NECROCHAOS - Crawling Through Cadavers EP review

NECROCHAOS - Crawling Through Cadavers EP

Gods of War Productions





This ain't your mother's German death metal. NECROCHAOS is a one man diabolical act. The one man being multi-instrumentalist Eugen Kohl. This guy has been behind a slew of one man projects over the recent years including CRYPT WITCH, DEATH CARRIER and DONARHALL to name a few.


This originally was a three song demo from 2019. But Gods of War Productions latched onto it and attached two more cuts to make it a five song release. To me that's an EP but hey you can argue amongst yourselves about that.


Musically this sits in that modern well previously done by HOODED MENACE and PORTAL. We're talking cavernous bestial vocals maybe recorded somewhere in the black forest or inside the turret of an old Panzer tank. I'm just guessing. You've got some exceptionally aggressive riffs that push the fast and doom cycles.


In the end it's good. I'm surprised that there was no searing leads to slice through the death doom. As an EP it's decent. If this went on as a full length I'd be bored after a while. I mean this style of death doom has been so overplayed in recent years.


And sure old school Swede Death has been over done as well. But at least that has some melody. This is basically I hate you and I hope you find yourself alone in a cave where the beasts that dwell there will eat you alive.

SCULPTED HORROR - Festering Death demo review

SCULPTED HORROR - Festering Death demo

Redefining Darkness Records



Yes a death metal demo oh now the nostalgia is really kicking in. I say that since this really kicks fuckin ass but it's the story behind this release which will really knock you over. SCULPTED HORROR is a one man DM act.


The one man is Tim Rowland who hails from Athens, Georgia. I'll give you a minute to pick yourself off the floor from that revelation. Yes Athens, Georgia the home of hipster sludge stuff for a decade and thankfully is dead. What you have here are four cuts of pure early GRAVE worship. You have the guttural vocals, distorted riffs via the boss pedal and some raging to slow burning cuts.  Honestly I like this better than GRAVE's last full length.
