CD Reviews

Long winded in places--but severely crushing in others.
Down with Death Metal | Cape Girardeau, MO | 02/01/2006
(3 out of 5 stars)

"Having gotten into Necrophagia with their last release, "The Divine Art of Torture", I was excited to get this one. I liked their last one a lot, and this one is a little bit of a step up in my opinion. Of the 10 tracks, 2 are throwaway instrumentals. The other 8 are all 5 minutes or longer, which is good in some cases and not in others. Some songs drag on too long, with extended breaks between the verses, but I'll be damned if those verses aren't crushing, dirty, and yet CATCHY at the same time. The highlights in my opinion are UNEARTHED and HARVEST RITUAL. I would have given this 4 stars; there's just too much filler on some of the songs, but it's still a very enjoyable album and I recommend this to any Necrophagia or death/gore metal fan."
A new direction for the godfathers of gore

"First off, if you love death/gore/grind/horror/whatever you wanna call necrophagia's genre..buy this album, you will not be dissapointed. for those of you who like some of necrophagia's material, this is sort of a somewhat new direction for the band, I say somewhat because I believe the songs have more range to them then those of the past. Divine art of torture had pretty much a catchy tune on each song, these songs like to diversify a little more and add much more range but still keep that 'it' that necrophagia does so well and we all love. This album also uses many more synths to add a horror effect (which personally i love, some may not). Songs such as akumu show what necrophagia are capable of (some may say its a filler but its one of my favorite tracks because it is so different) and if you absolutely love horror, buy this album for 'return to texas' alone because of Bill "chop top, Otis P Driftwood"'s intro on it."
Death metal masterpiece

"I don't know about the applesauce dude above, but we musn't make fun of the retarted. Anyway on to the review. This necrophagia cd rocks from beginning to end. I have been listening to a lot of black/death metal lately, and these dudes are american, and let me tell you--the Scandinavians don't have a patent on extreme metal. A very varied cd, with death metal, mixed with dare I say-- kind of a progressive bent to it. I love progressive so this is all right with me. Get this cd if you love metal; you won't be disappointed."
