NERVOUS DECAY are hailing from Nantes in France and have been founded in 2017. After a demo and a single they finally have unleashed their self-titled debut. ‘Cerberus Brace’ starts with a good mixture of classic US-styled Death Metal with a good doze of Thrash and a pretty technical edge. The song spreads a good old school vibe of the early 90s releases on Roadrunner and Roadracer Records. I am pretty sure you know which ones I mean. Especially the technical and audible bass immediately caught me. ‘Daily Poison’ continues even more technical and twisted and memories of music from ATHEIST and SADUS come straight into my mind. What I really dig is the old school feeling once again. It is seldom that a band manages to sound old school without copying any other band. And damn, listen to the bass and guitar solos. This is the real deal and a total surprise as I have not expected to find such a good debut nowadays. ‘Mirrors Of Pain’ is a groovy Thrash Metal bastard with pretty fast drumming and some pretty cool DEATH influenced guitars and a damn good melody line and again a pretty cool solo. The title track ‘Nervous Decay’ starts with a funny intro (radio news) before the Thrash Metal monster grooves itself into the listeners brain. ‘Shield Of Delusion’ starts very HM2-influenced and is a more Swedish influenced Death Metal track and also this style is presented very well effected and enjoyable as is has a really good groove and a doomy edge. ‘Doomsday Clock’ increases the speed again and combines their technical edge with old school Death and Thrash and a technical edge again in vein of mighty ATHEIST. The album closes with ‘Lobotomy’ which is a total wrecking ball and another groovy Death / Thrash Metal track with a killer melody line in the middle. NERVOUS DECAY definitely managed to write a really enjoyable debut with very good songs, even better instrumentation and a good sense for old school Metal. Fans of the mentioned bands and any other old school lunatic should check this killer debut out!
