HELLS HEADBANGERS is proud to present the classic second album from NECROPHAGIA, Holocausto de la Morte.
The significance and influence of NECROPHAGIA on the death metal genre were firmly established with their absolute classic debut album 'Season of the Dead' in 1987. While the posthumous 'Ready for Death' from the 1990s was meant to be NECROPHAGIA's debut album, its highly controversial nature as an 'official bootleg' of the band, which had already ceased to exist after the release of Season of the Dead.
However, NECROPHAGIA were undead and eternal, and the band rose from the grave in 1998 with the release of Holocausto de la Morte. The TRUE second album of the band, Holocausto de la Morte, featured a brand new lineup, led (as always) by founding vocalist and lyricist Killjoy. While it was a poorly kept secret at the time, this NECROPHAGIA lineup included an 'Anton Crowley' on guitar, who was in fact Pantera frontman Phil Anselmo. Either way, Holocausto de la Morte kept the spirit of NECROPHAGIA intact and even more so, as Crowleys repulsive tone and swampy riffing took the album into darker and crazier territories than most death metal of the time. Holocausto de la Morte was neither 'old school' nor a complete return to 'Season of the Dead', but rather honorably expanded the NECROPHAGIA lexicon in a truly extreme way, and more importantly, made the band accessible to a whole new legion of fans who were fortunate enough to experience the band's development over the next two decades.
