scary and cool ..i first heard it i shivered but its so cool never heard no other band like them they rule as of now they are my faves HAIL NECROPHAGIA KILLJOY'S VOCALS KICK ASS

I picked up this album mainly because I was curious about what kind of guitar player Pantera's Phil Anselmo, aka Anton Crowley, has become. His playing on this album is pretty much, "Heavy Metal Guitar 101," so the fast riffing and soloing normally associated with Death Metal are absent from this album. What Phil/Anton's guitar playing lacks in speed and agility, they've tried to make up for in squeaky feedback which, with the overly-trebly recording, adds more annoyance than menace to the songs. The guitar playing falls way short of the "chainsaw dismemberment," ominously promised in the ghastly liner notes. The riffing on this album will remind listeners way more of Black Sabbath re-tread than Cannibal Corpse or Morbid Angel (most of the riffing is more slow and "doomy" than is normally associated with real "Death Metal," and when Phil/Anton does try to play faster, he's not doing much with his fret hand).

If Phil is capable of better shredding, perhaps he was not really given the opportunity to do so because the "music" mainly appears to be a showcase for the comically grotesque lyrics and fiendishly ghoulish gurgle of bloodthirsty "lead vomiter," "Killjoy." "Killjoy" had a much better band than this on the cult classic, "Season of the Dead," which had some genuine shredding on it, back in the formative days of Death metal (1987) - but gore movie buff, "Killjoy," had a more grisly agenda than the rest of that band, and the result is this misbegotten would-be "end all masterpiece" (as the record label's marketing hype proclaims).

The production on this album isn't very good, either. The sound is rather thin and trebly, lacking the weight that might have given the album a little more impact to make up for the lack of instrumental agility (this is what the reviewer who felt it could be heavier may have been trying to say). If you're into comic book horror and grade B gore flicks, and aren't really looking for this to be a genuine "Death Metal" album, you might like this, otherwise you will probably be disappointed. Death/Thrash Metal fans: "Season of the Dead," has been re-issued on CD - it's pretty derivative of other '80's Thrash/Death but look for it anyway, it's worth picking up.

Where do I begin......Necrophagia IS the definers of gore-metal.The band started back in 1987 as a death-metal band and recorded their ONLY album "Seasons of the Dead", with became an underground cult phenomenonm.After the album,the band's vocalist Killjoy wanted to continue making such albums, but the rest of the band wanted to do a more non death metal type of thing Killjoys breaks up with the band and nothing is heard of them since.Cut to 1998 when Seasons of the Dead is remastered and a rabid necrophagia fan...Phil Anselmo from Pantera catches up with killjoy and makes "Holocausta de La Morte".Killjoy's vocals sound like his throat is filled with black blood and cant seem to cough it up and make a really messy scene.What can I say..................Necrophagia Rules

This is a very good death metal album.This music is pretty different from what I have heard.The vocals are awsome and the guitar and bass riffs are of a very good quality.This bands combines in a good way very fast parts with slower patrs.The only aspect I think they could improve is being more heavy becomes sometimes the music doesen't have the heavyness deathmetal music requires however it is a very good album and a I definetly recommend it.

black sabbath/meets black metal. this has philip anselmo of pantara as anton crowley on guitar on this classic album. purchased when it first came out in 1998.as digi-pak and still own it in excellent condition.total lucio fulci gore metal.for fulci fans esp. this is one of the bands that inspired the creation of world famous gore pioneers cannibal corpse i worship both these bands.

Metal at it's sickest!!!!! If you like lyrics that sound like they just came from a Lucio Fulci movie(which this CD is based on), you'll love this CD!!!!!

Great stuff from Necrophagia, im not going to write a 4 hour review so i'll give you the basics. Great riffage, some very good vocals, growels galore, a gore nightmare which every gore fan wants, drumming thats ok, kick[ing] bass! If you wanna check it out try the song "Blood Freak".

Amazing, Necrophagia will conjure up the goosebumps. The wicked feedback and hellraiser sound bites help make this the best scare-metal album known to man. I didn't think anybody would ever top "Season of the dead", but killjoy has. Prepare to be violently scared. Buy direct from redstream and support the underground.

this is the best in death metal. if you are a discriminating listener and you want one of the most brutal and uplifting albums ever get this, it is VIOLENT! there is no better death metal vocalist right now

yes im the biggest fan of phil from pantera for those of you who dont know his part in this band is on axe which he does a real good job but if you are buying this cd cause you want gore try a band called exhumed , mortician, devourment ect ect they are at the core of real gore grind but if your both a fan of death and a fan of phil get it its a good lisen and if your a phil fan check out down , super joint ritual and if your a southern metal freak try soilent green eyehategod sleep crowbar exhorder floodgate are goatwhore thery all great and check out the necrophagia video its kicks
