The punishing bass drives their songs forward, with the guitars following the patterns. There’s also a gnarly depth and maturity to their songwriting. They bring their A-game to this album with the driving rhythms of bassist Pedro Lemes whose low-end rumble could wake the dead. Hungry and relentless, the songs are delivered with a passion that can only be earned with years of dedication to the cause. Their riffs are pure evil, generated by a band who don’t care about dirt under the fingernails. Performed by traditional Brazilian Researcher Ricardo Vignini, Tomb Mold is a pleasing opportunity to pause for breath after the frantic start. And then, the buggers throw in a beautiful acoustic guitar interlude which throws you as it’s so unexpected. This is hyper-blasting into the stratosphere.

NervoChaos bring it hard, and they bring it heavy. Sons Of Sin leads the charge, a ferocious roar introducing the mayhem that follows, with the first four tracks delivered in around 12 minutes. A heaving mass of punishing, rolling riffs, battering drums and Brian Stone’s unique gruff vocal delivery. NervoChaos – Chthonic Wrath (Emanzipation Productions)Ĭhthonic Wrath is a brute. The band have been prolific in recent years, releasing an album every 12 months since 2021, and although the latest line-up is relatively new, with only drummer Eduardo Lane an original member from the outfit that began in 1996, they are now on their third album together following 2021’s Dug Up … Diabolical Reincarnations and last years All Colors of Darkness.

Now in their 26th year, Brazilian Death Metal legends NervoChaos show no signs of slowing with their latest and 11th full-length, Chthonic Wrath.
