The second re-release of the second full-length studio album by cult Greek Black Metal band.
"Crossing The Fiery Path" was listenable, but had just too weak of a signal-to-noise ratio to be essential. If you must only own one Necromantia album, this is definitely the one!
"Scarlet Evil Witching Black" is a cult Black Metal album, and it's recommended for fans of Rotting Christ as well as fans of "To Mega Therion" and "Into The Pandemonium" albums of Celtic Frost!!
Re-issue with original sound recording and complete new layout.

The seventh full-length studio album by legendary German Thrash Metal band.
Old-school Thrash Metal with a modern production! Band got a hell of a lot more pedigree than a lot of people realize. After hitting the scene during the first wave of Teutonic Thrash Metal, alongside their more famous contemporaries Destruction and Kreator, these guys seemed to fade very quickly into near-total obscurity. It wasn’t for a lack of output, rather it was a lack of the luck. They’ve been nothing if not persistent though, because aside from a hiatus at the latter end of the 90s, Necronomicon have diligently plugged away at supplying a steady string of always respectable releases over the years. Amongst them, this 2012 effort ranks quite highly indeed.
What becomes quickly evident when listening to "Invictus" is how much more refined the new Necronomicon's approach is. This album certainly represents the zenith of the progression they have undergone over the years. Gone is the rough appeal, and in its place you'll find first-rate songwriting and a highly professional, up-to-date production style. What’s impressive is that in the process, they have managed to retain most of the manic energy that German Thrash Metal is so renowned for, even if it has become a little watered down by influences from the American Bay Area scene. The trade-off actually results in a much more interesting album. Stylistically speaking, this is straight-up Thrash Metal!!
"Invictus" is the album that manages to hold its own against some of the best Thrash Metal releases of the past years!!!
Box Set includes re-release of "Invictus" on CD with new cover artwork, cassette (released for the first time) and two patches.

The first compilation album by cult German Thrash Metal band.
Among the earliest pioneers of German Extreme Metal, Necronomicon presents their foundational works in this collection, which features two demos from 1985, "Total Rejection" and "Blind Destruction", and two tracks from the 5-way Split-LP "Break Out - German Metal Tracks No. 2" (1986).
The cover is a creation of the Brazilian artist Thomas Machado Pinheiro, who tried to get a feeling of those days in the past. And Steven Willems (editor of the fanzine Sleepless, writer for magazines as Rock Tribune and Voices from the Darkside, and author of the book “Streams of Ancient Wisdom” about the Dutch Death Metal scene) wrote the liner notes, based on an in-depth interview with founding member Freddy (guitars and vocals), placed at nice 12-page booklet.
Restored and remastered by Patrick W. Engel at Temple of Disharmony (noted for work with Vio-Lence, Sodom, Destruction), these recordings capture the raw intensity that marked Necronomicon’s legacy – aggressive Old-school Thrash Metal in the vein of Kreator, Destruction and Sodom!

The tenth full-length studio album by legendary German Thrash Metal band.
If you like Thrash Metal fuelled by aggression, devastatingly heavy, and played at a ferocious pace, then you’ve come to the right place. The band's previous album, "Unleashed Bastards", was a fiery ride of aggressive Thrash Metal – this time around, the band are an explosive blend of aggression and attitude. 
"The Final Chapter" is as good, as fast, as dark, and as heavy as anything they have ever done. The band got line-up changes again. Most notably Rik Charron, former drummer of legendary Exciter. He also brought his old buddy from Mind Assassin on bass, Glen Reed.
Necronomicon has always shifted easily between genres the heaviest of Classical Metal, bursts of Speed, lots of Thrash Metal, but old-school Thrash, when bands would have a few slow parts or acoustic parts scattered in the songs. 
"Unleashed bastards" was arguably Necronomicon's heaviest and most uncompromising album since their heavyweight, legendary debut album. Now, "The Final Chapter" marks a new chapter for the band. The overall sound is more international and massive. The songs on are hard-hitting, full of speed and power all in one. Again, the album carries the distinctive and unmistakable sound of Achim Köhler, who was responsible for the mixing and mastering. This album will tear the roof down with this sonic assault and its energy!
A breathtaking Thrash Metal storm, delivering a savage barrage of bone snapping, skull crushing, neck breaking!!

