it’s clear\u00a0Neshiima<\/b>\u00a0<\/strong>are fans of n\u00fc-metal, when it came to asking the four-piece to curate a list of their five favourite songs from the genre, they decided to head in another direction. We’ll let them explain\u2026<\/p>\n If you were to be a fly on the wall at a Neshiima<\/b> rehearsal, you\u2019d experience a lot of “off the cuff” flourishes thrown into the songs, which are reminiscent of influences that stretch beyond our melodic metal and hip-hop roots.<\/em><\/p>\n Due to our approach to musical composition and wide appreciation of music in general, when asked to produce a ‘Top 5’ list of favourite songs, we decided to send back something a little less “metal” than we hope you\u2019re expecting\u2026 So, here\u2019s our top 5 list, of Non-Metal songs (in no particular order):<\/em><\/p>\n
