Necrovation - Breed Deadness Blood
April 12 2008 at 09:57:15 PM
Like the undead hordes of countless songs throughout the years, Sweden’s Death Metal brood may rise and fall repeatedly, but never stop attacking, replacing their numbers of late with acts serving, not as mere substitutions, but rightful heirs of the deadly art.
They’re becoming meaner, stronger, regressing, advancing, ugly and hungry and with their debut album,
Breed Deadness Blood, Kristianstad’s Necrovation is now leading the charge. Fans have had a long time to wait while the band’s 2004 demo,
Ovations to Putrefaction, was reissued numerous times over the past few years, but the interim has paid off.
Breed Deadness Blood is metal for mutants, heshing through nine tracks defined as old-school, but self-sustaining in its execution of pummeling rhythm and dark, foreboding riffs. No one influence prevails and it would be a waste to pick these apart, piece by noticeable piece. It is the endurance of ideas, not nostalgia that permeates this revenant disc. That makes it even inspiring. The blood oozing, the graves opening, and necks cramping throughout the onslaught of welting drums, rancorous guitarwork and slobbering death grunts. “
CLUSHHH!”
