Una miscela esplosiva nella quale Grindcore, Brutal, Death e architetture Progressive si fondono. Nitroglicerina 100%.
Questa è l'essenza di Epitaph, ultimo album dei tedeschi Necrophagist.

Un album tecnicamente perfetto, ma con un pizzico di ripetività, che comunque, non sminuisce il valore.

Questi sono i nomi da ricordare:
Christian Muenzner - Guitar
Hannes Grossmann - Drums
Stefan Fimmers - Bass
Muhammed Suicmez - Guitar / Vocals
Tutti musicisti con poco da invidiare tecnicamente ai Dream Theater.
Tutto questo macello sonoro è composto da un cantato growl serrato ed estremo (che sputa liriche degne dei Cannibal Corpse), riffs serrati e potenti, assoli veloci ed estremamente tecnici, basso molto proggante (stupendi i primi 5 secondi di Only Ash Remains) e batteria in doppia-cassa perenne. Le migliori sono Epitaph, Stabwound e Only Ash Remains.

Un album per chi ama la violenza trasmessa sul piano musicale (ma anche per la violenza fine a sé stessa), per chi ama tecnicismi e virtuosismi portati al limite e per chi vuole semplicemente scatenarsi e devastarsi (consigliato il pogo di gruppo dopo 15 birre).

Uno degli album più tecnici che abbia mai potuto udire.

02   The Stillborn One (04:24)

03   Ignominious and Pale (04:01)

If it is to be only
an element of a whole,
To hide behind others
And form the eclipse of mind.
Ignominious and pale.

If it were to one
having nothing to tell,
This would equal
A state of being the one,
Ignominious and pale.

Fallen in the abyss of indignity,
Doubt does not exist
or come into being. Pale...

Incarceration of personality
Is the sad inception of self-denial..
The one that denies the inner self
Flees into deception.

(Solo: Suicmez)

06   Only Ash Remains (04:11)

Fear is never gone from your soul
that saw humiliation.
Being prey to the blackest of demons,
paralyzed you fail.

Fallen beneath
the mark of dignity,
you fail.

(A) demon passed on from one
to the next infiltrates
a mind innocent and pure;
planting the seed to possess
another soul that is doomed to fail.

08   Symbiotic in Theory (04:35)

Unable to move from a point of view,
driven by reasons as old as time itself.

Symbiotic In Theory

In order for a life to be
commanded it must be owned.

Symbiotic In Theory

Gravity forces water
to flow downhill,
a will is not given.

Inferior or superior,
will is that which decides.

To give and take, to be...
