DVC (abbreviation for Darth Vader's Church ) was an American thrash and death metal band from Tallahassee , Florida , which was founded in 1988 and disbanded around 1992.
history
The band was formed in the spring of 1988 and consisted of guitarist and vocalist Parker Knapp, bassist Alain Rodgers, guitarist and vocalist Glenn Lawhon and drummer Todd Thompson. In 1989 the first demo appeared with Constrictus Mortum . In the years 1988 and 1989 the band was working on their debut album in 1989 under the name Descendant Upheaval in Manufacture Sound Output Co. appeared. In the summer of 1991, SPV and Steamhammer Records licensed the album for the German market. In 1992, Molecular Shadow was followed by a second album on Manufacture Sound Output Co. and Steamhammer Records / SPV. In April of the same year the band went on a European tour together with Paradise Lost , Unleashed and Protector before the group split up.
style
The vocals were typical of death metal, guttural . Elements from Thrash and Speed Metal as well as Grindcore were also processed in the songs . Robert Müller from Metal Hammer described the music on Descendant Upheaval as thrash-heavy Death Metal. Müller also wrote in another issue that the debut was very reminiscent of Kreator . On the second album, he emphasized the technically demanding playing of the electric guitar, whereby it "but does not slide into atheist- like mess".
