Nadja's Sv—originally released on CD by Essence Music back in 2016—finally sees a vinyl release on the band's own label, Broken Spine. For this re-issue, the album was re-mixed and -mastered especially for vinyl and features brand new artwork by Lapis Niger (from Uochi Toki). Sv was originally composed and first performed in 2012 for two festivals in Berlin, one a semi-legal outdoor rave under a highway overpass, the other an Armageddon-themed edition of Occultofest. Thematically (if not exactly sonically), Sv carries on from Nadja's 2007 album Radiance of Shadows exploring post-nuclear reality, combining layered, noisy drones with heavy industrial, almost-techno beats.
"It’s like being sucked down the drain of some massive sink, while war rhythms are played and it just happens to take forever to be pulled down by that repetitive swirl."
—The Sleeping Shaman
"Sv features one track, 'Sievert,' which lasts 41 minutes. Consisting of a combination of noises, drone explorations, claustrophobic percussion and negatively-charged bass, it’s an immense aural undertaking that deserves your full attention."
—Wonderbox Metal
"That screaming, excoriating, bruising crush of interlocking drumbeats and guitar chords feeling like they’re never going to end until that terminal fade and churn, that classic Nadja sound emerging at last."
—Freq
