Cara Neir

Cara Neir is a Dallas-based experimental metal duo formed in 2008 by multi-instrumentalist Garry Brents and vocalist Chris Francis. Blurring lines between black metal, grindcore, and post-hardcore, they’ve carved out a niche with raw, genre-defying releases like *Phase Out* and *Pain Gel of Purification*. Known for their DIY ethic and prolific output, they’ve dropped everything from cassette remasters like *III/IV (Tape Remaster)* to splits and full-lengths that explore themes of existential dread and societal decay through Chris’s guttural screams and Garry’s chaotic yet calculated instrumentation.

While keeping things lo-fi and underground, Cara Neir has built a cult following through labels like Broken Limbs Recordings and Tridroid Records. Their recent work, including *Where We Shouldn’t Be* and the punishing *Akumu*, continues to push boundaries without losing that basement-show intensity. Whether they’re unleashing 30-second grind blasts or sprawling atmospheric tracks, this Texas twosome remains a restless force in extreme music’s weirdest corners.
