Necroblaspheme – Belleville

[nyrating]

27th September 2015 Thomas Nielsen Album Reviews 0

It’s all in place: An evil-as-f*ck band name, dark and heavy music and a growl from hell. You’d think that all is good for French death metal outfit Necroblaspheme – who’ve actually been around since 2001.

Yup, they do everything right, and they sound good. Only, ‘Belleville’ is a terribly dull album. The spark isn’t there. It’s all too predictable. Simple as that.

With the song Gouffre, i.e. the ninth song of the album, there’s finally some of that intensity and energy I’m looking for in death metal, but then it’s too late, innit? Too bad, it doesn’t really work.

When my old buddy Kenn Jensen asked me if I wanted to contribute to the new site he had created, then called powermetal.dk, I didn't hesitate. My love for metal music was and is great. I wrote my first review during the summer of 2004 (Moonspell's 'Antidote' album). In 2015, I took over the editor-in-chief role.
