The debut release from NECROPHAGIA is a brutal example of what happens
when you watch too many horror flicks (heh). But seriously though, Season of
the Dead is a killer. The music is brutal, heavy, and death-oriented. They
weren't lying when they said that this LP was the soundtrack to your worst
nightmare. This new stream of Zombie-Deathrash hits a new high with Ohio's
NECROPHAGIA. Listen to it on your late night excursions to the graveyard...
We did, and man did we do some weird things (let your imagination go with this
one and you'll guess about half of what we did...oo-ee-oo)...

Necrophagia is one of the oldest death metal band 'Season of the dead' their Cd was originally out ten years ago Red Stream re issues it in 98. As a matter of their importance, bands like emperor, Mayhem put Necrophagia among their most important influence. The first issue of this album was also in a CD format, it was probably the first death metal CD!As the label didn't want to sell this Cd after 89 & bcause the demand was still here 10 years after, Red Stream with the agreement of the band decides to re issue it again, remastered. This commemorates also the return in the front of the metal scene of the band.

Season of the dead : it seems that this albu m is a cult one. Through an horryfying cover, Necrophagia creates 11 tracks of death metal influenced by old Sepultura, Kreator & so on. it's very brutal & the sound & production is quite old but it sould have been good ten year ago. It will probably remains the kind of production on the 2d album of Sepultura : simple but brutal. Voices are quite far from death metal style. But as it was their beginning, Necrophagia develops a style that will be used by nowadays black metal band : harsh voice, sometimes loud but often clear. Tempos go from the ultra loud to speed ones, blending various surroundings, but always the darkest ones. 'Ancient Slumber' is cetainly the most surprising songs of this album . it starts with a short version of classic composer Mussorgsky's 'night on a bare mountain' which will be also played 4-5 years later by Mekong Delta. Necrophagia proves ten years later taht their death metal is still topical. It may be signs a 'back to the roots' period.
