7/10 CRUSHED FUCKING SKULLS
It appears this band has a habit of releasing a swath of singles digitally before a release, and that seems like a good way to promote engagement, especially if the single is a different version of a song. Smart tactics. On to the music. Necronomicon Ex Mortis play death thrash with tight musicianship, and there's no slop at all. I feel like fans of the old Razorback roster, like Ghoul and Frightmare, would like them a lot with their focus on '70s and '80s horror films. The vocals are snarled in much the same way as Jeff Walker's vocals in Carcass, especially when compared to the Necroticism era. They use blastbeats judiciously and it really helps to make the music more intense at certain times, making certain of their riffs shine. The guitar playing is absolutely perfect, with complicated solos, intricate riffs, and impressive arrangements. Does all this translate to great music? Yes, for the most part. They do a fine job, and don't get lost in their ability to jam. Solid horrific death thrash here, and worth the time and effort to go find.
