NECROPHAGIST EPITAPH FULL ALBUM FREE DOWNLOAD

That's right, I can't bring myself to call this death metal. As I said, they're not death metal either, but instead some form of high speed tech metal of some indiscernible style. The rhythm section was rounded out by an impressive trio of players, not the least among them guitarist Christian Muenzner and drummer Hannes Grossman, who would both also go on to impress in their other band Obscura which I'll be covering more of after this one. Well, what I typed above was pretty harsh, as there are a few songs that are pretty awesome. It becomes extremely monotonous by the end of the second song. It seems like all Muhammad wants to do is show off how good he is at guitar. The drummer tries to wank a little and make thing interesting, but he is in turn punished with being mixed half as loud as any drum track should ever be, with the dullest and flattest sounding kit ever created.

The combination of too quiet a drum sound, too loud a lead focus, and an underutilized bass and rhythm guitar center make for an album where the new bits of experimentation distance themselves from the originality that Necrophagist once harnessed. This is technical death metal to the bone. An occasional bridge or interlude section such as the Cynic-influenced jazz break at the end of "Only Ash Remains" will stick out in the memory actually, this song can be seen as a standout in that the sheer amount of epiatph interchanges between bass and guitar lines outdoes the rest of the albumbut largely this sails through the system in about the same time as a helping of pork fried rice would.

Honestly, I've heard keyboardists with a more intense tone.

My first obvious instrumental comparison would be this guy's [Muhammed's] guitar work to Magnus Lindbloom's. TjlerOctober 9th, The only way to tell if you will enjoy this or not is to hear it for yourself.

Sami also plays in the band Codeon. Most of the time I find myself listening to thirty minutes of mindless sweep tapping fudscullery as epltaph to actual written songs. If there is anything, however, that certianly deserves attention, it is perhaps the defining part of this album; Steffan Fimmers and his complex yet atmospheric bass lines. Then as soon epitpah I thought things could not get any better — I was quickly mistaken because all of a sudden the most tight, clean, breath-taking guitar harmony came into play.

It's the kind of metal record that reminds you that these brutal dudes are in fact musicians. With different singing vocal they could be easily put to power metal category.

I like very much that bass is actually equal with guitars and not hiding behind the guitar sound like in many cases of epjtaph and brutal music. Not only that, but some of them are just plain awesome in my opinion for example; "One wishes existence to be of fulfillment, but leaves bend to the will of winds blowing", from the title track.

So here it is. I mean sure, you could put a track to a title after a couple of listens to the whole album, but you should be able to tell the difference between each song's characteristics instantly, and each song should have a similar structure, but a different personality.

Albim lot of the riffs and notes are melodic but are sharp necrophagjst closed. This is what hurts Epitaph the most; it's a wank fest, but only a wank fest by one member.

In fact, the most enjoyable times are where he just gives up all ideas of being a band and plays solos, because they are downright impressive when they don't sound exactly the same; unfortunately a heap of them do.

Necrophagist

Every musician is in top form for this release. An out of place then arrived on the stage, shaking the small venue as a mass of devoted metalheads sheared the sinews in their necks and scrambled around a chaotic circle pit, a tribal dance of appreciation for the noise of a band that created a shrill and hollow soundscape compared to its more percussive tour-mates.

I'm here to say that that is outright wrong. They're like some kind of prog metal or something, basically, the notes don't run together as a real riffs, the tone is so shrill that every note sounds independent, not just atonal, but completely independent, resulting in the riffs having zero punch or memorability.

Granted, five years prior the drumming was not organic but that does not excuse the unnerving lack of prominence given to Hannes Grossmann, a human offering more personality than a machine, in an album where the main draw is that the band is able to operate as a unit rather than a basic bedroom band.

I picked this album up by accident, I didn't really want it, but eoitaph brought it to me, proving to me that I am destined to albhm an irritating life. Death release should be.

Something is missing though, there is one reason why I couldn't rate this CD better. Symbiotic In Theory On top of this, there's just no sense of As a whole, the album would best be described as a big budget action movie, packed full of amazing special effects and explosions, but in terms of substance there is little to be found.

These guys could have pulled off a blast-beating, heavier Dream Theater deal, or maybe a harsh-vocalised Psycroptic. It is heavy, fast, melodic and it's fun for the whole family!

The drumming is sadly quite generic and is acceptable, it helps support the guitar interplay but it doesn't have many moments of brilliance, the drums are unrelenting and unforgiving. Then while the guitar is furiously raping the fret board - a bass solo launches and is soloing at jaw-dropping speeds. Then in comes the progressive side of Necrophagist again, this is a side which we did not see on 'Onset of Putrefaction' very much.

There are also no moments in which you are able to sit back and take a breather, or enjoy a slow and steady riff and head bang, hence this is technical brutal death metal.
