NECROCULT - same - SNAKEBITE
Necrocult will be a new name to many of the readers, yet the band was formed as early as 1994 using the name Crucifix. The band's debut only features five songs, but with a total duration of 35 minutes this can be considered a full-length debut album.
A classy intro quickly leads into a harsh and blindingly fast death metal. The speed rarely lets up, except for a short while on Portal Of Oblivion. This is mostly raw like Darkthrone or early Immortal with added primitive parts and deep growls reminiscent of Blasphereion. Elsewhere the vocals are screaming a la Immortal. They are well done and wild. The problem area is the drums which have an odd hammering sound. It might get a little while to get used to them. Hang in there though for Necrocult is an ideal band for fans of fast black/death. - Ali "The Metallian"
