Scarve

**Scarve** was a French extreme metal force that emerged in the late ’90s, known for their razor-sharp blend of technical death metal, thrash, and groove. The band’s lineup featured drummer Dirk Verbeuren (later of Megadeth) and guitarist Patrick Martin, who helped shape their dense, precision-driven sound. Across albums like *Irradiant* (2004) and *The Undercurrent* (2007), Scarve delivered relentless riffage, intricate rhythms, and visceral vocals, earning a cult following for their chaotic yet controlled intensity. Their 2016 release *Luminiferous* continued this legacy before the group entered an indefinite hiatus. Though short-lived in activity, Scarve left a lasting mark on the tech-metal underground with their head-spinning musicianship and explosive live shows.
