Lenax is a solo black metal band based in the Nashville area. With collaborators ranging as far away as Spain, Greece, and Ukraine, they have been able to accelerate my project while also bringing in new creativity. I am currently crafting a full length album called ‘Infection’ due out in December of this year. The album has a conceptual theme of man’s primal urge for personal freedom told through metaphors ranging from war to cosmic horror.
