Necrogosto/Ancestral Bestiality/Nuclear War Now! Productions/2020 EP Review


  Necrogosto  are  a  band  from  Brazil  that  has  been  featured  before  in  this  zine  and  plays  a  musical  style  they  describe  as  being  satanic  black  noise  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2020  ep  "Ancestral  Bestiality"  which  will  be released  in  March  by  Nuclear  War  Now!  Productions.

  Dark  soundscapes  start  off  the  ep  before  going  into  a  heavier  direction  while  the  vocals  bring  in  a  mixture  of  grim  black  metal  screams  and  bestial  growls.  The  music  also  mixes  in  a  great  amount  of  80's  and  80's  Brazilian  along  with  the  faster  sections  of  the  songs  also  adding  in  a  a  lot  of  blast  beats.

  When  tremolo  picking  is  utilized  it  gives  the  music  more  of  a  raw  feeling  along  with  all of  the  musical  instruments  on  the  recording  also  having  a  very  powerful  sound  to  them.  Throughout  the  recording  you  can  also  hear  a  decent  mixture  of  slow,  mid  paced  and  fast  parts  while  the  music  also  brings  in  elements  of  war  and  thrash  metal  as  well  as  a  great  portion  of  the  tracks  also  being  very  short  in  length,

  A  small  amount  of  melody  can  also  be  heard  in  some  of  the  guitar  riffing  as  well  as  one  track  also  bringing  ritualistic  elements  onto  the  recording  before  returning  back  to  a  more  raw  and  brutal  musical  direction,  synths  can  also  be  heard  on  the  outro.  The  production  sounds  very  dark  and  raw  while  the  lyrics  cover  satanism,  blasphemy,  pre-Colombian  evilness,  demons  and  mysticism  themes.

  In  my  opinion  this  is  another  great  sounding  recording  from  Necrogosto  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  raw  and  old  school  black  and  death  metal,  you  should  check  out  this  ep.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Serpent  Of  1000  Eyes"  "Perversions  At  Necrotemple"  and  "Marching  To  Oblivion". 8 out  of  10.

Necrogosto Interview

1.For those that have never heard of you before, can you tell us a little bit about the band?

B.B. Crazy: We are a four piece band from São Paulo necropolis city and we play Satanic Black Noise against religious, conservatives and hypocrite moralists.



2.So far you have released one demo, can you tell us a little bit more about the musical style you went for on the recording?

B.B. Crazy: The main influence of NECROGOSTO is the South American metal of death, bands like Sarcófago, Vulcano, Holocausto, Parabellum, Loucyfer, Expulser, Pentagram (CHL) are close to our black hearts, but we take worldwide influences too, like Beherit, Blasphemy, Impaled Nazarene, (early) Mayhem, Hellhammer, Von, Messiah, and many others that we listen on total nights in hell and give us the gasoline. We bring some fire and personal influences to explode into our first demo tape.



3.You also refer to your music as being 'satanic black noise', can you tell us a little bit more about this term?

B.B. Crazy: Satanic is because our lyrics theme. Black is a reference to Black Metal and Noise because we crush mass media melodies, our songs are total old school metal chaos!



4.Your lyrics also cover some satanic, occult and anti Christian themes, how would you describe your interest in the black arts?

B.B. Crazy: In my opinion, these themes are a way to evolve yourself, liberating individuals from the Christian morals that are inside the Brazilian society. Satanism is the path for freedom, a way to destroy the shit that Christianism and Catholicism are putting into Brazilian heads more than five centuries ago. Our lyrics deal too with pre-Columbian rites of evil.



5.What is the meaning and inspiration behind the name 'Necrogosto'?

B.B. Crazy: Necrogosto can be translated as “Necrotaste”, or the taste of death.



6.Can you tell us a little bit more about the artwork that is presented on the ep cover?

B.B. Crazy: The artwork was done by the artist and our friend 1Berto, that is a great tattoo artist too. He had a great understand about our concept, we really liked the cover, fits like a glove to our music! We want to show our disgusting about the Christian church and the European colonization, that destroyed Americans original cultures.



7.What are some of the best shows that the band has played so far and also how would you describe your stage performance?

B.B. Crazy: We have already done a lot of cool gigs here in Brazil. I can tell about our performance at Belo Horizonte/Minas Gerais, land of our bigger influences and Cogumelo Records. We played “Destruição Nuclear” by Holocausto with Rodrigo Fuhrer on vocals. It was a great honour, since we are maniacs about Warfare Noise compilation. Deathkult Warfest at Santa Catarina was a blast too, really big stage, great sound equipment and share the stage with names as Amen Corner, Pentacrostic and Hellish Grave.



