Product Description
The first real Progressive rock band in Portugal was a landmark for the European scene, due to the originality of its music. Despite a standard line-up (Keyboards, guitar-vocals, bass & drums-percussions), TANTRA played elaborated and beautifully built and arranged Progressive songs in Portuguese, which figured at the same creative level as the best English composers (YES, GENTLE GIANT, CAMEL...) but with a distinct character. The vocals contain an astonishing lyricism, the musical constructions and combinations are complex and inventive, the sounds are originals and the melodies beautifully made. Apart from being placed in the same category as YES, GENTLE GIANT, PREMIATA FORNERIA MARCONI or KING CRIMSON, this group was in itself a reference. "Misterios E Maravilhas" (1978) & "Holocausto" (1979) are two landmarks in Progressive rock, the latter being slightly influenced by THE MAHAVISHNU ORCHESTRA's Progressive jazz-rock.

Album Description

Holocausto De La Morte is one of the bloodiest, goriest Death Metal albums it can possible be, severing more jugulars for your money! Its violent, uncompromising and bleak ferocity can only be akin to a spear impalement, head stabbing oror bat skewering (with scissors).

5 out of 5 stars Best from the Best!.......2003-06-03

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".

4 out of 5 stars good but not great.......2000-10-26

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

1 out of 5 stars Loathsome lyrics, alone, don't "Death Metal" make........2000-06-27

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.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent album.......2000-05-07

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.
