An Edumacation for You Dumb Cunts: Part Ein
It is obvious that the ignorant poseur scum of this site are too incompetent to be able to find quality metal without my help, so this is the first installment of a series that will educate you taint lickers on some of the lesser known but totally kickass True Metal bands out there. So without further ado...
Necro Schizma
Death/Doom/First Wave Black Metal
1989-1990
It is a cold, moonless night. You are lost in a forest. It would be pitch black except that the forest is bathed in a sickly, eerie light that seems to have no source. The trees have all color bleached from them from this light, but all else is cloaked in the blackness of night. Suddenly you hear a hideous cry that seems to come from everywhere at once. You panic and flee, not knowing whether the cries that seem to be following you belong to some maniac or something even more sinister. You feel lost in a seemingly endless forest yet claustrophobic due to the darkness and cries that surround you. But what's this? BAM!!! That's Necro Schizma with an ice pick to your f
ucking cornea!
That's the feeling given off by this absolutely putrid band of nutbags. If you dig extreme doom then this is your band. If you prefer your black metal of the eighties variety then this is totally your f
ucking band! If you take the primitive racket of Hellhammer, slow it down to a snail's pace, and let it sit till the late eighties and absorb all the advances in extreme metal, then you get Necro Schizma. But these guys are more than just some ugly, lo fi version of Electric Wizard or Disembowelment. These righteous dudes were one of, if not the first, death/doom bands. Too bad they only released one demo,
Erupted Evil, along with a rehearsal demo before breaking up. Don't let that stop you though.
Erupted Evil is a forgotten classic with an ultra s
hitty production that, along with the primitive and sparse instrumentation that gives the music spaces of silence that build tension, captures the evil, claustrophobic atmosphere of Mayhem better than most black metal bands can ever dream of. Approach with caution.
