Necrodeath
formed
back in 1984 and influenced by Slayer, Possessed, Kreator, Celtic Frost
and Bathory, are about to release their sixth full length album
featuring a very special guest appearance from mighty Cronos (Venom),
the king of Black Metal.
This
is my first encounter with this Italian band so I can’t compare their
first 5 albums to this brand new release called “100% Hell”. Necrodeath
who are
confirmed to appear at this year’s Gods of Metal festival in
Milan
is pure Thrash Metal with a Black Metal edge. To me they sound like a
mix of Possessed,
Sodom
, Bathory, Destruction and and early Kreator.
My
expectations to this album wasn’t very high, but I was in for a
surprise, because I like it a lot. It is very easy to tell the numbers
apart because the riffs are awesome and ever-changing from fast to slow.
And
though each song stands out on its own, I can't help but point out the
excellent “Forever Slaves”, “War Paint” and “Beautiful-brutal
World” as the highlights of this album. But the rest of this album is
good, too. It’s an onslaught of Thrash riffs that contain hints of
melody and catchiness but at the same time
assault all of your senses that will leave you begging for more.
This
album comes with a very good production… and that’s it…
…No more words needed… get this album if you are into Thrash Metal,
because “100% Hell” is… 100
% PURE METAL!!!
