Average Customer Rating: 5.0 out of 5
1) If I had a dollar for every riff, drumbeat, arpeggio and musical section on this album... [Rating: 5 out of 5]
The first time I heard about Necrophagist was in a music theory class I took a while ago. A student made a reference to this band, and described them as being, "this insane metal band, that's one of [another student]'s favorite bands!". Well, that got me interested enough, and all I can say is...WOW!First off, if you're a musician and you're into metal music, this is ESSENTIAL. It doesn't matter if half the population never heard of this band, or if 99% of mainstream society will dig this or not. Necrophagist is an absolutely stunning band (well actually, Muhammed Suicmez is basically the sole performer on this album), but regardless, it is extremely technical.Between the death growls, blindingly fast arpeggios, crushing riffs and lightning-quick blast beats, this album delivers. Even within the first two minutes, the album's opener, "Foul Body Autopsy" shows you that Muhammed is one serious musician. And with such technical song titles like, "Intestinal Incubation", "Culinary Hyperversity" and "Fermented Offal Discharge" (a personal favorite song title of mine), you can almost guarantee before you even listen to this how amazing it will be. Fans of technical death metal are gonna dig this one. So, whether you use Limewire or go to the music store down the road, this is one for all extreme metal fans, and especially for all musicians! Thanks for the time, and peace.2) What is going on with shipping? [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Since I saw them play three years ago I have been mesmerized by Necrophagist. Suicmez is a composing genius who can make the most brutal and heavy riffs possible or drive you crazy with nigh impossible solos packed with sweeps and insanely melodic shredding (oximoron?). All in all this album is a must have for anyone who claims to listen to Tech Death. My only problem is that I have been not-so-patiently waiting for well over two months for it to be shipped, and I haven't found a place to report this. I downloaded the MP3 version about a month ago and love it, but I love album art and being able to physically hold the CD. I would suggest downloading the album personally, you get it quicker. Much quicker. BUY THIS ALBUM!3) Great Death Metal album [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Alright, probably one of the best death metal albums ever. At first listen, it may seem weird. It will grow on you. Very virtuosic playing from Mr. Suicmez. His solos and riffs are off the wall, and I love his vocals. Probably one of the best guitarists of our generation. Every track is a fun listen, but Fermented Offal Discharge is my personal favorite.4) I'll Make This Short... [Rating: 5 out of 5]
...as the other reviews basically took the words out of my mouth. This CD has some of the greatest solos mixed with a high classical influence. Drumming is superb, so is the bass. This, in my opinion, is Necrophagist's greatest work. Not that Epitaph is a bad album (I love that album too), but I have never heard album as complex, as mindblowing, and as magnificantly written as "Onset of Putrefaction". Buy it. Now.5) Great technical death metal. [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I was compeletely amazed by this debut album from Necrophagist, not only does it have blisteringly fast riffs but it all seems complex yet it still sounded extreme.I think that Muhammed Suicmez is a very underrated guitar player and is quite possibly a genius since he played all the instruments and produced this whole album on his own, he shows off his skills by playing some neo-classical like Steve Vai mixed with grindcore so you have some odd time signatures and tempos as well as Suicmez who starts playing some wild and over the top solos, a good example of this would be on the song Advanced corpse tumour and the beeping guitar noises on Mutilate the still born which sound a bit like a siren (I don't really know how to describe it since I'm not a musician or an expert) and Foul body autopsy just sounds crazy and unfu**ing believable, yes you will not believe your ears when you listen to this, Necrophagist is one of the most original death metal bands out there.The vocals are typical Death metal style grunting which you're not going to understand but the lyrics aren't that important its all medical terms and stuff that happens in a morgue and autopsy table gory stuff. I was really impressed with this release it almost rips and shreds like a fu**ing beast, make sure that you check out this album if you like heavy and technical death metal played with alot of skill.
