Definitive 2-CD edition by the American NECROPHAGIA, one of the pioneering and most influential bands in the most primitive, dark and macabre forms of Death Metal. “Anthology of Primitive Horror” gathers all demos recorded between 1984 and 1986, prior to the release of their legendary debut album “Season of the Dead”, documenting the formative years of a band that helped shape the earliest days of the Death Metal underground.
Throughout its two discs, listeners can follow the evolution of a band that developed a unique style far ahead of its time, naturally blending elements of Horror Death Metal, Thrash Metal and primitive Black Metal with a truly distinctive identity. The set includes:
*** CD-2 [Rehearsal demos - 17 temas] ***
- "Rise from the Crypt" (Demo Nov. ‘84)
- "Death is Fun" (Demo May. ‘84)
- "The Hallow's Evil Rehearsal" (31.10.85)
This edition features the best sound ever recovered from these recordings and includes scans of all original covers, photographs, flyers, concert posters, fanzine clippings and extensive liner notes by Maxime Taccardi, Gunther Cras, Wannes Gubbels (PENTACLE) and John McEntee (INCANTATION), making it the definitive collection of NECROPHAGIA's early years and an essential item for any fan of old-school Death Metal in its purest and most authentic form.
Recommended for fans of DEATH, POSSESSED, AUTOPSY, MANTAS and MASSACRE.