8.Do you have any touring or show plans for the future?

B.B. Crazy:  We have some scheduled shows for the future at our place and cities near São Paulo. Touring not yet, since our daily jobs consumes a lot of time and it is hard for all four demons escapes from the work at the same period of time. We are a new band, but on the next years we hope to desecrate other countries.



9.Recently Nuclear War! Now' re-issued your 2017 demo on cassette, can you tell us a little bit more about the newer version?

B.B. Crazy:  The NWN tape version was released last February on 300 copies. Really great work by this demonic label! Yosuke, the mastermind behind Nuclear War Now!, really liked our demo and is helping us to spread “Sudamerica” brutal fury to this fucked world.



10.On a worldwide level how has the reaction been to your music by fans of black and underground metal?

B.B. Crazy:  It is going really well for a total underground band that plays a really noisy type of music, many things that happened we don´t imagine to achieve in a so short time. People from all world write to us asking for stuff and information, some labels shows interest in our music, people help us giving some dollars on bandcamp, for me it´s a cool reaction, since we don´t have many expectations. NECROGOSTO isn´t something to achieve success, NECROGOSTO is all about blasphemy, intoxication and destruction. HAIL SATAN!



11.What is going on with some of the other bands or musical projects these days that some of the band members are a part of?

B.B. Crazy:  The other musical projects of the band members are on hold now. We want to talk only about NECROGOSTO.



12.When can we expect a full length and also where do you see the band heading into musically during the future?

B.B. Crazy:  SATANIC BLACK NOISE FOREVER! You can expect a 12” EP until the end of the year, but more details can´t be revealed now, only the name: ANCESTRAL BESTIALITY.



13.What are some of the bands or musical styles that have had an influence on your music and also what are you listening to nowadays?

B.B. Crazy: As I said on the second question, our main influences are Brazilian/Latin American bands from the 80´s and 90´s (Sarcófago, Insulter, Reencarnación, Holocausto, Mystifier, Necrobutcher, Chilean Pentagram, Vulcano,  among others) and other hordes, as Beherit, Blasphemy, early Mayhem, Maniac Butcher, Celtic Frost, etc…



Personally, hardcore/noisepunk intensity is a big influence for me as NECROGOSTO´s drummer, specially bands from Japan and Finland. I´m listening a lot nowadays to heavy metal and 70´s hard rock, besides the punk and extreme metal that I´m always listening to.



14.Before we wrap up this interview, do you have any final words or thoughts?

B.B. Crazy: Thanks for the interest in our music and thoughts. Cheers to Occult Black Metal Zine. Hope we can desecrate your lands someday. BAPHOMETIC NOISY CULT!

Necrogosto/Self Titled/Nuclear War Now! Productions/2019 Demo Re-Issue Review


  Necrogosto  are  a  band  from  Brazil  that  plays  a  musical  style  they  refer  to  as  being  satanic  black  noise  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  self  titled  2017  demo  which  will  be  re-issued  on  February  18th  on  cassette  by  Nuclear  War  Now!  Productions.

  A  very  dark  and  ritualistic  sounding  intro  starts  off  the  demo  before  going  into  a  very  fast  and  raw  war  metal  direction  which  also  uses  a  great  amount  of  tremolo  picking and  blast  beats.  Vocals  are  mostly  high  pitched  black  metal  screams  while  the  music  is  very  heavily  influenced  by  the  80's  and  90's  styles  of  Brazilian  black  and  death  metal.

   Throughout  the  recording  you  can  also  hear  a  great  mixture  of  slow,  mid  paced  and  fast  parts  while  the  riffs  also  add  in  a  decent  amount  of  dark  sounding  melodies.  Elements  of  thrash and  first  wave  black  metal  can  also  be  heard  in  the  bands  musical  style  along  with  all  of  the  musical  instruments  sounding  very  powerful.

  While  the  music  is  very  heavily  rooted  in  the  past  it  still  adds  in  a  modern  touch  at  times  in  the  way  they  mix  their  influences  together.  Bestial  growls  can  also  be  heard  in  certain  sections  of  the  recording  as  well  as  the  music  always  remaining  very  heavy  and  the  ep  closes  with  a  ritualistic  sounding  outro.  The  production  sounds  very  raw  and  old  school  while  the  lyrics  cover  Satanism,  Rituals,  Demons,  Evil,  Blasphemy  and  Anti  Christian  themes.

  In  my  opinion  Necrogosto  are  a  very  great  sounding  raw  and  old  school  mixture  of  black  and  death  metal  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  those  musical  genres,  you  should  check  out t his  band.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Ritual  Of  Decay"  and  "Paths  of  Abomination".  8/5  out  of  10.
