NECROMANIAC - Morbid Metal Demo Tape 2015

MORBID METAL TO THE DEATH!!!


got this tape some time ago but didn’t have the time to give it a proper listen. Yes, the band`d sent me the link to the online version of their demo, but I am not too keen on this kind of stuff, really. I finally got the hard copy, but, well, I had so much stuff for review as well as gigs I had to attend at the time that I put the tape on the pile for later use, so to say. So, today the right time has come to give it a spin. The tape itself looks cool, old-school all right. Yes, I put this cassette into my jolly, almost 40-year-old JVC KDA7 to find out that their debut recording is this unique band`s only release to date. This demo has been around for three years now and I was really lucky I happened to stumble across it. The band themselves hail from London and formed in 2011. Their music is riveting death/thrash, devilish to the bone and one can easily sense some early PROTECTOR or SADISTIC INTENT influences here and there. Jaw-dropping for sure, I love this kind of stuff, I really do. Now I understand why this demo is out on tape not cd for instance. That’s the proper medium for stuff like this. I can only imagine how the vinyl version would sound like! Amazing! Morbid Metal features five tracks enchanted in 18 minutes. Into the Darkest of Realms comes first; an instrumental track providing listeners with a highly condensed dose of thrilling darkness. The main riff, heavy as fuck brings up beastly lusts…Cosmic Onslaught is next, catchy as hell and there is no time to take a deeper breath, I tell you. NECROMANIAC exterminates everyone and everything. The guitar sound is similar to PROTECTOR`s Misanthropy MLP, by the way. Razor sharp, deadly, fucking awesome! Slower parts are distinguishably atmospheric; these blend with march-like tempos – really catchy, I must say! Armies of Concrete Rot is next, runs for 5 minutes and is a killer track, full of energy with totally paralyzing vocals of Thanatophilia R.G.. Yes, this guy`s a real destroyer. He handles the vocals stunningly well. Another murderer is Underneath the Crucifix. Intense, thrashy and aggressive riffs – this tune kicks ass! Very subtle keyboard background is minimal and enhances the overall atmosphere very well. Cursed by the Revenant is last and this cut is awesome too. Yeah, I get to tell you guys, I can’t remember the last time I was so devastated by music. So, don’t be surprised to stumble across the NECROMANIAC interview in this OMMM issue. It is true, they`ve released only one demo but hell, we`ll hear more about them in the future, that’s for sure. If you haven’t managed to get this tape - try and get in touch with the band themselves. They might have some spare copies for sale: https://necromaniac.bandcamp.com/ band c/o ore-mail:  Adres poczty elektronicznej jest chroniony przed robotami spamującymi.
