7/10 CRUSHED FUCKING SKULLS
Here we have some seriously bestial black/death metal from Italy that borrows their influences from bands like Blasphemy, Black Witchery, and Teitanblood, but deliver their payload in a more musical fashion, with clear song structures and actual hooks, not just relentless pounding, although there is plenty of that! It's also quite heavy on the second wave black metal influence. The production is clean and powerful, with each instrument being audible, combining their forces into a devastating whole that's more akin to straight up death metal than black metal. There are also actual guitar solos here, and they're quite good, although they tend to be quite short. The drummer is particularly impressive, consistently delivering blast after blast, but also using graceful little fills and rolls to accent his work, making it less rigid than some bands playing gasmask metal. Vocally there is a trade-off between raspy high screams and low bestial growls, as its the standard for this style. Necromorbid stand out from the pack of war metal bands by virtue of their musical talent and compositional strength, and breathe a new fetid life into the genre with this effort. Definitely not your average chains and gasmasks band.
