Formed as a quartet in Nancy, France in January 1994, SCARVE made their first steps with a self-titled demo tape featuring a rough, yet personal mixture of death and heavy metal. Reviewers acclaimed the originality of the music, as well as the wide vocal range which remains to this day an essential ingredient of SCARVE's sound.

The self-financed mini-CD Six Tears Of Sorrow, released in 1996, confirmed the band's undeniable songwriting capabilities. It was received with countless praising reviews worldwide, and established SCARVE as one of the most promising French underground acts.

In 1998, the addition of two new vocalists, specializing in melodic and brutal vocals respectively, gave the band the potential to fully express their musical ambitions. One promo-CD later, SCARVE signed to French label Furtive Metal. The resulting 11 song missile album, entitled Translucence, benefits from a crushing production courtesy of mastermind Daniel Bergstrand (Meshuggah, Strapping Young Lad, Darkane). A deadly mixture of dark melodies, futuristic atmospheres and relentless brutality, Translucence absorbs the listener into a terrifying universe evoking the infinite possibilities and dangers of nano-technology and genetic manipulation. The album was released throughout Europe by Swedish metal label War Music.

SCARVE is now ready to unleash their second full-length bomb entitled Luminiferous, once again produced by Daniel Bergstrand. Including blasting futuristic masterpieces such as Emulate The Soul, Capsized and Infertile Ways. Luminiferous takes the sextet's unique personality to a whole new level of inspired extremity. For its release, The band have inked a worldwide deal with Listenable Records. A tour with No Return and Dew-Scented is already in the works. Be sure not to miss Luminiferous in early March 2002!
