THE NERV – TRUST IN FIRE

The opening voice calling you, the citizens of punk and hardcore, to come and listen to the title track is just one clue as to the political bend in every song, every note. Push it. Push play on that device and listen. “Arab Spring” is a highlight that lets you feel the full force of lead singer Nis Anthropes scream cum croon inflection belting out topical lyrics over Chris Campbells old school shreds, the menacing yet funky bass of Ian Larkin, and former Death Angel drummer Andy V. Galeon.
