Artist History Metal? Metalcore? Grindcore? Who cares? Extreme metal that mows, nuff said. Three suburban punks from the Monterey Bay can do as well as anyone, right? All and all, The Darvon Complex isn't subject to much argument. It is what it is, "punch-you-in-the-throat" metal. Taking it to the road, or playing a local dive, they play like monkeys on the chains of organ grinders... really pissed off. Making appearances all over California earned them a following of Death Metal heads, Hardcore Tough-guys, and Screamo-philiacs everywhere, definatally somthin to not be missed.

Press Reviews Darvon Complex - Demo V 1.1 2001, self-released 1.Intro 2.Rise of the Phoenix 3.13th Dimension Dimentia 4.Goat 5.Run While most technical hardcore/metal/grind bands (Dillinger Escape Plan, Deadguy, Benumb, ect.) have, thus far, done nothing but give me the lingering incentive to throw their CDs out of a car window, I must say that I am mildly impressed with the debut demo recording of this Pacific Grove-based band, the Darvon Complex. While many of the aforementioned bands I listed rely on overt technicality, dizzying time changes, annoyingly upfront guitars and unneccessary musical excess to create nothing more than soulless noise, the Darvon Complex uses appropriately demo quality production much to their advantage. As opposed to bludgeoning the listener over the head with a wall of guitars (this is where the low-fi production comes in quite aptly), the Darvon Complex gives the guitars just enough clarity and room so that it does not hide what makes most music so enjoyable; the talent and energy. Also, the band occasionally will throw a groove at the listener rather than suddenly change tempos every ten or so seconds (such as the 2:10 or so mark of "Goat," a song that, throughout it's short duration, is abundant with great riffs and grooves). If you find any of the aforementioned bands to your liking, then feel free to contact the band at DarvonComplex@aol.com. In conclusion, this brief demo serves as, if nothing else, a fun listen. alec a head- chedsy "The Darvon Complex" Post-grindcore from California, a hyper-pissed musical attack that pays little attention to genre boundaries and more attention to kicking the hell out you Necropolis Records
