Chuffed to be reissuing one of the greatest cult death metal demos of all time! Necro Schizma were arguably the first band to play properly slow death metal.
They took "Triumph Of Death" as a template (it's covered here), and the songs on this demo are essentially variations on that very basic theme; played incredibly primitively at snail's pace.
This is rough-sounding stuff, and shows little musical flair at all, but for me this is an absolute godhead of early extreme metal and encapsulates everything those early scenes were about: paying homage to your heroes (the cover is even just photocopied from the sleeve of the first Angel Witch 7"!), recording and releasing music yourself with a distinct aesthetic, and capturing an atmosphere that is almost impossible to do nowadays.
This demo has been re-released a few times in the past few years on vinyl and CD, but I don't think the artwork has come close to doing the justice of capturing the original home-made aesthetic in any way at all. This tape reissue is based on my own original copy of the tape and (I hope!) is a near-exact replica of the original. Maintain the sanctity of the classics!
Limited to 100 copies, pro printed 8-panel J-card and shrink-wrapped.

It's that kind of really putrid, filthy stuff that I hold very VERY dear!
Old school death metal/death-doom with a proper sound and good fuckin' riffs!
Also, these guys from Illinois (that place whose obnoxious nazis hunted the Blues Brothers) put out a demo like this and then disappeared in the winds of eternity!
THAT'S HOW YOU DO IT! Teach the world how to death-doom and then succumb into nothingness!
