Doctor Nerve is a rock band that has been annihilating the boundaries between rock, metal, improvisation, jazz, and experimental music since 1983.
![]() EREIA RUNE 126 |
Composed by Nick Didkovsky, Ereia, recorded with The Sirius String Quartet was the group's fifth studio album. "Four years of hard labor & 14 musicians with a commitment to total annihilation; painstaking compositions & apocalyptic deconstructions burned into a single laser-guided CD projectile." Nick Didkovsky "Using deconstructed phrasing, computer-generated scores, and intuitive improvisation techniques, the Nerve is one of the most fluent ensembles currently nestled in the Big Apple. |
![]() EVERY SCREAMING EAR RUNE 88 |
Every Screaming Ear could be considered an overview & summation of the group's work to date, as it includes live reworkings of material from their previous recordings, as well as compositions, deconstructions & improvisations, all with excellent sonics. In addition, there are two amazing tracks by Nick Didkovsky with Japan's Isso Yukihiro group [from Nick's recent Japanese tour], a chamber orchestra performing a Nerve piece, & a new studio recording of Nerve with The Meridian Arts Ensemble performing Capt. Beefheart's "When It Blows It's Stacks". |

![]() SKIN RUNE 70 |
On Skin, Nerve finds the unlikely meeting ground between heavy metal, thrashcore and artrock. The densest, heaviest, most intricately composed music you could ever imagine! |
![]() ARMED OBSERVATION / OUT TO BOMB FRESH KINGS RUNE 38 |
These are the first two albums, complete on one CD, that cemented Nerve's reputation as one of New York City's most fast 'n' furious bands. The first album is somewhat more in the vein of the early 80's punk/jazz scene (Massacre, Material) than later work, and with embryonic versions of the lineup, but it still smokes. Armed Observation was their second, and the definitive Nerve sound is beginning to be cemented into place. Hot NYC downtown fusion. Get it while you can! |
