NIGHT VERSES
LIFT YOUR EXISTENCE
PHENOMENALLY EXECUTED POST-HARDCORE FROM EX-THE SLEEPING MEMBER
(Southworld)
9/10
During his time in The Sleeping, Douglas Robinson gave the impression he could go a step further by utilising his voice in a more aggressive style. Thankfully that time has arrived and his new outfit Night Verses do not fail to deliver on this occasion. Their debut ‘Lift Your Existence’ is almost a homage to early Thursday records but with more technical elements as is proven in ‘Antidepressants’ and ‘ Time Erases Time’. Despite fifteen tracks long, rarely is there a moment of filler. It’s been a while since the world of experimental hardcore produced some outstanding material. Get on it!