The ninth full-length studio album by legendary German Thrash Metal band.
Necronomicon regarded as one of the most exciting Thrash Metal bands to have emerged from Germany. The German style of Thrash Metal well known for its fierce brutality and ferocious attitude, and with their new album, Necronomicon deliver fifty-one minutes of stunning savagery… a savagery only Thrash masters Kreator can better.
"Unleashed Bastards" is a wild piece of work, delivering Thrash Metal that partly reminds of bands like Destruction, and combines an old-school vibe with a modern sound. A relentless, up-tempo Thrashing masterpiece from start to finish, the album is an excellent hybrid of the barbaric, ultra-fast, ultra-violent musical style of late 80s Thrash Metal, combined with the capabilities of modern-day production. With frontman Volker "Freddy" Fredrich's harsh blackened vocals, the driving rhythm section, thundering double bass, and screaming guitar riffs and leads, that incorporate some Neo-Classical elements, the band have developed a precise, and technical chemistry together as musicians that speaks for itself.
The pace, power and energy oozing from this album is simply stunning. "Unleashed Bastards" is an adrenaline pumping thrill ride, a ride that cracks on that any other on offer. "Unleashed Bastards" is an exhilarating album, jam packed with full on Thrash Metal of the most brutal nature you’re ever likely to hear. "Unleashed Bastards" is a well-crafted Thrash Metal album that has enough power to end up in many Metal collections!

The sixth full-length studio album by American Death Metal band.
Vocalist Frank "Killjoy" Pucci, known as the Godfather of Gore Metal, and his companions in Horror are delighting their dedicated and large fan base with the return to a more old school approach to their very own gut-wrenching, brain drilling style of Death Metal. Being ‘born’ back in 1983, Necrophagia is back in business after a 6-year absence. When band split in 1987 (despite their tremendous impact in the extreme Metal scene) popular demand and the persistence of Philip Anselmo (Down, ex- Pantera), who joined the band, convinced Killjoy to resurrect his band in the middle of the 1990s. Ever since, all Necrophagia releases scored huge successes with critics and fans alike.
This new album was released after a three-year delay, since it was supposed to be out during 2008, while having their loyal followers waiting patiently for this day to come.
"Deathtrip 69" features all their beloved elements such as gruesome film samples and ripping riffing, as well as guest appearances by Casey Chaos (Amen) and Maniac (Skitliv, ex- Mayhem). This album is full of gore, horror, macabre sensibility and evil melodies. Crushing drum work, atmospheric heavy riffs and Killjoy’s vocals make this new release one of the most interesting and solid albums of the year.
Be prepared - Necrophagia will get you!

The fourth full-length studio album by cult American Death Metal band.
The man known as Killjoy (R.I.P.) was perhaps one of the most prolific members of the Metal community as far as music projects go. Between The Ravenous, Wurdulak, and Necrophagia, you have three bands obsessed with sickening and Gore based imagery. Though musically, all three bands are different. So where does Necrophagia fit in? Well, on "The Divine Art Of Torture" the band is playing Death Metal, with slight touches of Black Metal here and there. However, by Death Metal standards, this isn’t the fastest or most brutal style, instead the band's sound can be compared to "Heartwork" era Carcass at times. So that same kind of mid-paced, thick riff sound is somewhat present; though with Necrophagia’s own interpretation of it.
Along with Killjoy, is almost a super group of sorts. Killjoy handles the vocals and with him on this album are Iscariah on bass (Wurdulak, ex- Immortal); Frediablo on guitars (Gorelord, Wurdulak); Fug on guitars (Soul Forsaken, Wurdulak); Titta Tani on drums (Daemonia); and the biggest surprise of the bunch: Mirai Kawashima on keys from Japan’s Avant-garde Metal masters, Sigh!
The music has its fast parts, but there are almost no blast beats to be found, so most of the music is based more on the horror atmosphere than speed and aggression. For some, this being a relief, because a lot of people are getting tired of Death Metal bands just playing fast for the sake of being fast. There are still plenty of good neck breaking moments with quality usage of double bass, though, and that classic quick start-stop bass pattern that Carcass used to perfection on "Necrotism" and "Heartwork" is present. The guitars are kind of fuzzy and distorted with a heavy tone.
The band is at their best when they focus on concise and eerie song structures. The apparent eerie atmosphere is due in part to the masterful keyboard work. It’s nothing overly technical, but it’s so simple and effective, that it’s almost brilliant. Forget the circus keys of some Symphonic Black Metal bands, because the keyboard sound varies from song to song and usually adds a very weird texture that accentuates the horror theme of the music. Everyone else does their job well, so it looks the band kept things simple on purpose.
There's quite a chunk of Punk or Hardcore influence, only rather than cultivate a Crust, Sludge or Doom centre, Necrophagia channels it directly into a raw, pummelling Death Metal. Riffs are meaty and atrocious, with a raw, Thrashy and Crunchy tone to the rhythm guitars that does get a bit Noisy in the recording. They do delve into some slower, Groovier, Doomy riffs at points, and there are also some really minimalist, bottom of the barrel sorts of Groove/Nu Metal riffs that they clog up some choruses with. Really, though, while a lot of the riffs can feel creatively bankrupt or flat-out predictable, they do suffice at least as a basis from which to launch the keyboards or other effects, not to mention they are angry, violent and abusive enough to compete with Killjoy's savage, tortured barking, forever the hallmark of this project. Unlike a lot of the faceless hordes of bands that fit snugly into some category, when you hear a Necrophagia tune in a radio line-up, you'll go to be pretty sure of who it is, and that's not a bad position to be in.
A horror guru like few others, Killjoy picks some interesting subjects here, like a tune about the "Parasite Eve" video game, or the "Flowers of Flesh and Blood" episode of the "Guinea Pig" torture-porn series. Not the sort of stuff you expect on your average horror-inspired Death Metal album, which will mine the same old slashers from the 80s, and that much is appreciated here. "The Divine Art Of Torture" is certainly one of the Necrophagia records with the most potential and cool concepts!

