It’s brutal and relentless, it’s NECRORIPPER, a Chilean force with a bunch of demos, an EP and a split EP behind, now ready to slay heathens with their first full length album, with some of the already released tracks and the tracks ‘Necrometal’, all re-recorded for this release. There have always been a good handful of bands from the South American scene that have rocked my world, where especially the Brazilian maniacs in SARCOFAGO and HOLOCAUSTO have kept a tight grip in me, with their chaotic outlashes of aural horror. NECRORIPPER possess the chaos and aural horror the mentioned bands carry, a bit more to the Death / Thrash side than Black / Thrash, even though darkness does shine upon "Necrometal". When NECRORIPPER really hits it off they match some of SARCOFAGO’s finest moments from "INRI" and "The Laws Of Scourge" and that ain’t bad. Now you should know in what direction you’ll find NECRORIPPER. Very aggressive riffing on top of some hellish beating of the drums, chaotic as fuck song structures, without them flowing totally into a mud and a reverb-monster of a puke that’ll make small girls weep. Very nice to hear some strong and worked through songs that work and make my head bang. There isn’t much on this album that hasn’t been done before, though there are still something fresh and asskicking about this release, energetic and merciless as fuck, a great blast of something that seems and smells like the past. This is blackened Death / Thrash as they only can be make it in South America, so damn frantic and insane! www.facebook.com/EvilConfrontationrecords, https://sites.google.com/site/evilconfrontation/home
