NECROPHAGIA – From the storied history of Death, Gore and all Extreme Metal, returns the band that helped pioneer it all: Necrophagia. Be prepared for their fifth full-length to be released on May 17th, 2011, via Season of Mist, titled: Deathtrip 69. With the legendary Killjoy on vocals and at the deadly forefront of Necrophagia, perseverance is this iconic band’s middle name. Don’t miss out on Extreme Metal’s history being made once again… get your insane ears and senses into Deathtrip 69 and be thankful you were told to do so.

* I recently corresponded with Necrophagia’s guitarist Boris Randall, in regards to Deathtrip 69. Here is how Boris broke it down, in what to expect from this new Necrophagia album:

“Deathtrip 69 is Necrophagia getting back to it’s roots. Back to what put us on the map for horror and gore mixed with Extreme Metal. At the same time, this album features some new elements that Necrophagia is experimenting with such as more use of acoustic guitars, less synths, different styles of writing, as well as bringing back guitar solos”.

* When I asked about the featured guests on Deathtrip 69, being Casey Chaos and Maniac, Boris added:

“Casey Chaos shares lead vocals with Killjoy on the song Kyra, a tribute to Kyra Shon of the original Night Of The Living Dead. Maniac has a spoken word section in the title track Deathtrip 69″.

Killjoy – vocals
