NECROSPEHRE - REVIVED - DIEHARD
Formerly Warhead and Cenotaph, Italy's Necrosphere is a band reborn after several off years. Even further down the brutality alley than their Cenotaph days, the largely static line-up lays claim to eleven tracks of Vader-meets-Malevolent Creation death metal fraught with speed and anger. The vocals are, but of course, gargled and follow the path laid by the aforementioned acts. Then again the singing on Antropophagus is more or less Incantation-styled. The drums are there too blasting and rolling intermittently. Not bad, but one could certainly do without yet another (did I mention yet another?) cover. Does the world need yet another Slayer song redone? The band, undeterred, do promise to release more cover versions in the future. Why? Presumably because lesbians have short hair, that's why.
