BAND
» english version » deutsche Version
Since forming the band somewhere around 2004 and rehearsing for years in a dark, wet and moldy cellar, COROVA turned complete and arise two years later. The band recorded two demo songs in May 2007, which never where released on a real platform, just for the myspace purpose and to catch some shows. So they did some touring around Germany , France and Luxembourg in the past years, playing with bands like Nesseria (France), Under the Pledge of Secrecy ( Germany ), Do Androids dream of Electric Sheep ( Luxembourg ) and many more.
All band members used to play in several bands (some of you might know) before; some of them were/are: Nicoffeine (Blunoise), Creutzfeldt (Bastardized Recordings, Scene Police), Aschera, Bs System, Appreciate Ground and Schmetterclub. Of course the sound of COROVA is influenced by those, nevertheless it`s different… sometimes totally different. Actually it`s very hard to describe their music in an appropriate way. Call it Hardcore, call it Metal, call it Doom, call it heavy, call it slow, call it whatever. Most opinions they recieved compare them to bands like 16, Neurosis, Cult of Luna, Black Sabbath, King Crimson, Tiamat etc. Some of them fit more, some of them maybe in a single note and some of them even don`t.
„Sequence of a March“ was recorded from March till April 2008 at Die Tonmeisterei, Oldenburg , Germany . The vocals were done by Sascha Hoffmann who works for Tonstudio 45.
Just a short press quote:
Dirty, ugly and savage doom metal. Here we can listen to a modern kind of metal really aggressive and quite blowsy mixed in a messy and grimy sound production. Raw and brutal composition structure. Music based on deformation guitars and dirty amplifiers. Coarse and gruff vocals follow every note of the tracks. An album replete with sludge and hardcore sounds. This is brutal music under an atmospheric mask. They sound original and modern. They are not produce a new kind of metal but they fulfilled with desire and a heavy spirit. Their doom is beautiful and more experimental than other new bands. This is sludge metal with a hardcore metal attitude. Quite strong and hard. (noiz.wordpress.com)
During the last year COROVA concentrated on writing new material. They also took another man on board and the new record will come soon… for good reason, be patient!

Some Reviews
GREEN HELL:
Spitzendebut der Koblenzer - Die
Musik von Corova lässt sich grob zwischen Hardcore, Prog und Doom
einordnen. Massive Gitarrenwände stürzen über dem Hörer zusammen und
werden im nächsten Moment weggewischt von atmosphärischen, düsteren
Klangflächen. Die Vocals sind meist am Limit und geben dem Ganzen
nochmal einen ordentlichen Schub nach vorne. Technisch spielt die Band
auf beachtlich hohem Level. Sehr hörenswerte Platte, die sich erst nach
mehreren Durchläufen ganz erschließt.
OX-FANZINE #82:
Unbarmherzig
entfacht die Koblenz/Neuwieder Nachfolgeband von CREUTZFELDT und
ASCHERA auf ihrem Debüt ein musikalisches Höllenfeuer zwischen NEUROSIS
und THE OCEAN. Die acht Songs wirken bedrohlich. Schleppend, leidend
und krank suchen sie ihre Auseinandersetzung. COROVA verbreiten auf
hohem musikalischen Niveau solch eine düstere Stimmung, wie sie andere
Bands nur aufgrund ihres regelmäßigen Heroinkonsums herzustellen
wissen. Und das ist absolut positiv gemeint!
ALLSCHOOLS.DE:
Bass
und Drums haben so viel Schub, dass selbst über eine kleine
Stereoanlage immer noch genug dickflüssige Doombrühe aus den Boxen
sickert und, langsam wie Öl, alles unter sich begräbt. Jedem der es
langsam und „doomig“ mag, sei diese CD ans Herz gelegt!
