talented, but talk about the most un-raw, overproduced sound i ever heard. move over dimmu borgir. i hope they dont consider this black metal.....they guitars sound like some nintendo video game music. vocals aint bad.

Only heard a few songs. Not really interested.

necrophagist are technical death metal. They are good at what they do. I don't think they should be compared to dimmu borgir

raw sucks. i enjoy being able to hear everything that's going on.

Tom you must be a huge Von fan!

I'm not too into bands that strive to have a shitty sound, but I also am not too into super polished Bob Rock shit either. Black metal has had this underlying trend of shit production that has turned into a fad as of late.

i think their sound is gay, thats all, way to clean

But it's not all huge and majestic like Dimmu. It's like a really well done 8 track recording.

EXACTLY. With technical DM, you should be able to hear the technique, not raw muddiness.

Necrophagist is one of the most innovative and amazing DM bands today, advancing the boundaries of what DM, and metal in general, can be.

I think Necrophagist and similar talented technical bands (Spawn of Possession, Martyr, Meshuggah to name a few) are true EXTREME metal bands. They are pushing music to the extremes of technicality, speed, recording quality, etc.

marduks "panzer division" album is the template for what black metal should should like, unchallenged.

yes Spawn of Possession are awesome

but iy doesnt even sound like guitars too me....it sounds computerized

I like sweep arpeggios

I see what you're saying, but its still a guitar being played, it's just a guitar with really clear, pristine tone and played by an amzing guitar player.

Dude, thats pretty good. Did you write there bio?

No, but if I did I'd feel cooler...

*cough*ENGL*cough*

pristine is not a metal adjective

haha you could "pristine" in a DM song though. Like "she was so pristine, and then I peeled her skin off" or some bs like that.

wow, you're a wicked fag. go listen to wolfpack, and other shitty bands that sound like a 5 year old shaking a tin can full of beans.

fuck you motherfucker, yer just a sissy who can't handle raw brutality

Cryptic Anthony said:
I agree with this 100%

is devourment pristine?????

I'll still listen to and enjoy raw-sounding DM. Like older Deeds of Flesh (and some other Unique Leader stuff), the riffs are really awesome but harder to hear because of the production.

It's just more of a strain on your ears to have to listen to poor production. The music of lots of metal bands is already really chaotic and unpredictable, so being able to hear it better helps you appreciate the riffs and song structures.

Fisted are you a fucking retard?? Raw??? dumb ass litsen to onset of putrefaction not this new re issue bullshit. The original version is pretty raw and unbelievable. Muhammeds playing is totally ridiculous. Ill admit the new necrophagist and that repress isnt as good as older necrophagist but give them credit were its due. lol same goes with deeds of flesh gradually melted was fucking amazing however im not as into their new shit. If you want good technical DM check out odious mortem their new disc just came out on UL its pretty damn crazy, definatly for necrophagist fans.

necrophagist are frigging great, definetly redefining technical death metal.

more gain though, please.

NECROPHAGIST is the best extreme band I have ever heard.
This is ellite stuff and is not for black metal kids. With a crappy sound production, you won't be able to hear the extreme technical perfection of Muhhamed and his bandmates.
If you need a shitty production, why don't you just mess up the sound you find too "polished" and listen to the final result instead? Use SoundForge ;)

What does Necrophagist have to do with black metal?

i like necrophagist but the drum sounds make me wanna kill myself
