CD ReviewsScarve - Bombastic, Technical, Progressive & Brutal Christopher | 02/10/2003 (4 out of 5 stars) "I must say that Lumiferous is hands-down a superior recording. Scarve is a French death metal band that has remained fairly obscure since their first offering, Translucence. However, they are more than simple death metal. They combine formidable progressive and technical elements in their songwriting that separates them from the typical crux of cookie-cutter death metal bands permeating the genre. That said, the typical death metal stylings are there - extreme tempos, furious riffs, healthy doses of double-kick drum-work, gutteral growling... But it's the atypical styles that Scarve exudes that are most interesting. The sheer musicianship of the band separates them from most others in their genre. The drumwork on Luminiferous is absolutely amazing. And the technical guitar work is not far behind. Vocally, all extreme metal styles are leveraged - death metal growls, Black thrash screams and even a melodic vignette on occasion. Luminiferous boasts an amazignly layered yet squeaky-clean production courtesy of one of metal's premier knob-twisters, Daniel Bergstrand. Fans of Meshuggah, Opeth, Swano, etc... take note - Luminiferous is definitely for you and you will not be disappointed."
