Review by Krys on June 28, 2001.

Does the ‘90 album title "Hallucinating Anxiety" or ’92 ‘s ...In Pains" tell you anything? If they do then you can say ‘I’m a true black metal fan’, as for me they don’t (rather didn’t), but... I never considered myself a black metal fan and I thought I’d never be until… I’ve heard Cadaver Inc "Discipline".

Formed by guitarist Anders Odden, going by the nickname Neddo, Cadaver’s "Discipline" was recorded with only one goal in mind: brutally destroy everything that’s in their path. Joined by hyperfast drummer Czral, who is listed as ex-Dimmu Borgir but for most people should be known as Aggressor (founder of Satyricon or Aura Noir), vocalist Apollyon (Aura Noir, Dodheimsgard) and LJ Balvaz on bass, this is another Norwegian all-star lineup created of an almost perfect mix of black, death, thrash and speed metal.

This release has everything; 40 minutes of old school black metal based on a mix of Mayhem and Emperor guitar riffing, Slayer’s solos, Hellhammer’s drum blasts and Aura Noir vocals. No, this is not a rip-off of any of those bands, Cadaver Inc. used a well-known formula of taking what’s best from each genre and made a furiously intense release. Don't expect any atmospheric moments on this CD, don’t even expect many slow parts cause there are only few of them and they are not sufficient enough to take a deep breath. From opener 'Primal' through 'Deliverance' and 'Murderhead' you’ll get sick riffing, unholy drumbeats and perverted screams. The Celtic Frost style riffs of 'Rupture' will give some breathing room but midway through the track it turns again into demolition machine. By the time you get to 'Point Zero', the first real break on this sick release, you will be so exhausted that you won’t even notice it in anticipation for another blow. I suggest you click “Pause” or play it again cause after that they go back to what they do best, piss on your weak subconscious.

What makes "Discipline" even more special and appealing to the listener is, its classic black metal atmosphere but combined with an excellent production and a good recording quality. It’s not one of those ‘true black metal’ CDs recorded with horrible sound and unreadable booklets. You can actually hear every note from very skilled musicians that are not afraid of showing the world their talents. This album will grow on you with every spin and week from now I might even come back here to give them a higher grade.

By the way, for those of you who don’t have a clue about two album titles I mentioned at the beginning of the review, they come from the Anders Odden’s early 90’s band Cadaver that was released on Necrosis.

That’s all for now, it’s time to do some backlogging on those early Cadaver CDs.

Bottom Line: Highly recommended for everyone into extreme metal... and since you are here (on the net) check out their excellent website, very much worth-seeing: www.cadaverinc.com

The new Wrvth blends ambient music with hardcore in an effective blend. These songs feature numerous style changes along the course of their running time. There are plenty of hardcore breakdowns mixed in with small segues of atmospheric gentleness. The end result is much completely unlike anything else you’ve ever heard.

The vocals typically take the form of shrieked ones. Though they aren’t the most pleasant, these vocals complement the remainder of the music nicely. The songs here are often epic in their construction. This leads to a variety of emotional responses on the part of the listener. Depending on the mood, the band Wrvth is able to convey a lot of mood within their tracks quite effectively. Appropriately, the vocals fit the mould the band is trying to obtain. It’s some of the moments where the vocals are shrieked that the music becomes the most intense. There is still some variation that adds subtle moments at the correct occasions to break up the music into loud and soft portions. This album is still a very harsh and aggressive one in tone at most of the opportune times. It brings forth the chaos in an organized and thoughtful manner, however. The most abrasive portions of the disc are those that catch your attention, but the quiet ones that break things up are usually just as effective. See the track Lured by Knaves for an example of a track that has the right amount of aggression in places, but is broken up by a smooth saxophone portion. If you’re looking for an album with a nice variety of brutality and subtlety, this could be your album.

Though it’s one solid work through and through, I still think this fails to be one of the best albums of 2015 because of a lack of a standout characteristic. Wrvth still remains something for hardcore and atmospheric music fans to lap up.
