Mater of All Evil

After 10 years, here we have Necrodeath again!! The band split-up in 1990 after the very good album "Fragments Of Insanity" because of some problems with labels and loss of interest among the group's members.
Now they are back but with only two original members: Claudio (guitars) and Peso (drums). The new members are John (bass) and the great screamer Flegias ( former drummer of Opera IX ).

With this new masterpiece we go back to the group’s roots, to that masterpiece called “Into The Macabre”, because all the black/thrash atmosphere we can find in this album, comes directly from that black flame that started to burn in 1985.
Here we have less technical parts than in “Fragments Of Insanity” and more evil music, to create a big black monolith.

The new singer has a different style and he's a more screamed tonality than Ingo but anyway his voice is perfect for the pitch black atmosphere in this album. Talking about the work done by the two original members…well, nothing to say! Even Claudio’s riffs sound more original, with a great production. The drummer is always very fast, but extremely technical. Anyway, there are no grind parts, like in the debut.
This album is, anyway, total impact in songs like "Hate and Scorn", "The Creature" and "Serpent".
Sometimes, like in the past, the only melody is the one created by the guitars and we are not talking about happy melodies, but really obscure ones, to create a morbid, sick and gloomy sound.

Fast parts, with some slower and evil; screams alternated to growls and gloomy whispers from hell; evocative acoustic guitar parts like in "Fathers" song or in the great "At The Roots Of Evil"…that is Mater Of All Evil…oh, men! What a come back!

It contains also a re-recorded song from the legendary The Shining Pentagram demo, "Iconoclast".
Give them a chance, they deserve it.
