Thanks to my Magyar Bela Nagy for hooking it up…if you can read Hungarian check out his zine at http://www.salatamagazin.com. Necro is a fellow tribesman with a potty mouth worse than mine who’s quite entertaining, but if you have purity issues like I should consider yourself duly warned – IT AIN’T PRETTY.

I’m always searching for something fresh and new in music. To tell you the truth, it’s not a frequent thing to find a new artist whose album really impresses me. But when I first heard New York’s Necro I was like “Hell yeah that’s what I’m talkin’ about!” It was the Gory Days period when I first came into contact with his works. The dirty beats and flow just shredded me. As much as I like Gory Days, when he dropped “The Pre-Fix For Death” through his own record label Psycho+Logical-Records, it was definitely the next level.

Most people call Necro a rapper. But the way I see things he isn’t “just” a rapper.  His music is not only for rappers. He mixes the hiphop, the death metal and metal in a very unique way. He lived a real metal life cuz when he was 12 years old played rhythm guitar in a death metal band called Injustice with his brother, Non Phixion’s ILL BiLL. They opened for bands like Sepultura, Obituary and Biohazard. With “The Pre-Fix For Death” he created a new term: death rap. Yes, this album is the embodiment of death rap. Raw, energic and brutal. In a hiphop record I never heard that kind of hardcore energy before. You can find some real metalhiphop (Necro created this term too) tracks with metal and hardcore legends like Away of Voivod, John Tardy and Trevor Peres of Obituary, Jamey Jasta and Sean Martin of Hatebreed, Sid Wilson of Slipknot, Dan Lilker of Nuclear Assault and Lord Ezec aka Danny Diablo of Skarhead/Crown Of Thornz. The cover is classic as well, made by Edward J. Repka, who worked with bands like Death, Megadeth, Vio-lence etc. This record offers some new and creative things for every heavy music listener. Don’t sleep on Necro either, cuz he just started a new death/thrash metal band with Sepultura’s Igor Cavalera.
