Search - Necrophagist :: Onset of Putrefaction

If I had a dollar for every riff, drumbeat, arpeggio and mus

"The first time I heard about Necrophagist was in a music theory class I took a while ago. A student made a reference to this band, and described them as being, "this insane metal band, that's one of [another student]'s favorite bands!". Well, that got me interested enough, and all I can say is...WOW!

First off, if you're a musician and you're into metal music, this is ESSENTIAL. It doesn't matter if half the population never heard of this band, or if 99% of mainstream society will dig this or not. Necrophagist is an absolutely stunning band (well actually, Muhammed Suicmez is basically the sole performer on this album), but regardless, it is extremely technical.

Between the death growls, blindingly fast arpeggios, crushing riffs and lightning-quick blast beats, this album delivers. Even within the first two minutes, the album's opener, "Foul Body Autopsy" shows you that Muhammed is one serious musician. And with such technical song titles like, "Intestinal Incubation", "Culinary Hyperversity" and "Fermented Offal Discharge" (a personal favorite song title of mine), you can almost guarantee before you even listen to this how amazing it will be. Fans of technical death metal are gonna dig this one. So, whether you use Limewire or go to the music store down the road, this is one for all extreme metal fans, and especially for all musicians! Thanks for the time, and peace."

What is going on with shipping?

"Since I saw them play three years ago I have been mesmerized by Necrophagist. Suicmez is a composing genius who can make the most brutal and heavy riffs possible or drive you crazy with nigh impossible solos packed with sweeps and insanely melodic shredding (oximoron?). All in all this album is a must have for anyone who claims to listen to Tech Death. My only problem is that I have been not-so-patiently waiting for well over two months for it to be shipped, and I haven't found a place to report this. I downloaded the MP3 version about a month ago and love it, but I love album art and being able to physically hold the CD. I would suggest downloading the album personally, you get it quicker. Much quicker. BUY THIS ALBUM!"

Muhahahaha

"Extremely brutal AND technical onslaught with clear references to primitively brutal 'Eaten back to life', for instance the 'Mutilated Stillborn' song. That being said, fans of the 90's death metal bands probably won't recognise this due to its jazzy prog style, however it retains the humour from bands like Deicide and Canibal Corpse. Expert musicianship and deranged, gore dripping growling makes up this masterpiece of insanely complicated riffs, blast beat drumming and changes of tempo that leaves the weirdest, atonal fusion jazz nothing to be heard."
