Search - Necrodeath :: 100% Hell

(3 out of 5 stars)

"After their essential `Greatest Hits' compilation from last year, Necrodeath are ready to put themselves in the map with 100% Hell, an album that's representative of the title for many obvious reasons. The band's brand of thrash metal remains intact, but they play it with a modern approach. The old-school spirit is still there, combined with groovy parts and short, precise songs. Commanding, classic Slayer-esque portions inject the songs with deadly fury, while the vocals are suitable for nature of the music. Flegias' voice sounds identical to Shagrath of Dimmu Borgir, giving it a blackened feeling to the material. Excellent effort by these Italian thrashers. 3.5/5"

Yet another excellent Black Metal entry for 06!

"2006 will probably go down in Infamy as "the-year-Black-Metal-became-accessible"! This year we've seen the release of incredible CDs by Satyricon, Cradel of Filth, I, Dissection (RIP Jon), Carpathian Forrest and now Necrodeath. Rather than the usual loud/fast/unlistenible drums n guitars that go nowhere these CDs have a broader appeal that make them not only accessible but even entertaining to those who don't care much for this sub genre. Necrodeath's "100% Hell" is loud n fast but shows a creativity that 90% of Black Metal bands lack- especially with the Iommi-esque riffs. Here's hoping for more listenible Blacl Metal in 07!
