Bio:
Necronomicon is a German thrash metal band.Necronomicon was founded in 1983 by band leader Volker "Freddy" Fredrich, Axel Strickstrock and Lars "Lala" Honeck.The band originally made Punk rock, so in 1981 "Freddy" founded Total Rejection.This early Necronomicon phase was affected by bands like Discharge (band), The Exploited and GBH.Through the influence of Motörhead, Metallica and Slayer, their musical style soon would turn more into heavy metal.In 1985, the quartet signed their first record contract at GAMA Records. That was one year before guitarist Jürgen "Jogi" Weltin was engaged. The band released their debut album "Necronomicon", still dressed in punk outfits on the cover. With a mixture of hard thrash with strong Punk rock influences, they gained notoriety in the underground scene.In 1987 the second album "Apocalyptic Nightmare" was put on the market. On an Eastern Bloc tour that began in Austria and Hungary, the former Czechoslovakia to Russia, Necronomicon gained a large following.In the late 1980s the German Thrash metal reached its peak period. Bands like Kreator, Sodom (band) and Destruction with "Freddy's" childhood friend Schmier attended national and international sensation. But Necronomicon had less success in this regard due to some major setbacks: After 1988, when the third album was released at Escalation GAMA Records, it came to financial inconsistencies on the part of the label. Necronomicon then separated from the management. As the label threatened with a legal dispute, the band agreed to give up their complete rights to the songs along with the band name for ten years. Necronomicon has also been forced not to sign any other record contract.In 1993 Necronomicon was able to re-sign a new record deal. The blocking time over ten years, which was declared by GAMA Records, now successfully had been challenged. But the joy of the new contract, now at D&S Records, lasted only briefly. Although the album "Screams" was still mixed in 1994 under new management, D&S Records surprisingly reported insolvency in the same year and broke all contact with the band. In addition, a fire destroyed the rehearsal room and a large part of the equipment. Necronomicon almost broke up, especially Thrash metal was no longer needed at that time and was replaced by nu metal.In early 2000 an unexpected thrash revival broke out on the international music scene. Bands like Destruction or Exodus (band) went on tour again and produced new albums. Also Necronomicon succeeded in March 2004 when the band completed a contract with the label Remedy Records (Germany) from Hamburg and the new CD named "Construction of Evil" was brought to the market.But before that, the long-standing collaboration with guitarist Jogi had to be stopped because of his tinnitus.In 2007 Necronomicon signed a contract with the Spanish label Xtreem Music. The album "Revenge of the Beast" appeared. The CD was recorded as a special edition with a rougher mix of classic retro 1980s thrash in Neuenburg am Rhein.The European Tour in 2009 led to Greece, Spain and over to Russia. Drummer and founding member Axel Strickstrock resigned and was replaced by Klaus Enderlin.End of June 2013, Necronomicon was looking for permanent members playing the guitar and the bass. Benjamin "Ben Jay" Rogg and Marco Lohrenz completed Necronomicon. In this new formation Necronomicon played their first gig in the Czech Republic at the Aggressive Music Fest 2013 which was a full success for the new line-up.On 27th November 2015 the band released their album Pathfinder... Between Heaven and Hell on German label Trollzorn Records.
Album:
Bearing a career that spans almost 4 decades, NECRONOMICON, has continuously made a name for themselves within the genre; known for not wanting to sit still the band has managed their 10th release, The Final Chapter, which has been made both as a reflection of their previous endeavors and a metaphor for the burgeoning pages of the band’s pursuits whose contents have to be writ.The album opens up with the intoxicating track, “I Am The Violence,” a heavy hitting track that commences with rhythm guitar playing the main riff under a phaser or flanger before the band joins in full; the intensity of the song is immediately noted as it never slows or otherwise hesitates and only increases in force as it bears its Thrash roots with pride. The title track, “The Final Chapter,” is only the second track on the album and does quite well in making a statement both in its composition and placement; the repetition of the line “give me fire” is one of the elements that set in deep in listening as the delivery ranges from being exacting and demanding to unsure and pleading creating an interesting dynamic in a manner not oft done. “Purgatory” opens up with a quote taken straight from the 2007 film Gabriel, the clever sampling feeds directly into a ringing guitar as the leads play off of one another leaving the band to jump around the beats with staccato—the verse seamlessly blends into and accompanies the blistering instruments that then feed into the chorus whereupon the cycle begins anew. “World On Fire” opens on an astoundingly simple rhythm being constructed of a single palm muted note accented with the rest of the band in tandem with the wailing vocals. The song digresses into a more intense variant albeit with a similarly simple rhythm; the chorus changes melody and rhythm to something more slow and esoteric before jumping right back into the carnage of the verse repeating unto the song’s completion. With its dynamic range of tracks “The Unnamed” was sure to wrest attention unto itself being something more subtle and relaxed in comparison to its predecessors it bounds in and out of ferocity.This album features an amazing collection of instruments all laser focused on creating the best sound they can with one another and achieves such in grand measure—most impressively is the sheer ambition of the performance as never once does anyone hesitate or relent in even the smallest amount creating a torrent that carries the listener from the raw extreme of “I Am Violence” to the brutal vehemence that is “The Stormreaper.”NECRONOMICON has made for themselves a breakout into something defining of sound, purpose, and motivation as The Final Chapter marks a kind of resurgence for the band into different trails. For any fan of the band prior, or any newcomer, they are sure to find immeasurable worth within the confines of The Final Chapter.
