Romancing the Stone and Jewel of the Nile are two movies in which\u00a0Danny Devito, Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner shined in the eighties. When\u00a0a band comes up with\u00a0this bandname, I immediately think that the music will not be very serious either. Man, was I wrong, perhaps the bandname is a little childish, the music isn’t. Looking at the line-up I see that some experienced artists take part. Jeramie King (The Absence), James Malone (Arsis), Ryan Williams (Black Dahlia Murder), John Williams and Justin Wood (both Brimstone Coven) form\u00a0the band. If you conclude that, looking at their background, the umpteenth\u00a0 melodic death metal album is going to be released,\u00a0you are too premature.<\/p>\n

The first tunes of the opening track reminds of early NWOBHM times. The singing of John Williams is clean, but\u00a0 with a ceremonious a bit theatrical sound. “Bleed For the Night” is up next and besides the voice of John there are some grunts added by Wood and Malone. The guitar parts are excellent, twin solos, good riffs and splendid melodies. The variety of styles used in the songs is done great. A Mix of thrash, melodic death, (U.S.) power metal, speed metal, NWOBHM with\u00a0a progressive touch.<\/p>\n

Jeff Loomis and Taylor Nordberg play along on “Ritualistic Demise” and “The Old One” and both deliver. Due to the different styles used the music sounds rather original. I cannot think of a band lately that mixed different styles in such a way that almost something new is created.\u00a0The\u00a0original singing style of John also sees to it that it just sounds a bit different from the lot. Song after song, more bands enter my mind. Megadeth, Iced Earth, Omen, Death, Fates Warning, Candlemass, Queens of the Stone Age (just listen to “The Old One”) and Nevermore are just a few. In fact you can say that if you take eighties heavy metal as base, add breakdowns, heavy riffs, technical guitar solos, lots of speed, some sporadic grunts all put in great written melodic songs, you get\u00a0Necromancing the Stone. If you want a more modern band name you can compare them with for a bit, it must be Charred Walls of the Damned, but believe me, Necromancing the Stone is a lot better…and original…<\/p>\n

For me this is this months surprise and perhaps even an album for my\u00a0year list.<\/p>\n
