Necrodeath - 100% Hell

Improvement, Compared to Ton(e)s Of Hate - 87%

CHRISTI_NS_ANITY8, January 28th, 2008

Necrodeath of the 2006 are, in my opinion, improvement, comparing “100% Hell” album to “Ton(e)s Of Hate”. This new album is surely better in songwriting and much more violent. It doesn’t reach to level of violence and evil like in the albums until “Mater Of All Evil” but anyway it’s quite enjoyable.

Songs like “Forever Slaves” and “War Paint” are good examples of violent black/thrash for example, with Flegias' vocals always evil and screamed. There is a good alternation of up tempo parts to mid paced, evil riffs. The production is perfect and reminds me a bit the recent Destruction one. Even the riffs are thrashy. The use of some deep and evocative growls is a trademark for the group.

In my opinion the true hit here is “Master Of Morphine”, a truly good song that seems to come out from “Mater Of All Evil” with its occult touch during the arpeggios. When the electric guitars enter the difference from the other tracks is inevitable: this is simply the best song here. “The Wave” song is pure impact with some good mid paced moments in the central part.

“Theoretical And Artificial” song is the second best in this album: there are excellent, obscure and evil lead guitar lines mixed with the power of thrash to create a really gloomy/violent song. “Identity Crisis” reminds me a bit the atmosphere in “Fragments Of Insanity” album; it’s a mid paced one with some use of keys to create the atmosphere and some female, whispered vocals. Quite good one.

“Beautiful-Brutal World” is again total impact (excellent screamed refrain) while “Hyperbole” is an instrumental one, just to prepare use to the title track: 9 minutes of continue tempo changes, from distorted arpeggios to up tempo, passing through drums intermezzos and evil atmospheres. A complete song. Excellent. A very good return, not as good as “Mater Of All Evil” but very “Necrodeath” anyway. Good work.
