In advance of their 2016 Spring live takeover, California atmospheric tech death unit, WRVTH, unveils the visual companion to “Larkspur,” from their critically-lauded, self-titled full-length released via Unique Leader last year.
Directed by Justin Aragon, the punishing black and white performance clip finds the band in their most comfortable habitat: the stage. Check it out below:
WRVTH‘s latest run of onstage mayhem will commence with a short string of headlining dates this Friday, April 8th in Riverside, California and run through April 13th in Austin, Texas. From there, the band will join Seeker and Forty Winters for a fifteen-date pillage through the end of the month. The chaos continues with four more headlining dates from May 1st in Spokane, Washington through May 4th in Cupertino, California with additional live abrasions to be announced in the weeks to come.

Tracked at SharkBite/Castle Ultimate Studios by Zack Ohren (Suffocation, Fallujah, All Shall Perish et al.), Wrvth, commended by Dead Rhetoric for being, “bold and visceral, all while providing depth and feelings,” features a guest appearance from Daniel Casares of Bay Area jazz group, Atta Kid, on saxophone and continues to astound the ears of fans and critics globally for its expert balance of beauty and brutality.
“Exploring technically-driven death metal through a more emotive and atmospheric approach, WRVTH often takes the road less traveled.” — Dead Rhetoric
“[WRVTH‘s] penchant for dramatic atmospherics under ominous, stormy death metal might garner them ‘on a playlist with Fallujah’ one-liners. And the collective’s technical wizardry certainly makes them right at home on Unique Leader. But damn if the devil isn’t in the details here. WRVTH add to their sonic stew a heavy helping of skronk – think Gorguts, Ulcerate, Artificial Brain, etc. – and a dash of post-hardcore sensibility, both in the harmonic structure of the chords they’re using and the vocal approach, all of which makes for a much more moody and emotional experience.” – MetalSucks
“WRVTH‘s long stretches of ambience, combined with a half-billion different guitar riffs and occasional blast-beats, give the band the sense of an auteur, painting a multitude of different, distinctive pictures within their new disc’s run-time.” – No Clean Singing
“Wrvth is a triumph in a way that hasn’t really been seen before: by so skillfully blending riffy techdeath with genres that are known for their emotional qualities, WRVTH sees to it that the album is both beautiful and consistently engaging for the listener. This is THE atmospheric techdeath album, and it will be for years to come.” – Heavy Blog Is Heavy
“WRVTH reemerge with a unique, albeit morose, offering that outshines any previous efforts.” – Sputnik Music
Wrvth is out now on Unique Leader Records. Order yours today HERE.
