Brutal death metal. There, that’s it, and really that is all you need to know. If you like this style of music then you are going lap this up, if not then don’t bother. What we have here is a compilation culled from four demos recorded by France’s finest, and although the sound quality does suffer a little between the different sets of originals this is in fact a superb release. If I didn’t know the history (and the title does rather give it away), then I would think that these recordings stemmed from the beginning of the genre as this level of brutality and rawness is definitely from that time. Just playing this lets you feel the sweat and volume taking place in a hell hole of a club somewhere near you. If I had to place a geography on these guys then I would have said Birmingham, or south Florida, certainly not France. This is incredibly intense, over the top, yet always with a clarity and finesse that shows that Necrowretch are far more than just riff hard and turn it up merchants. Refreshingly heavy and definitely over the top.
