Nihil Admirari presents: All Hallows' Scream 7 - Genesis; Beginnings & Ends

Details

All Hallows' Scream (AHS) is Nihil Admirari's annual Halloween event where the quartet takes to a venue somewhere around NYC and transforms it into a themed party. There are decorations, sometimes games, food, drinks and live band performances including the main act - Nihil Admirari - and sometimes invited rock bands of various sub-genre. Aside from band merch at the show, all performances, refreshments and games are included in the ticket price give or take one optional offer for donations.

AHS was conceptualized in 2018 and has since had three in-person iterations and two virtual gigs during the pandemic. The event has never had an official sponsor, and all ticket sales go to the creation of the show.

AHS7 is the seventh iteration of the event themed "Genesis"; emphasizing horrors like the vastness of the universe, fears and paranoia of being alone, fear of the unknown and fear of darkness. Nihil Admirari will open the festival in costume performing this year's Halloween song "Homosapien" followed by the other 6 Halloween songs from the previous years and music from their regular repertoire.
The party is planned to feature:
- A photo area.
- An area to show a short horror film.
- A video game area.
- A board game area (Game of Clue)
- A Charcuterie table
- Various interactive trinkets, gadgets and props.

This year, the band's costumes will reference "life and death", "fire and industry", "the universe and the soul" and "infinity". I mean, did you want me to spoil the surprise and just tell you what they are? lol NAH But I will say that "Genesis" for this show is anything but biblical. It's the encyclopedic definition of beginnings. We honestly couldn't think of a better word.

However you interpret the theme for your costume is up to you. I'm just saying you'll be the odd man out as an angel or something. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯¯

Join in the fun as Da Vinchi's Vitruvian Man, Gaia from Captain Planet, The Big Bang (don't ask me how), an ameoba or a Lovecraftian Cosmic Horror; you know - something light. But whatever you do, the party is on all night!

Food, drinks and a mixed cocktail will be served at this event, but no smoking allowed. Liquor will also be offered for a suggested donation.

Guests are coming in costume: Imagine what is scary unsettling about the beginning/ending of time; where it could have started, where it could end and how.

Music starts at 7:30PM

Finally a 4-member band after years of being first a duet then a trio, we create rock music influenced by many genre and sub-genre built on a foundation of punk, hard rock and theatrical rock music.

Our sound, themes, look and creative philosophy follow our namesake, "Nihil Admirari"; a Latin phrase describing a way of life that discourages expectation and encourages having an open mind. We represent diversity, empathy, thought and exploration in every life; the walk on the thin path between complexity and simplicity of everything.

We grew from a duet in 2016 to a trio in 2017 and finally found our final member - our bassist - in 2023. But through the many challenges and setbacks over the years, we were able to produce 2 EPs, 3 Singles, 3 Lyric Videos, a yearly acoustic show and a yearly Halloween Festival while performing around NYC.
