Necropsy - Never to Be Forgotten - Ep (1992)

1. Never to Be Forgotten

2. Dark Fantasies

Origin - Finland

Style - Death Metal

" 7" on Seraphic Decay "

" In an era when Finnish death metal was a force of nature, punishing everything in its path, Necropsy from Lahti, Finland, was doomed to obscurity as many of their peers, the likes of Mordicus, Convulse, Funebre and Abhorrence. In five years (1989-1993) they created 7 demo tapes and appeared on one 7″EP and a split LP with Demigod on the infamous Seraphic Decay label "

" Thrashing and grinding, organic and brutalous death metal of this kind would freshen up the scene of today immensely and thus I welcome the the fact that Necropsy is staging a comeback in true old school spirit to show the young Death Metal hordes who still holds the true spirit of unholy death "

One of My Personal Top 50 7" from the Golden Age !

Back In Black !......Ha...Whatever !

Its Here....

" These guys wanted to create a concept album based on H.P. Lovecrafts Macabre Tales and other ghost stories all put to the Brutal Death Metal from the early 90s "

" I personally could do without all of the intros/Movie bits....It gets old after the first track....But onto the music: Cool ass Death Metal of the old style with the traditional riffing of Rogga and the legendary Growl of Mr.Lee all wrapped in a beefy production "

Concept albums have never been my cup of tea..My attention span just doesnt allow it....Look A Concept in a movie? Sure....Music?..Nah..I just want to listen to cool old Death Metal and not really care what the lyrics are about....But thats just me !

Go Ahead!......Get It!

Origin - Finland

Style - Melodic Doom/Death Metal

" 4th full length from Finlands Swallow The Sun "

" STS is still improving on there style with every record...Even tho I personally liked the debut the best...None the less...The effort they have put into writing and crafting a unique album shines through all over the place. I think this record is more aggressive than the past albums but still has the melancholy parts and that hopeless feeling that their past Lps have achieved "

" Mikko Kotamaki uses several vocal techniques to his advantage...Black Metal shriek,Soft almost spoken clean voice and the monstrous growls(My Fave)...Giving each track its own character..Evolving along with the instruments according to the emotion. But its those Melody's that keep fans coming back...The eerie atmosphere and the oncoming destruction of the aggressive parts that intertwine this record "

This is a great record...And I look forward to STS touring the planet...And you should too !

Hopeless Cries !......From Beyond !

" Feral are a quintet from (Norsjö/Västerbotten) Sweden...That play a bruising,Grooving brand of Death Metal..Not unlike Entombed,Furbowl etc "

One cannot listen to ' Behead the Crucifix' and not bang away...Im happy their are some bands still playing this style to offset all the straight forward Death Metal out there "
