Dod Beverte/Peace, Love And Angry Noise!/2018 Full Length Review

  Denver,  Colorado's  solo  project  Dod  Beverte  has  returned  with  a  new  recording  which  shows  the  music  going  into  more  of  an  experimental  direction  and  this  is  a  review  of  his  self  released  2018  album  "Peace,  Love  And  Angry  Noise".

  A  very  powerful  sounding  bass  guitar  starts  off  the  album  along  with  some  clean  vocals  a  few  seconds  later  while  spoken  word  parts  are  also  utilized  at  times  as  well  as  some  distorted  guitar  leads  being  used  briefly  and  when  synths  are  utilized  they  give  the  music  more  of  an  avant  garde  feeling.

  At  times  the  music  gets  very  experimental  while  death  metal growls  and  harsh  noises  are  also  added  into  certain  sections  of  the  recording  along  with  one  of  the  songs  introduces  acoustic  guitars  into  the  music  as  well  as  every  track  sounding  very  different  from  each  other.

  On  this  recording  Dod  Beverte  goes  into  more  of  an  experimental  and  avant  garde  direction  while  also  having  influences  of  harsh  noise  and  death  metal,  the  production  sounds  very  dark  while  the  lyrics  cover  politically  incorrect  and  offensive  themes.

  In  my  opinion  this  is  another  great  sounding  recording  from  Dod  Beverte  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  avant  garde  and  experimental  rock,  you  should  check  out  this  album.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Mohammed  Was  A  Pedophile  Sand  Sucker"  "Criminals  Obviously  buy  Guns  Legally"  and  "Equal  Rights  For  Me,  Myself,  and  I".  8  out  of  10.

Dod Beverte Interview

1. Can you tell us a little bit about your solo project and how it is different than the work in your other projects?
When I first started, my solo work and Dethcentrik were the same. Dethcentrik went on hiatus and I was unsure if the project would continue. I ended up creating 3 Dethcentrik EPs by myself actually before the release of my first solo album. The following Dethcentrik had gained kept it afloat during the hiatus, and I was able to get some help from my good friend Jackie T, and re-form Dethcentrik. Slowly the two projects began to separate, and Dethcentrik is more rock at this point in time, and my solo material has become more industrial.

2. How would you describe the musical sound that is presented on the demo?
I would call what you heard industrial, or just art music. I even took an approach typical of classical: expression through only instrumentation.

3. What are some of the themes and concepts you bring out in the music?
The state of the United States, and the world. Mental illness.

4. What was the decision behind doing a solo project?
Originally, when I thought Dethcentrik was broken up for good, I wanted to continue music on my own, and my solo work began. One song of mine "Why Won't You Die?" was originally recorded by me as Dethcentrik, but it was released on my solo album. My first solo album was actually released as Dethcentrik and under my solo name, and many of the songs had previously been released as Dethcentrik. The only two songs that I did not entirely write, compose, and record of Dethcentrik's pre-Why the Innocent Die Young material were Life Down the Toilet and Morderisk Depresjon, other than the live material that is, and there was only one show; it just happened to be performed well enough to record. For the longest time Dethcentrik and I were one and the same anyway.

5. When I listened to the music you had a very harsh noise sound a style that I have not heard much of since brighter Death Now and Merzbow, how would you say the noise scene has evolved over the years?
I would say noise is more of an art-based genre. Less about the popularity and more about the expression. I think over time that mentality has actually increased, and it has more prestige than it used to.

6. On a worldwide level how has your solo project been received by fans of underground music?
Same as Dethcentrik really: mixed reception; loved or hated, nothing between really.

7. What direction do you see this project heading into during the future?
More classical influence. I actually compose on my own, but I'm very much more reluctant to share it as publicly as I am other works of mine. Perhaps on future releases I will be less reluctant the share those types of works.

8. Colorado is known for having a metal scene but how would you describe the noise scene in this state?
I would say it's non-existent. Have to reach out internationally for support.

9. What are some bands or musical styles that have influenced the music that is on the solo project?
Industrial, classical, jazz, and other forms of electronica on the whole.

10. Any final words or thoughts before we wrap up this interview?
I would like to thank you very much for your support, and for this interview!

Dod Beverte/Dawn Of New Tryanny/2012 CD Review

  Dod Berverte is a musician from Colorado Springs, Colorado also known for his work in Dethcentrik and with his solo release he goes for more of a dark harsh noise/experimental/power electronics/death industrial sound and this is a review of his self released 2012 album "Dawn Of New Tryanny".

Drum programming are all slow militant industrial beats, while the noise effects sound very harsh and brutal sounding, as for the synths when they are utilized they bring a very evil and dark ambient/experimental sound to the music.

Vocals as well as traditional instruments are absent from this recording, while the song themes cover the fucked up side of the world, as for the production it has a very dark, raw and primitive sound to it.

In my opinion Dod Berverte are a very good harsh noise/experimental/harsh electronics/death industrial project and if you are a fan of this style, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Voices" and "Earth Accepts Her Fate". RECOMMENDED BUY.
