NERVOCHAOS - Dug Up - Reviewed By Soundmagnet ! Check it out here at this link: https://www.soundmagnet.eu/nervochaos-dug-up-diabolical-reincarnations-album-review/
On the occasion of the 25th birthday of the Brazilian death metal band Nervochaos, the band is releasing a kind of Best Of to celebrate the day. Dug Up (Diabolical Reincarnations) is the name of the good piece and includes 13 tracks from the early years of the band, which were not only re-recorded, but also rewritten.
The first is I Hate Your God, a song that is mostly in the mid-tempo segment and comes across as quite linear, catchy and powerful with driving drums.
An opener like it doesn't get any better
Envy, on the other hand, does not take any prisoners from the beginning, gets on the gas enormously and drives out of the plant with full brute force. Apparently, the band is warmed up at this point and delivers a similar bolt at Putrid Pleasures, which is additionally garnished with nasty sounding guitar melodies. Pazuzu Is Here is dedicated to mesopotamian wind demons in a more than worthy way and can be considered the highest quality headbang and mosh material. The proof of this can be found HERE .
Mighty Justice comes across as a bit more thrashy at first, but quickly fits into the round of thunder weather that has distinguished the previous album before Upside Down Cross rings as a crisp old school death metal number with blast beats en masse at halftime.
The Urge to Feel Pain also gives in full on the twelve and boards without regard to losses, which is also true for Dark Chaotic Destruction, whereby here a few smaller breaks are built in, but which are primarily intended to get new momentum. With Nervochaos there is also a self-titled track, which is in parts punk or sometimes more doomy, before you concentrate with Pure Hemp for a whole 50 seconds back on the core business and knock out an almost grindcore-like number.
Huge thunder weather
Towards the end of the album, a certain prayer wheel-like repetition can no longer be avoided, because Scavengers of the Underworld, just like Perish Slowly, simply brutally punch in and put the home furnishings in noticeable danger.
The Devil's Work takes some pressure off at the end and moves in rather slower climes, but represents a memorable conclusion to this more than pleasantly designed Best Ofs.
Conclusion
Nervous chaos celebrates birthday with Dug Up (Diabolical Reincarnations) and lets the masses participate in it. For fans of the band, this offers the opportunity to experience the old classics in a new guise, while newcomers will find a perfect starting point to take a closer look at the band – which they definitely should. 8 / 10 - Soundmagnet
