Terra Necrosis
(Konqueror) - 80/100
When a copy of Nominon?s compilation disc Remnants Of A Diabolical History arrived at Metallian Towers
earlier this year there was nothing to do but criticize the nature of that album. Terra Necrosis is another
matter. Being a proper release, with a professional sound, packaging and line-up the disc is the perfect
Swedeath release and one that shows there is a lot of life left in death from Sweden. The old and genuine
sound of the early bands of the style rears its head once again in unabashed, undiluted, and uncompromised form.
Nominon is not afraid of slowing down when needed, and indeed does on the song Bane Appetite or parts of
Release In Death, but most of the material is fast to super fast in addition to being dense, distorted and
superbly heavy. The vocals are just right, the band knows how to solo the left hand path way and when audible the bass
sound is like barbed wire flying in the air. Adding to the heaviness is the band?s use of the old Swedish trick of
linking tracks for one non-stop dosage of barbarism. Nominon?s Terra Necrosis is fertile ground for fans of Left
Hand Path, Like An Ever Flowing Stream, Into The Grave and Vomitory. This is to Soilwork what a hearty and nutritious
meal is to McDonald's.
