Natvre's/Early Cvlts/Argento Records/2017 Full Length Review


  Natvre's  are  a  band  from  Greece  that  plays  a  very  raw  and  psychotic  form  of  black  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2017  album  "Early  Cvlt's"  which  will  be  released  on  October  by  Argento  Records.

  Atmospheric  soundscapes  start  off  the  album  along  with  a  brief  use  of  drones  while folk  instruments  can  also  be  heard  briefly  and  after  a  couple  of  minutes  programmed  beats  are  added  onto  the  recording  and  after  the  intro  the  music  starts  going  into  more  of  a  heavier  musical  direction.

  Vocals  are  mostly  angry  sounding  black  metal  screams  while  the  riffs also  bring  in  a  decent  amount  of  dark  sounding  melodies  along  with  the  music  also  mixing  in  both  old  school  and  modern  influences  and  when  guitar  solos  and  leads  are  utilized  they  are  done  in  a  very  melodic  fashion.

  Blast  beats  can  also  be  heard  at  times  while  the  faster  sections  of  the  songs  bring  in decent  amount  of  tremolo  picking  which  also  gives  the  songs  more  of  a  raw  feeling  along  with  the  songs  also  bringing  in  a  great  mixture  of  slow,  mid  paced  and  fast  parts  and  the  closing  track  is  very long  and  epic  in  length  and  also  is  an  instrumental  that  is  done  in  a  very  experimental  fashion.

  Natvre's  creates  another  recording  that  remains  true  to  the  raw  and  psychotic  style  of  black  metal  that  was  established  on  their  previous  release,  the  production  sounds  very  dark,  raw  and  heavy  while  the  lyrics  cover  Obscure  Philosophy  and  Paganism  themes.

  In  my  opinion  this  is  another  great  sounding  recording  from  Natvre's  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  raw  and  psychotic  black  metal,  you  should  check  out  this  album.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Night  Of  The  Sun"  :Geometrical  Confuse"  and  "Prehistoric  Technology".  8  out  of  10.

Natvre's Interview


1.For those that have never heard of you before, can you tell us a little bit about the band?

 Over a decade now we explore heavy music.Over a decade now we waste time,money and spiritual creativity to projects that always left us with the feeling of incompleteness.On the Fall of 2014 we decide To create A MONSTER.Free from all the dogmatic logic of any scene,of any expectations and illusions, we attacked the dark mother of inspiration with all our senses. And she gave us NATVRE'S  

2.In December you had released your first album, how would you describe the musical sound that is presented on the recording?

Well in December we just upload the album on bandcamp unofficially.The official release was on 26th of January via Clean head productions.We create the album rehearsing on a cold basement with almost no Light.We believe that this claustrophobic and cold energy was injected in the very soul of the songs,So the job in the recording studio was easy.We used no fancy equipment and no editing .The raw and psychotic power of the sound was tamed by our great Engineer and good friend Stelios"stelth"Koslidis.
3.Your lyrics cover Obcure Philosophies and paganism, can you tell us a little bit more about your interest in these topics?

First of all i must say that the lyrics have the same importance with the music.  Obscure Philosophies and paganism are just the surface. they are the tools.a dark approach to the multi levels of the universe.we are two lyricists in the band with different approach but with  the same expression hunger.When the universe has something to tells us, words are escaping from our mouths and those words are becoming lyrics.Then the unique shelf of each song selects the right words to tell it story    

4.What is the meaning and inspiration behind the name 'Natvre's?

Natvre's, or with the conventional grammar Nature's stands for all the creations and the characteristics on this planet.She creates,she destroys.Light and darkness. As a band we are trying to "translate"  her dark and destructive force into sounds.Nature's wrath

5.What are some of the best shows that the band has played so far and also how would you describe your stage performance?

No live rituals yet. who ever is interesting to book us this is the way

6.Do you have any touring or show plans for the future?

Yes absolutely,a European tour is our first goal. We want to spread our music as far as it's possible and we believe that the band actually "is a band" when it's hitting a stage.

7.The album was released on 'Clean head productions', can you tell us a little bit more about this label?

Clean head productions is a kind of distro, supporting underground bands and promoting their music. Actually they work with grind and death metal bands,but when they heard us they believed on us and took the decision to support us with worldwide distribution.Althought it is a co-production so it is not something that binds us with any contract . They do very good job in the underground scene sending cd's everywhere.

8.On a worldwide level how has the feedback been to your music by fans of black metal?

It is very soon to tell something about the level of response but the first signs seem promising.

9.Where do you see the band heading into musically during the future?

Our will is to enter normally in the black metal scene, to work hard and promote well our job , be focused to our plans and inspire people.

10.What are some of the bands or musical styles that have had an influence on your music and also what are you listening to nowadays?

We are three different individuals, we listen almost same bands and same style of music. For Natvre's we believe that Norway inject too much poison in our veins' but Norwegian black metal isn't necessary the one and only influence. As musicians we listen to big variety of extreme sound. Nowadays we work so hard with our project so we are listening to Natvre's .


11.What are some of your non musical interests?

We are very different characters although we have the same passion for music, we know each other for very long time so we are close friends but we have different interests . From reading political and philosophical books to climbing and drifting in mountains



12.Before we wrap up this interview, do you have any final words or thoughts?

First of all thank you very much for the interview and secondly we challenge all the readers to listen to Natvre's wrath.

Natvre's/Wrath/Clean Head Productions/2015 CD Review


  Natvre's  are  a  band  from  Greece  that  plays  a  very  psychotic  form  of  black  metal  and  this  is  a  review of  their  2015  album  "Wrath"  which  was released  by  Clean  Head  Productions.

  A  very  hard  and  heavy  black  metal  sound  starts  off  the  album  along  with  the  riffs  also  bringing  in  melodies  and  once  the  grim  screams  kick  in  the  music  starts  going  for  more  of  a  modern  and  mid  tempo  take  on  the  genre  and  when  the  music  speeds  up  it  goes  into  more  of  a  raw  direction  along  with  a  great  amount  of  blast  beats.

  A  couple  of  the  tracks  are  very  long  and  epic in  length  and  the  guitar  leads  also  use  a  great  amount  of  melody  and  throughout  the  recording  you  can  hear  a  great  mixture  of  slow,  mid  paced  and  fast  parts  and  you  can  also  hear  all  of  the  musical  instruments  that  are  present  on  the  recording  and  as  the  album  progresses  nature  sounds  are  also  brought  in  at  times  along  with  one  of the  tracks  being  all  instrumental  and  it  also  introduces atmospheric  elements  and  clean  playing  onto  the  recording  while  the  later  songs  return  back  to  more  of  a  harsh  black  metal  style.

  Natvre's  plays  a  style  of  black  metal  that  is  very  modern  while  also being  very  heavy,  grim  and  psychotic  at  the same  time, the  production  sounds  very  dark  and  raw  while  the  lyrics  cover  Obcure  Philosophies  and  Paganism.

  In  my  opinion  Natvre's  are  a  very  great  sounding  psychotic  and  aggressive  black  metal  band  and   if you  are  a  fan  of  this  musical  genre,  you  should  check  out  this  album.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Narcissus"  "Wrath"  and  "Endless".  8  out  of  10.
