NECROPHAGIST technical death metal anniversary

August 3, 2004: Necrophagist: Epitaph - Relapse Records

NECROPHAGIST was formed in in Germany in 1992 by 17-year-old Muhammed Suiçmez. Necrophagist is considered influential and important in technical death metal. There are albums: Onset of Putrefaction (1999) and Epitaph (2004).

"Overall this is an essential technical death metal release. Everything good about the genre can be found here. While it sucks that the band didn’t do anything else after this they left behind a legacy that still lives on today. Do I consider this one of the best technical/progressive death metal albums of all time? Absolutely. If you’re looking for a well-written, extreme, and melodic tech death album. This is for you." -Traumawillalwayslinger, The Metal Archives

Agreed. It's excellent.
