Everything in this album is punishing! You know the kind of metal that tells you fucking do what I say! OBEY ME! That is what this release is about. Okay let’s start with the production, Necropsya released great albums before this, just with different production, well not bad after all, just bad when compared to this production. The whole sound is just clear here, yet aggressive, sharp and tight. The previous albums probably had a “nastier and Raw” production, but this is the sound of pure Peruvian hostility, the sound that i like. The drumming by Nicolás Cárdenas is just very vigorous, and precise, and sounds volatile with the riffs being played. Actually, the drums drew my attention. The vocals are to the death side of metal, and they’re punishing ; the favourite vocal style in thrash metal, to be honest. They are belligerent, retaining the speed of thrash metal vocals, yet adding a whole lot of brutality and pain in their delivery… and the solos, they have this character that identifies them yet they never take over; the solos are just another aspect of the album that complements it and the fucking tremolos are insane, and the ultimate highlight are the fucking riffs. Here’s quality and quantity, and with that sick, heavy, thrashy guitar tone it has, the riffs only sound more intriguing. These riffs will haunt your dreams, they just dominate. You want the riffs to be catchy? or headbanging ? or aggressive ? or what ? This is a real perfect combination of all. One also gets his share of spine-chills too, listen to that break when the solo of Venom kicks in, just amazing. Necropsya didn’t really change in this album concerning their approach to brutal thrash, just put out an even more perfected album.; different production, “clearer” and more violent, and some more awesome drumming without forgetting the riffs; all that in one punishing thrash metal album. Own this now!
