Necrophagist - Intro + Crystal Mountain [Death cover] (Live 2002)

NECROPHAGIST 27.4.2002, Live in Nováky.

[@TheVirusOfHumanity]

Man. These high school talent shows are getting good.

[@StevenRice]

Back in 2000, my Death Metal band played a highschool Valentine's Day talent show/dance cause my other guitarist was a Senior in that high school (I was one year graduated at that point from the same school) and we opened up with "Stripped, Raped, and Strangled" (Which we always did). We got through most of the set before the school administration figured out the fake list of songs my guitarist gave them was fake and they tried cutting the school's PA - but they didn't realize we had our own PA system we brought for the show, then tried to accuse me of inciting a riot for the mosh pit that broke out. Ahh, memories.

[@ayberkzenger9321]

Tim Gonzales this song is easy compared to other death songs but yes necrophagist is more technical than Death, but Death is piooner of the technical death metal.

[@timgonzales2891]

@@ayberkzenger9321 death has an almost perfect catalog i was not detracting from them at all.

[@hazardeur]

i guess that stops once scavenger sneaks into the setlist. also, don't underestimate the skill to play death. Necro sure is more notes per second but is it really that much easier to play right? Necro is right on the grid all of the time whereas Death has bits that just take a master to play right in a live environment. For example the offgrid speeding up of the doublebass in some parts of flattening of emotions. It's not really that noticeable but since it's so free form it's a hell to play right. I have yet to see a drummer that does it really justice live. Not even Gene or the Obscura/ex Necro guy could do it. Christy did it and of course Reinert. Same goes for Scavenger and other songs. I would conclude by saying that it is probably easier to play most Death songs vs Necro songs on a superficial level but in a live setting I would be equally terrified if I wanted to play either of them right and groovy

[@timgonzales2891]

@@hazardeur Death's whole discography is insane. And necro is more clinical and death organic. At least to me. Basically i agree death had more "soul" for lack of a better word

[@hazardeur]

@@timgonzales2891 Yeah that sounds right. Maybe a bit more "metal" too. Necro is sometimes almost a bit too clean but that's part of their sound and makes them quite unique, at least at the time.

[@billcow3455]

Tucking your metal shirt into your tight jeans isn't really metal....Unless your Mohamad. Him and Chuck can do whatever. Jelly shoes, Moo Moo cowboy hat these guys are gods.

[@Melodeath00]

Or unless you played any kind of Extreme Metal in the 80s/early 90s...

[@billcow3455]

I don't recall Morbid Angel or Cannibal Corpse tucking their shirts in. Emperor no. Can't think of one, stupid.

[@Melodeath00]

Then your memory is failing you. Go watch some live footage from the late 80s of any Extreme Metal band. I mean, come on, the "Official Metal clothing" for the entire 80s consisted of white sneakers, tight jeans, TUCKED IN sleeveless/T-shirt and optionally a "battlejacket" (denimjacket with tons of band patches on it). The whole "BIG T-shirt outside of pants, and too big clothes in general" trend was something that came along with Grunge in the early 90s... I don't really care how ppl look on stage, but since you were the one who commented on it first, did you forget to take a look at the 2nd guitarist in this video? Dreads and rapper cloths? Early 00s clothing sucked in general, but Muhammed looks a lot more "Metal" here in this vid than the other guitarist.' Also, Emperor came way after the timeperiod we are discussing here, so not relevant...

I love the intro riff and a solo before they jumped into "Christal Mountain". The guitar player with braids did an amazing solo. I wonder what happened to him and this piece of music. Did they incorporated it into another song? It's not on any of the Necrophagist albums.

[@trve_ingvar]

Sergei the guitar player might have gone to Deadborn, they are a similar German band

[@nolovedrjones9668]

The song is by the fathers of death metal ‘Death’

[@bmssenjoyer]

@Cthulhu's Loyal Potato He's talking about the intro riff they led into crystal mountain with. It's not on the album, and to my knowledge, they (Death) have never played it live. I liked it a lot as well. You should probably research what you're speaking about before you make an ass of yourself like you just did, or at least make certain your reading comprehension isn't wildly subpar.

[@chaz_noize]

The guitarist who played the solo in the lil' intro piece is named Bjorn Vollmer. In addition to serving as a live guitarist for many years in Necro he also wrote/performed the 1st, 3rd, and 5th solos in the song 'Extreme Unction' on the first album. In recent years he's become quite the accomplished solo flamenco guitarist. He has albums with original material and also has his own channel on this site. Definitely worth checking out, he is an incredible musician.
