CADAVRUL - Necrotic Savagery review


 

CADAVRUL - Necrotic Savagery 

Loud Rage Music


Obviously anyone into Extreme Metal knows that the great nation of Romania has a Black Metal scene worth it's weight in postage fees for vinyl and CDs. But for me I think their Death Metal scene gets overlooked a bit. I'm always looking for that cool as fuck Death Metal act from Romania who kick fuckin ass. 


Well people here we have one. CADAVRUL, which means "corpse" in Romanian, started out back in 2005. They put out a demo in 2006 and finally released a full length in 2013 titled Enter the Morgue which was a self release. So now all of these years later we have a new full length release which sound-wise could've came out in 1992. 


I'm just saying the style is completely Old School Death Metal which for anyone who reads this blog (and frankly who doesn't) knows that's the DM style I'm into for the most part. And in all honesty I don't give a fuck what year it is or where you're from. If it sounds good then it's a winner in my book. So yeah CADAVRUL's Necrotic Savagery is a winner for many reasons. 


First off sound-wise this album comes off closer to early US Death Metal than the Eastern European variety. The rhythm section pretty much nails it on every song without jumping out. The riffs are dark, dirty and savage. Plus you've got a vocalist who comes across as a bear woken up too early from hibernation and he's pissed. The guitar soloing is minimal but there's some cool melodic runs which are perfect. 


All in all it's been a while there for this Romanian DM act but hey their return is worth it. This is a perfect DM album, period end of story. So get it!
