Description
NECROGORE was formed in 2022 as a power-trio whose purpose was to create death metal in its most vicious, violent and putrid form. Truly passionate about “the cult of death and the gore film genre”, they opted to fuse the words ‘necro’ and ‘gore’ together for their moniker. Drummer Chris and then guitar player had already played in the past together, besides being friends for over two decades. After the addition of Alex, the three soon set out to create “quite straight-forwards songs with a focus on energetic, fast and brutal riffs leaving very little time or space to think”.
This being said, while most material on Ectoplasmic Rape Phenomena is indeed quite to the point, the song ‘Sulphereal Morbid Corpse’ (the first written for the record) is a perfect epilogue. With its over six minutes running time, doomy and epic nature and guest solo part by GOREMENT’s Patrik Femlund, it proves with a bang that NECROGORE excels at being truly disgusting, no matter what the tempo is. And if this wasn’t enough, the final track on the album is an instrumental cover of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre part 2 main theme: “There are very few horror movie soundtracks that have been rearranged in a death metal key, you can actually count them on one hand. But the few bands who have done it have always achieved great results. On a personal level, we have always wanted to pay tribute to the great horror soundtrack composers we’ve loved since we were kids. The TCM2 soundtrack was chosen because, beyond being genuinely beautiful, it naturally fit our style. The film itself, while not on the same level as the first one, is extremely well constructed, with outstanding characters, fantastic irony, and an overwhelming sense of violence and filth that will always make it the best sequel in the entire saga.
