NECROVEN - Primordial Subjugation (CD)

Dark, brutal, and malodorous, Necroven's death metal captured the hearts of many in the early to mid-'90s. Their previous demos, "Hidden Blasphemies" and "Perpetual Scorn," along with their debut full-length, "Worship of Humiliation" (released on Memento Mori), garnered them a dedicated following among underground enthusiasts. Now, they unleash their sophomore full-length album, another grimy and solid piece of dark art.

This 2016 album seethes with unmitigated fury, delivering earth-rumbling tunes that reek of malice and anger. Fans of Incantation, Morbid Angel, Immolation, Sadistic Intent, Goreaphobia, as well as more recent bands like Dead Congregation, Cruciamentum, and Grave Miasma, will find a new favorite in Necroven. Mastered by the prominent Dan Lowndes at Resonance Sound Studio (U.K.) and featuring stunning hand-painted cover art by the legendary Joe Petagno, "Primordial Subjugation" stands as a testament to pure death metal untainted by trends.
