NECROMORBID are back with their second album of savage War Metal! Out now via Caligari Records and Iron Tyrant Records.
Militant drums and eerie synths set the battle-hardened mood for the onslaught ahead with horrific gurgling and alarms building to the start of the album. Ripping in with barbaric riffs and hammering drums, the grinding bestial assault wastes no time in driving out a forceful spew of aggressive, demonic extremity. Bellowing vocals complete the raw and hellish attack brilliantly, conjuring the unholy sounds of War Metal in a frightfully intense manner.
Convulsing with hatred, this hammer of aggressive Black-Death monstrosities is certainly a tormenting one with all of the primal nature one would hope for intact as the instrumental and vocal sections contort with heinously punitive Heavy Metal warfare. There is no doubting that this is some killer material with extremely tight musicianship that fires a vitriolic blend of riffs and blasts forth with unrelenting disdain. Throughout we see a vicious brutality that is utterly magnificent.
There is a surprisingly catchy note to this release primarily coming from the stomping rhythmic breaks that definitely concoct a headbanger friendly stampede before driving out more fast-paced angel-slaying warfare. Standing at around half an hour, this release neither feels rushed nor prolonged for the sake of it, Necromorbid just come in, destroy everything with their obliterating tracks and leave, the way this kind of music should be. Nothing here taints the ritualistic sacrilege of War Metal, these guys do a wonderful job making sure of that.
A storming cacophony of all things unholy, this second album is a riveting slab of Extreme Metal that delivers a blasphemously brilliant bout of insanely hard-hitting material. Without a second of obnoxious progressiveness, this is simple and stripped back War Metal that roars with the bestial aggression of the genres classics. Definitely one to blast through if you dig Morbosidad, Black Witchery, Revenge, Diocletian, Blasphemy and the like. -8/10