Eschewing the self-conscious amateurism and primitive sonics that many of their peers held dear, Necrophobic established a bold and vivid identity of their own, conjuring a densely melodic but endlessly wicked take on macabre Extreme Metal that countless lesser bands have since emulated.

First release on CD of the debut mini-album by the Russian Melodic Black Metal band.
Nefas Terra is a Russian black metal entity consisting of two members, Chad and Klem. "Life In Darkness" contains 6 intense and merciless songs filled with icy riffs and grim vocals as well as a cover of Satyricon's well-known "Mother North".
The title track is a furious affair with a lot of catchy melodies and atmosphere to it while "No Way Out" is slightly more symphonic and epic. The vocals alternate between screeching Black Metal vocals and deep Death Metal-like growls, which adds a bit of diversity to the whole thing. "Early Christianity" is pretty damn aggressive and yet quite varied with some crazy riffing here and there. The drums on the album are programmed, which is quite evident, but luckily they are well done and don`t sound flat or completely lifeless. "Vice" also good song, but "Suicide" is excellent song that contains some captivating and semi-Thrashy riffs as well as some rather melancholic parts - definitely the best song on the disc. "Poison" is pretty average, but the cover version of "Mother North" is pretty raw and necro, which is actually kind of cool in the sense that it is quite different from the original version. Very cool vocals here.
Overall, "Life In Darkness" is hardly what one would call original or innovative, but the songs are generally interesting and well-composed, and Nefas Terra possess a wicked and unholy charm that certain Black Metal bands from Russia simply have. The bottom line is that this is good stuff and should appeal to quite a few of you Black Metal fanatics out there!

Debut full-length album by Spanish Technical Melodic Death Metal band.
"Abyssal Throne" definitely delivers much of what is expected of a Death Metal album – with a few delightful twists.
Clearly drawing influence from many of the various sub-genres and offshoots of Death Metal, this record has something for anyone who has a warm place for that brutal sonic violence in their hearts. The guitar parts have the heavy sound of Modern Metal, while varying between the super palm-muted parts of the more brutal areas of the genre, to intricate lick-like riffs, to more melodic chord progressions – very well done. Add to that extremely well crafted solos and leads throughout (don't forget to carry the technical mastery), and you'll love their merciless guitar section.
Vocals vary as well throughout – covering most of the growls-scream spectrum – again, Melo-Death meets Brutal meets Old-school. The variation in pitch and style relieves a lot of the monotony inherent in a vocal style practically void of melody. Here's a great idea that keeps the listener on their toes is symphonic arrangements that only come for a very short time, once in a while; very nice and very interesting sonically.
An absolutely essential album, a conceptual work of majestic, Melodic, Modern, Technical Death Metal, which is accompanied by a soon to be released novel written by its own vocalist.
All in all, a very well made record, especially for a first release!
