Necrotic Verses

by DEATH COURIER

supported by

KAMINARIハウス A fantastic, old-school styled Death Metal album through and through. Gotta love the Black Metal feeling sprinkled in here as well.

missmetalofficial This album is absolutely mindblowing death metal!

11/10, cannot get enough! 🤯 Favorite track: Necrotic Verses.

ChrestusV Brutal Fuckin Death Metal!!! This shit hits so fast and hard it takes you a second to recollect yourself.

With catchy ripping guitars and tight brutal drumming, I was hooked right away. Upon my first listen I was thriving for a full replay.

Definitely a gem of an album and a Death Metal classic!

9/10 Favorite track: As Heaven Blends With Rot.

DEATH COURIER LP combo with LIVE BURIAL (all possible variants)
Record/Vinyl + Digital Album
Death Courier and Live Burial on our label are two of the most popular old school death metal bands we've worked with in this period and it makes sense to offer their LPs in a combo deal where the prices are not only heavily discounted but so is the shipping. You'll get all possible variants to choose from of both bands but keep in mind that the Live Burial LPs are running low in stock and that's why the combos are limited to only 5 per variant. Don't wait too long!

about

Legendary death metal band Death Courier are one of the earliest bands from the Greek metal scene releasing a slew of demos from way back in 1987 and putting out an album and an EP in the early '90s. More than three decades later, the band is on the verge of releasing one of the strongest albums to come from the Greek death metal scene. It's hard to believe that this is the same band because the energy level is off the charts and everything has been amped up to match present day standards without of course changing the core sound and integrity. The music is still essentially the pulsating, rabid death/thrash metal kind and there remains that palpable hunger in the members to create memorable and gnarly music that they were known for. This is a lethal new album that throws down the gauntlet to the naysayers doubting the band's prowess after so many years, who will invariably be forced to eat their words. 'Necrotic Verses' will grab you by the throat and won't let go till the shockingly potent album is over. Death Courier have set new standards for themselves and others to look up to, all over again.

Unending Futility
by LIVE BURIAL

supported by 479 fans who also own “Necrotic Verses”

Some of the best old-school death metal I've ever heard. Reminds me a lot of Death's Scream Bloody Gore, Defleshed's Abrah Kadavrah, and Obituary's Slowly We Rot if James Murphy wrote the leads - including some modern touches with blast beats. 10/10. Sid

The listening party of Ashen Tomb brought me here, of course, because of their split together with Sepulchral Curse... both are really fine OSDM done the Finnish way. The cavernous growls, the monstrous riffs and outstanding guitar work made this debut opus a ferocious milestone of blackened DM history! sashavonkarl74

Scandinavian death metal is so awesome most of the time, it's beyond words really. Such rigor, precision, craftmanship otherwordly. Even though I had been checking some releases by Paganizer over the years I came back to The Tower of the Morbid here on BC by mere chance and decided to give it another go, mid tempo with harsh low toned vocals and great guitar work.
