Artist: necrophagist

Italian prog metal maestros Ephel Duath are really just an Italian prog metal maestro, singular - the band has gone through something like 1,864,093 line-up changes since 1998, with guitarist Davide Tiso being the only constant. Do hardcore Ephel Duath fans consider that a total bummer, or do they not care? Regardless, this news should make [...]

U.S.-by-way-of-Italy avant-garde metallers Ephel Duath have announced an all-star cast of musicians will appear on their forthcoming EP due in spring 2012 thru AGONIA RECORDS. Steve DiGiorgio (Death, Testament, Sadus, Obscura), Karyn Crisis (Crisis, Karyn Crisis Band) and Marco Minemann (Paul Gilbert, Necrophagist, Kreator, Tony MacAlpine) join the...

Ron Jarzombek is a name that's too seldom heard outside of progressive metal circles, despite his extensive metal legacy. Sure, a handful of people may be familiar with Blotted Science - the so-called "supergroup" of which he is a part - but by and large, even those who know Blotted Science are unfamiliar with the [...]

Our buddy Keith Carlson hit it out of the park again with his new comic for Orlandooom. You may recall last week's great Portal comic. On a serious note, we haven't heard any updates whatsoever about the new Necrophagist since the last time we've wrote about it.

Tired of waiting for the new Necrophagist album? Well, so is MetalSucks reader Keith Carlson. Mr. Carlson does weekly comics for Orlandooom.com, and his latest pokes fun at the Chinese Democracy of tech death. Check it out below; it's some really, really funny shit. You can click on the comic to enlarge it. Check out more [...]

Let me start off by saying that I am not a fan of Technical Death Metal. Its lack of song development, repetitive song structure and unnecessarily long guitar solos have always made me believe that Tech-Death is the weakest sub-genre of Metal. Despite all of that I absolutely loved the latest release from the German Progressive [...]

A few junkies have recently sent me some emails asking if I had happened to hear anything about this infamous new Necrophagist record that all of us fanboys have been patiently waiting for for almost seven years now (since their last release, Epitaph). The last we heard officially from mastermind Muhammed Suiçmez was last July ...

Obscura Omnivium Relapse Records 29 March 2011 by Tom Dare Where the hell do you start with a record like Omnivium? Trying to describe a record as diverse, dynamic and fluctuant as this, Obscura's third album, is almost certain not to do it justice, but as a start there is just one thing that needs [...]

Ah, Valentine's Day. Reviled by most, enjoyed by the smug, and shrugged off by the belligerently ambivalent. But while most of us couldn't care less about this specific day in February, it's still an annoyance that comes around every year. Kind of like the common cold. Now, most places will have shitloads of "quirky" recommendations [...]

When Mike Portnoy announced he would be leaving Dream Theater, many of you speculated in our comments section that drum great Marco Minneman (who played in Necrophagist for a while, among countless other musical endeavors) might be on the shortlist of potential replacements. The following is of course completely reckless speculation and nothing other than [...]

by: Frank Godla SO STOKED! If you're not familiar with Willowtip Records you should be ashamed of yourself, kick your own ass, then stop fucking around on this website and visit their site immediately. They're responsible for some of the decades best and most memorable bands such as Necrophagist, Gorod, Dim Mak, Rotten Sound, Capharnaum, ...

Seems like every few months an interview with Muhammed Suiçmez surfaces in which the Necrophagist mastermind promises a new record will be released soon. Suiçmez wasn't off-base when he said in July that new music would be released before the end of the year, only he's got nothing to do with said music: guitarist Sami [...]

By now you've probably seen a fair share of the ever popular Hitler internet meme using the bunker scene from the German film, The Downfall: Hitler and the End of the Third Reich. If you really have been living under a rock and are not familiar with this internet meme, this video should bring you ...

We've heard this song and dance before right? When I interviewed Necrophagist frontman Muhammed Suiçmez nearly two years ago, he promised a new record by the Summer of 2009, when they headlined the Summer Slaughter tour. The tour came and went and all we got was one new song in the set but no release ...

Reader Steven Peyton sent in a really interesting interview with Necrophagist guitarist/mainman Muhammed Suiςmez conducted at this year's Hellfest, in which the wily Turkish-German fret master answers that burning question to which we'd all like to know the answer: when will we be getting new Necrophagist music?? It's been almost six years already since Epitaph. Says [...]

There's a site called anus.com . It's not what you think. It's an acronym for American Nihilist Underground Society. I shit you not. It's an incredibly self-indulgent and even more ridiculous take on the "philosophy" of nihilism. Anyhow, according to the site one of the main cultures of nihilism is heavy metal. There are reviews of albums from just about every sub-genre under its umbrella. Hell, some of them might actually mean something if the prose wasn't buried under pretentious bullshit. Take a look at a portion of the site's review of Mayhem's Deathcrush : [...]

#5 – Necrophagist Technical German death metal that crushes! #4 – Scorpions Check out "China White." You can't really go wrong with Scorps - even the mainstream hits are great. But this tune is a classic. What a riff! You're headbanging. #3 – Destruction German metal legends. Eighties thrash rules. Mad Butcher!!! #2 – Sodom If any band [...]

Not even in a Lambgoat funny haha / trying to cause a stir kind of way; in a really malicious, dispiriting what-the-fuck-is-wrong-with-th e-human-race kind of way. This coming from MetalSucks, where our comments are unfortunately so often filled with grade-A assholes. Take the above video, sent in by MS Maniac Israel Dellinger. I see a girl covering [...]
