Formed back in 1984 and influenced by Slayer, Possessed, Kreator, Celtic Frost and Bathory, NECRODEATH released a cult-demo tape titled ‘The Shining Pentagram’ and obtained an incredible success through the underground. This first demo-release is still considered a real ‘piece of thrash/black history’! Tons of tributes in major magazines, fanzines and other underground features highlighted the release of the first two legendary albums ‘Into The Macabre’ (1987) and ‘Fragments Of Insanity’ (1989). NECRODEATH is one of the most important and outrageous names in extreme metal, a distinctive influence on modern extreme acts such as Cradle Of Filth, Mayhem, Immortal, The Haunted/At The Gates, Brutal Truth, Marduk and Desaster among others, who spotted NECRODEATH as one of the absolute fave acts in their interviews! Unfortunately after the mentioned second release several line-up problems and the unprofessional attitude of the old record label forced the band guys to suspend their activity. read more...

NECRODEATH Idiosyncrasy

J-Man
Back in 1996, Swedish death metal act Edge of Sanity released Crimson - a shocking musical statement that pushed the boundaries of extreme metal as we knew it. The brilliant sci-fi lyrical story, combined with crushingly brutal Swedish-styled riffs and an epic forty minute progressive rock-influenced composition made Crimson one of the most important death metal releases in the genre's history. So why did I start out my review by giving a brief synopsis of this fifteen year old masterpiece? Because I could very well see Necrodeath's Idiosyncrasy having the very same effect within the modern thrash metal crowd.

This single forty minute composition obviously bears resemblance to Crimson in its length, but also in its musical vision and adventurism. Idiosyncrasy may not reach the masterful craft found on Crimson, but I do sincerely hope that this adventurous effort puts Necrodeath on the extreme metal map at large. If you haven't checked out these Italian death/thrashers yet, Idiosyncrasy is a damn good place to start listening.

Idiosyncrasy sticks to groove-infested modern thrash metal throughout much of its duration, but it also features lots of tempo shifts and dynamic changes. Necrodeath also adds a few acoustic guitar portions, giving the album a nice contrast between melody and brutality. Of course, Idiosyncrasy has an "epic" edge due to its 40 minute length for just one song, but it also has a few other progressive tendencies that aren't often found in modern death/thrash. In addition to crushingly heavy thrash riffs, there are also some twisted and jazz-influenced bits that show that Necrodeath are very much interested in experimentation and innovation. The sleek and modern production also suits the music perfectly.

Idiosyncrasy is a pretty original album, and that's one of the first things I hope for when listening to newer releases from more experienced bands. It may seldom deviate from a fairly standard modern thrash formula, but its epic scope and progressive tendencies always keep things interesting. I'd say this impressive effort from Necrodeath deserves 3.5 stars.

This album is a pure devastating lava flow from underworld! And if you have weak heart stay away from this album the death will be instantaneous. First because this album is played and sung a extremely high speed, second because the songs present really heavy themes, third for the production and mixing extremely poor, due to budget.

But if you have strong heart this is a great album, also if except for "Morte Tenebrarum" all the songs are pure dissacration of Rock. I read in this album a sense of terror and magic, typical of Death and of some types of Black Metal, two appropriate genres for this album.

However, this album presents a slaughterhouse sounds and dark colors that I can not describe it differently than I did.

Long live Necrodeath.
