Mater of All Evil

Necrodeath was a cult band in 80's extreme metal scene. They proposed a thrash/death with a lot of influences by Slayer. Then they splitted-up.
During the 90's a large number of bands, such as Cannibal Corpse, Slayer, Children of Bodom, and so on, described Necrodeath as a great band in the europe scene and one of their favourite.
Conforted by this affermations, Necrodeath reformed in 2000, with a new bass player and a new vocalist: John and Flegias (ex-drummer of Opera IX and now also drummer of Cadaveria) respectivelly.
Flegias bringed the band a massive dose of black influences (cadaveria and opera IX are in fact black bands), and nowadays the band plays a good mix of Black/thrash and death metal.
Also live the band gives a great performance, and showes a great black and malefic attitude, helped in this by their thin and restless frontman.

Highlights - We start with THE CREATURE (great black/thrash metal assault), then we continue with FLAME OF MALIGNANCE (one of my favourites, terrific in the refrain : flame of malignance ...) followed by BLACK SOUL ( with a good melodic opening). Then ICONOCLAST, (surelly my favoured, perfect). A mention also for EXPERIMENT IN TERROR, and, AT THE ROOTS OF EVIL.

In the complex a great work, and if you don't want to buy this, at least give it a hearing; It will conquer you.
