Purchase Details Colored vinyl versions Feature summary Credits
LOUD may be the heaviest and most hard-hitting Doctor Nerve yet!

Mixed by Nik Chinboukas whose recording credits include Testament and Metal Allegiance, and mastered for maximum impact by Thomas Dimuzio, "LOUD" brings you four new Doctor Nerve tunes (and a bunch of bonus tracks) that are as aggressive as they are intricate.

Bonus tracks include alternative versions of the tunes with guitar solos by Henry Kaiser, Mike Keneally, Robert Musso, Kevin Hufnagel, René Lussier, Andrew Hawkins, Matt Hollenberg, and Shawn Persinger!

We offer you four choices:
  • Deluxe Package: heavy colored vinyl + CD + download, poster, insert autographed and numbered
  • Vinyl only (with poster and insert, not numbered or signed, includes download code)
  • CD only (includes all bonus tracks)
  • Download (includes all bonus tracks and pdf's of scores)

Important note for ultradeep fans/collectors: a few years ago Doctor Nerve offered a tour-item-only CD-R version (different guitars, different 'in-the-box' mix, no mastering) of these four tracks called Gift of Shame. Nick re-recorded all his guitars for LOUD, and the new mix and mastering is extraordinarily intense. Trust us, LOUD will blow you away!

Deluxe vinyl EP & CD package!
Let's start with the deluxe package. Here's what you get:
  • Hand numbered limited edition heavy weight 12" vinyl (180g). 100 total. Choice of colored vinyl (see below)
  • Insert art autographed by members of Doctor Nerve!
  • Four Doctor Nerve tunes mastered at 45rpm. Loud and clear!
  • Three color "Aside/Bside" special effects vinyl: colors flowing randomly into each other beautifully. Three different color schemes (see versions below)
  • Full color 12" poster insert, beautiful print of Masato Okano's cover art!
  • Insert with creepy vintage artwork by Tom Marsan, which was going to be a Doctor Nerve album cover back around 1984.
  • Glass mastered CD: Alternative Guitar Solos project bonus tracks! What's that? Nick invited some of his favorite guitarists to record guitar solos on these tunes. That means you get a flat-packaged CD as well, containing not only the versions of the vinyl tunes with Nick's original solos, but versions of the same tunes with replacement solos by Mike Keneally, Henry Kaiser, Matt Hollenberg (Cleric), Andrew Hawkins (Baring Teeth), Shawn Persinger is Prester John, Kevin Hufnagel (Dysrhythmia), René Lussier, and Robert Musso!
