DVSR are a [[NeoclassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly rap-djent-nu-metal (-core) band]] from Sydney, Australia, formed in 2013. They initially started off under the name "Devastator" with their debut single "Unconscious". The band's name later was changed to DVSR in order to avoid confusion with some other bands which already had the same name while searching online. DVSR are noted for their unusual mixture of djent, fast-flow rap and metalcore and are often praised as "a better version of Music/{{Hacktivist}}" for more complex song structures and wider range of lyrical themes which are not limited to political issues and [[TakeThat blessing own coolness]].

* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: A solid 8, thanks to clean verses. Many of their riffs and breakdowns may squirt to 9 or even 10 though. However, the song "Remission" is only 2 as it contains no distorted guitar riffs at all. "Ready For War" is only 1 for being a straight-forward hip-hop track.

!!Tropes

* {{Djent}}: The main influence.
* GenreBusting: A djent band with rapped vocals, NuMetal influence, {{Metalcore}} breakdowns and ambient clean guitar parts - it's all about them.
* HarshVocals: {{Inverted|Trope}}; along with Tesseract, DVSR are one of the very few djent bands who use no harsh vocals or MetalScream at all.
* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: A solid 8, thanks to clean verses. Many of their riffs and breakdowns may squirt to 9 or even 10 though. However, the song "Remission" is only 2 as it contains no distorted guitar riffs at all.
* NeoclassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly: No comments.
* NuMetal: A very strong influence as they use "quiet verse-loud chorus" structure in songs "Fatal Attraction", "Life and Death", "Hooded Race", "Unconscious" and "Bad Company".
* RapMetal: See above.
* PoliticalRap: As mentioned above, DVSR don't tend to overuse this trope like Hacktivist. Their only political song is "Unconscious".
* SelfTitledAlbum: Again no comments.
* StepUpToTheMicrophone: Bassist Adrian performs the entire chorus of "Remmission" by himself.
* SurprisinglyGentleSong: "Remission".
* TakeThat: Not a song trope. Hacktivist's guitarist Timfy James being asked about DVSR in one of interviews called them "a meat and potatoes version of [[Music/{{Hacktivist}} us]]". DVSR's guitarist Andrew Stevens later responded with a video proving that an intro sample of "Hate" was taken from Ableton's demo library.
* VocalTagTeam: Matthew and Adrian, before the latter left the band.
