Necromanicide (Neh-Kro-Man-Ee-Syde) Death to Necromancy.
I love good old Death Metal don't you? Well if you do then you need to check into Necromanicide. This band fully embraces the genre with every aspect. From the killer name to the fully black album, to the deep heavy blast beats that emanate from the music, and pound your skull. yet they are not the unexperimental type of band either. Now sir, this band plays death metal, and then jumps around kicks out a great thrash tune, only to follow that up with a song that can only be described as Grindcore!
The album is a full nine songs long, and never lets up from the attack at all. Hate is another common theme on this album in a few of the songs, but it is not the only issue focused on here.
Musically I like this album a lot with the flip flop from styles and the quality guitar work offered by Andre and Rick. The low end rhythm is maintained by Stephan on bass and Jeret on drums. Vocals as mentioned above switch styles with the music, and are handled by both Adrian (who also helps out on bass) and Andre.
As you can see the cover art is awesome and very professional looking which is always a plus.
Other coverage for this album
HM Magazine #73Reviewed by Willow DeLangeThe first thing I noticed about this CD is the great artwork. When I started listening it took me by surprise: it's metal! And although it's not really my thing, it's quality stuff. There's a variety of styles on it that ranks from the old school hardcore The Crucified excelled in, to the speedmetal of Deliverance to growly deathmetal.The Phantom Tollbooth 1998Reviewed by Chris King / Josh SpencerThis is really a difficult album to review, or even to listen to. Variety dominates every aspect, whether it's the music, vocals, or quality of songwriting. Don't get the wrong idea. The members of Necromanicide are definitely skilled musicians with the talent to write good songs, but a more focused direction would be to their benefit. Hate Regime borders on being a metal compilation CD...by one…Dead Zine 1998Reviewed by HadeSlayeRThe title track "Hate Regime" opens with fast and furious drums, REALLY heavy guitars and heavily distorted death growls. I'm impressed with the brutality on this track... REALLY heavy stuff!!! It got me headbanging as I'm writing this review. "Mindwarped" another extremely brutal and fast track. I'm very surprised by this bands energy. This is a very tight song with really crunching guitar…Dead Zine 1998Reviewed by FetusWelp, here's another band that chooses to play about 10 music genres (thrash,power,death,doom,+). I'm with this whole concept when they all are done well (DEUTERONOMIUM for example), but this LP has some serious lack. I do admit some of the death/doom songs present decent guttural flow, but the music remains simple. Unwanted Killer has an IRON MAIDEN style chorus which include the ever so lame…Dead Zine 1998Reviewed by FletchI hate to say it but I expected a little more out of this one. I had heard good things and I had read good things but when I got this cd I was not able to enjoy it. To be honest, it almost sounds like it's making fun of death metal at times. The vocals are not always the same but hardly ever good. The music is not bad, but again, hardly ever good. Not to be the bearer of bad news, but I would…Similar sounding releases
