Their Best Yet!

"This record is much better than I expected, with the departure of Phil Anselmo, I thought Necrophagia would loose it's new-found vision and intensity (as witnessed in "Holocausto De la Morte"), but "The Divine Art of Torture" is tha band's most acomplished effort to date. The songs show more dynamics and a heavier guitar sound than it's predecesor,and it is at the same time heavier, faster and more melodic. Lyrically, the record is inspired by the work of Brazilian horror director Coffin Joe, showing once more, Killjoy's passion for the horror genre. If you like Necrophagia or the other Killjoy bands (Wurdulak, Ravenous, etc..) you will eat this alive."
Brutal earthcrushing

"Amazing metal, much better quality then their earlier work. Really catchy riffs. My favorite track is probably Rue Morgue disciple or the sick room. If you like necrophagia, just get the album, you won't regret it. BUT WHY A 4 YOU ASK??? Well a common problem necrophagia has is that they will play an earthshattering verse or 2, then comes a breakdown that drags out for like 2 minutes and TOTALLY ruins the vibe of the song. Also kind of a short album. But trust me, its worth it"
Spine shivering madness

"After working with Phil Anselmo and his "Macabre Riffs" on Holacosto De La Morte. Killjoy found a whole new world of ghastly sounds to work with. I can sense a taste of 'Viking Crown' in here as well. An underground project with Phil A. on all instruments, and his g/f Opal on keyboards. Killjoy brought together all of these elements into this album and its a total masterpeice. Join the underground scene and see what you've been missing."
