Great fragment of a Review made by CHRISTI_NS_ANITY8, December 30th, 2008 [wwww.Metal-Archives.com] on INTO THE MACABRE ALBUM

Like a phoenix that reborn from the ashes, the new blasphemous creation of Ingo, Paolo, Peso and Claudio is called Necrodeath after having disbanded the older Ghostrider band. The year is the 1985 and with the first demo on cassette, that The Shining Pentagram, Necrodeath immediately showed to everyone (in Italy and abroad) their primitive, occult and devastating power. The tracks on that cassette were a concentrate of fury and darkness, a primordial, embryonic form of black/thrash with a fuzzy and unclear production. The demo sold lots of copies and soon it turned to be a wanted piece for the avid collectors of rarities. Few months after, a small label from Liguria (Italy), the Nightmare Productions, decided to give the band a change to record something new, this time on full length format and in 1987 the majestically dark Into The Macabre came out from the dark to revolutionise the Italian panorama.

Eight tracks were more than sufficient to destroy anything in violence in Italy at the time. If Bulldozer were more Motörhead influenced and Schizo a bit more death/thrash oriented, Necrodeath really brought something unmatchable in sheer murkiness and devastation. What we can find here is the most representative example of extremism in Italy during the 80s in my opinion. They were influenced by everything extreme at the period and especially by Slayer, Kreator, Bathory and Venom. This lethal mixture of extreme styles collides perfectly with the typical occult atmosphere of the Italian bands in that period and there's nothing you can do before being annihilated by furious proto-blast beats, black screams and massive guitars riffs.

On Into The Macabre, Necrodeath wasn't that technical like it would have been on the following Fragments of Insanity, but the songs are always well-developed in their fury and we can notice extreme well-played tempo changes in a dark cave infested by crunchy and dark songs from hell. However, this album is so famous in the underground mostly for its revolutionary brutality in a period in which the extremism was in a continue change because many were experimenting the blends of genres and almost everything was to be discovered. Many foreign musicians like Cronos, Euronymous and Dan Lilker praised this album as a very important one for the future evolution of black metal genre. Since this, the importance of Into The Macabre is undeniable but now, let's open the door of this entrance to hell and prepare because you won't return to normality too easily.
