“Calix. Utero. Babalon”
(Funeral Industries)
NECROMASS sounds like a Greek black/death metal act in the old school of Rotting Christ or Necromantia. This lot are Italian and apparently much revered by the underground. Can’t say that I remember this lot from the past but that could just be down to my complete lack of time past recollection. I don’t know if there is such a thing as an Italian black metal sound but this lot sound very much Italian to me. If you like your black metal a bit chaotic and not as thick as Marduk or Dark Funeral or think that Darkthrone are too punkish then this might be for you. I get a very early Necrodeath feel from this. It is in that school you’ll find reference points to describe this release. Perhaps not my first choice of black metal but I still find enough qualities in it to actually like what I hear. Anders Ekdahl
