The Slumbering Ent

These dreams of dread, I sprout, All souls so weak, they rout. These gnarled roots of mine, they bind, All souls of so feeble, a mind.

Hello again! I had not been well for quite some time , but here I am again reviewing another hardcore album, this one comes all the way from  the land  of Teutonic  thrash ,  but if you think  I am going to review some  Kreator worshipping  band   than  you  are  far from right .The band in question is NVRVD and the  genre that they  play  is  actually   one whose ancestors  helped give rise  to the birth  of Thrash in general.

NVRVD is a three piece from Bielfeled, Germany consisting of Stefan Braumschmidt (Bass, vocals) Lukas Heier (Drums, Sound) and   Christian Braumschmidt (Guitar, Vocals). Although the band’s  music  can be described  as  Modern Hardcore , the band  does its best to be more than just that with songs like  Oborhoe  in which  the band uses  haunting  wails  accompanied by very  slow , sinister  bass  which  is very reminiscent of  the sluggish forms  of powerviolence , whereas the  second track , Impartial Eyes  takes a slight melodic  turn  with  twangy , a little overdriven, slightly  black metallish  guitars and to top it all. And to add to it there  are two  interesting post metal songs here as well,  especially  An Echo to your Unbelief’s  which has a very 70’s  spy movie  feel to it . But honestly all of this is good  but where the band really excels is when  it  comes to  just going full speed  ahead  and knocking the listeners dead  with some crushing guitar chugs  accompanied by some very complex yet intricately carved dissonance which just  go all over the place like a screw ball ,accompanied by some really simple yet  powerful drumming.

So the final verdict? Although this band isn’t particularly doing anything  which hasn’t  been done before, they  have managed to come up with a pretty good ep which is good for what it is, and in general, their craft is much more direct, more impactful  than their  contemporaries.
