View Comment Details
Unfortunately the European vinyl release has been postponed until December 9th, so this review is based on a digital download. The sound quality and production is flawless and Kim's machine-gun bass sounds crisp as hell. Compared to their last album, this new one certainly has much better sound. I only wish I could say a few words about the vinyl's sound or the cover of the album too.
I can however say that I hate the title "
A Symphony of Wolf Tones & Ghost Notes
". It sounds like a fucking Volbeat title. The best thing I can say about that is that the album certainly doesn't sound anything like Volbeat. Har!
It's been 5 years since the latest NekroAlbum "
What Happens In Hell Stays In Hell!
" [2011] and to judge from the increasing gap between albums, I predict that the next one will be out in 2022. Since the latest album, Lux Drummerette has been replaced by Adam the Mighty Mouse. He is doing a mighty fine job, both live and on this new album. He's got a nice swing and fits in very well with guitarist Franc and the old grumpy Nekroman himself.
The album opens with a very typical
woo-hoo yeah-yeah
NekroRocker "
Glow in the Dark
". Perhaps not the best of it's type ever from the band, but it does the job well and gets the album started with a blast. "
NekroTopia
" brings giant spiders and gargoyles to the party. It's one of the best songs on the album and very true to the finest NekroSound. "
War Bats
" brings both bats and more
woo-hoos
with it.
Weakest tracks? Personally I'm not a big fan of "
Cry Yourself To Sleep
" and "
No more Room in Hell
". I found them somewhat boring and a little uninspired after a few spins.
My Favorite? "
Creeping it Real
" totally rocks! It has great lyrics "
stalking you is the only way I can feel
" and the rhythm is pounding. Very nice tune indeed and a true NekroClassic.
ASOWT&GN
is actually a very consistent album that will keep you trapped beyond death for a long while. It may lack the true NekroHit material, but if you just give it a bit of time, it doesn't have many weak spots either. It gives us more of the well-proven NekroFormula. And if it ain't broke, don't fucking try to fix it.
