Night Verses Lift Your Existence

Night Verses prove with Lift Your Existence that they are among a rare breed of bands that does not create one solid release and taper off, nor are they the type that needs “strengthening.” With this album, Night Verses do not ‘hone in’ on their sound, which is typically a successful way of creating a secondary release. Out of the Sky proved there was no need, and to that end, they have broadened their sound while utilizing each member to their full, respective capacities. “Introducing: The Rot Under the Sun” is a brilliant summation of everything listeners enjoyed from Out of the Sky, readying you for the increased aggression and versatility that will follow. “Rage” produces a raging movement that fluctuates with complex rhythmic elements, the ever-impressive Aric Improta flexing his notorious drumming while Reilly Herrera provides the undulating, crisp bass lines that underscore irregular patterns and odd-metered structures, harmonizing near-perfectly with all the other instrumentation and forming a motif through all 15 tracks. As one of the quickest, most pugnacious tracks on the album, it’s sure to stand out as a fan favorite and primary single.
