For fans of Bolt Thrower, At The Gates, GBH, Carnivore, Entombed // Hand-numbered 4-page digipak, 400 copies worldwide. Nerve Saw was born in 2010 as an outlet for Sadistik Forest bass player / vocalist Markus Makkonen. Whereas Sadistik Forest at the time was heading to more technical direction, Markus felt that his love for classic "pick up truck" death metal, like Obituary, Six Feet Under and Master needed a new channel of expression to manifest itself. First Nerve Saw EP, Call of the Casket, was recorded in the summer of 2011 with Sadistik Forest producer of the time Samu M?nnikk? handling the producing/recording duties and Markus performing and writing all the music. Unfortunately the EP was buried in the vaults of a record company who signed the band, but eventually never released anything from Nerve Saw. It was dug up by Old Skull Productions and eventually released in 2017, six years later. All this time Nerve Saw existed and Markus had time to think what to do with the band. "As 2010's went on, I started to feel that before I can record anything new for Nerve Saw, I will need to find a fresh angle to the thing," Markus begins. "Traditional death metal sound was coming more and more saturated and I was hoping maybe to refresh the situation a bit. To come up with something that was not so typical to the times." "Then one day, few years back, I was listening to my old Finnish punk and hardcore records and realized that the answer had been there, right in front of me all the time. I would just need to combine my two early loves in music - punk and death metal!" Nerve Saw is Markus Makkonen (Sadistik Forest, ex-Hooded Menace) - vocals / bass, Heikki Matero (Se, josta ei puhuta) - guitars, Michael Dorrian (Anatomy of I) - drums
