Retro Review: Necrophagist "Onset of Putrefaction & Epitaph" Review

Jammin' Jon and Necrotic Nick go over Necrophagist's only two studio releases "Onset of Putrefaction & Epitaph.

What I heard about Mohammed is that the touring really got to him. Pretty sure he works in a BMW factory in Bavaria.

[@fatkraken3140]

and he said he got the 3rd album already done and stored in a HDD somewhere in his house lol

[@JT_Grogan]

I would be completely fine if he just released another album and didn't tour

[@KevinTarrant-by3fi]

Just got done with both of them and this band kicks ass! 4 of 5 on both boys!🤘

[@Nadinetherescuehound]

Would have loved to see this band evolve. Loved both of their albums.

I saw these guys in 2007, in a very small club, It was with Origin and Misery Index... And before this show, we missed them on the tour with Bolt Thrower/Malevolent Creation/Nightrage in 2006... Necropaghist played first but we arrived late because we were lost on the road -_- (ps1: Bolt Thrower was insane, ps2 where is the last Malevolent Creation album review ;p?). Anyway, Epitath was a killer album, I use to jam a lot to Stabwound and Seven.

Really like "Onset...". Machine like and mechanical are good descriptions.

[@antitheziz717]

Man that sounds like show lineups from the early 2000s, I saw amazing shows that I didn't even know most of the bands were playing and saw by accident. Think nile/origin/hate eternal/arch enemy( not a fan but they were co headlining) when I really only came to watch Derek Roddy play.....and this was when informis infinitas inhumanitas first came out.....longstreth stole that show

[@fullauto86]

Epitaph is obe of the most brutal front to back albums ive ever heard. Stab wound and diminished to b are absolute classics.

[@fatkraken3140]

Mohamed sweepmez

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- Damn. I feel like I missed an opportunity to make that joke. lol.

[@herbiehancock4495]

It’s pronounced “su-ich-mes”, It’s Turkish, so the actual surname is “Suiçmez”.

[@ShelRaiser]

Great albums. Foul Body Autopsy is like the biggest punch in the face to start an album

[@Faustustopheles]

I just listened to the first album today and this is sad news. I'm obviously very late to the party. I was so impressed I thought this was a newer band...

[@GraveyardWarden]

You’re sounding very Chevy dune bear (are your drums acoustically recorded with no triggering/samples?) by saying “programmed, non human/no human element, processed” Tech death/metal in general has got only better with time. Everything is clean, drums are intelligible and listenable. Guitar and bass sounds great through a good non tubes head. 90s metal production sounds like chaos that’s hard to listen too. As a drummer/musician. That shit hurts my brain. Also necrophagist has never used a gravity blast, not trying to say got ya but.. Necrophagist is forever the tech death kings, never to be replicated. 5 stars all the way around.

[@mattw4461]

Epitaph rocks, never got into Putrefaction. Glad I got to see this band live before he retired.

[@mrdeathamore]

Mutilate the Stillborn is my second favorite Necro track ever is from Putrefaction (first one is still Ignominious and Pale, too good)

[@MrAaronbathory]

I bought Epitaph after reading rave reviews and honestly think it's the most overrated death metal album of the last 20 odd years. Way too polished and nice sounding.

[@JT_Grogan]

God forbid a death metal band actually has some decent production lol. To each his own man but to me this album is a masterpiece. It's super technical without being overly flashy or nonsensical like a lot of modern tech death. And yeah it's polished but if you think about it this kind of music would sound like muddy butt juice with a raw production.

[@MrAaronbathory]

@@JT_Grogan It would genuinely sound a lot better.

[@kriskaayne]

@@MrAaronbathoryell then you can make the album yourself. Just put it into an editing program and switch some EQ knobs and make it sound shit

[@MrAaronbathory]

@@kriskaayne It already does sound shit thats the problem

[@kriskaayne]

@@MrAaronbathory make up your mind

[@kendall3085]

Cat on meth lol

[@DragonFist9323]

Waiting for Static X review

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- I didn't pick up. To me it just screamed cash grab but I might check it out later. Those first two Static-X albums were killer in particular.
