Potvor is a metalpunk built on the aggression of hardcore and sound primitives according to the “guitar + drums” formula. A fusion of punk, sludge, black metal and noise rock.
"Do you remember such a St. Petersburg band as 808hardcore? The guys did not play for a whole year and, returning to writing new material in February, realized that it was strikingly different from the old creativity. Remaining a tandem of "guitar + drums", they became more like a dark variation of Pig Destroyer. If you like Russian dark hardcore, but with high noisy frequencies, then we definitely do not recommend skipping!"
"The energy is rushing out of these guys. It will be loud, impressionable not to include."
"It's probably the heaviest-sounding band of Saturday night, even though there are only two members. Here you have hardcore, black, punk, and sludge - Potvor can disperse the locomotive, or they can derail it. Evidence of this is the debut album about non-return."
"Black metal awakens as best it can when it is torn apart by elements of other genres, some combinations make more sense than others, but in the end, it's about breathing new life into a genre that can die very quickly. On their debut album, the duo from St. Petersburg, Potvor, tries to awaken black metal, bringing into it the influence of hardcore or near-punk fervor."
