2006 will probably go down in Infamy as "the-year-Black-Metal-became-accessible"! This year we've seen the release of incredible CDs by Satyricon, Cradel of Filth, I, Dissection (RIP Jon), Carpathian Forrest and now Necrodeath. Rather than the usual loud/fast/unlistenible drums n guitars that go nowhere these CDs have a broader appeal that make them not only accessible but even entertaining to those who don't care much for this sub genre. Necrodeath's "100% Hell" is loud n fast but shows a creativity that 90% of Black Metal bands lack- especially with the Iommi-esque riffs. Here's hoping for more listenible Blacl Metal in 07!

After their essential `Greatest Hits' compilation from last year, Necrodeath are ready to put themselves in the map with 100% Hell, an album that's representative of the title for many obvious reasons. The band's brand of thrash metal remains intact, but they play it with a modern approach. The old-school spirit is still there, combined with groovy parts and short, precise songs. Commanding, classic Slayer-esque portions inject the songs with deadly fury, while the vocals are suitable for nature of the music. Flegias' voice sounds identical to Shagrath of Dimmu Borgir, giving it a blackened feeling to the material. Excellent effort by these Italian thrashers. 3.5/5

After hearing Master of Morphine, I thought this album was going to own. Wrong. It is satisfactory and nothing more. I would suggest downloading MoM and not buying this cd. New Necrodeath has been a let down for me.

I usually don't write a review on an item when others have, but this is an exception only because I strongly disagree with the others.

I Have purchased every Necrodeath since Mater of Evil and these guys haven't changed. They all sound the same (except for Ton(s) of Evil which I did not like). The guitars and production is outstanding but like I said, all sound the same(even with the new guitarist.)I don't care if the label is "black metal", Flegias has to go. You can't understand his sreechy/raspy voice and it is not like I am looking to have a "sing-a-long". Basically, you are buying the disc for the music. I love the "wall of guitars" sound, but after the fourth disc, I would like some discernable vocal. Please notice that I gave this a four star rating even though it sounds like I do not like them. The bottomline is that the guitars, sound, music and production are outstanding and typical Necrodeath (black thrash) which I like and will still buy.
