The debut EP by this Portuguese band. In just 20 swift and slashing minutes, this power trio gets in, gets out, and destroys: the listener is literally put on the front line of Necro Chaos´ Death Metal attack. That attack is neither “modern” nor “retro”: the hammering heaviness of “Spiral of Obscurity” is simply timeless, just like all the best Death Metal from the genre´s original boom. But even while respecting Death Metal´s time-honored traditions, they put forth subtle touches of invention, like spacey effects and strange synths, which adds a unique aspect that´s thankfully never belabored.
