Initially created as a duo, Portuguese act NECROBODE appeared on the scene with «Metal Negro da Morte», a demo released in 2018 by Iron Bonehead. Showing a raw and rude approach to the older kind of death/black metal straight away, these musicians evoked a wild delirium based on a hypnotic trance, so without losing momentum, the expanded the formation to a trio and got back on the offensive with the much lauded debut album two years later. «Sob o Feitiço do Necrobode» intensified even further the firm and filthy foundations of their previous effort – pulsating savagery, screaming riffs, effect-drenched vocals that sound like a demon throwing up into the abyss, the occasional synth texture and just the right amount of melody necessary to keep the listener engaged – and presented ten songs that sound like a sublime cacophony emerging straight from the dungeons of rot. If you’re a fan of bands like Beherit, VON, Archgoat, Profanatica and their likes, you will not want to miss the sonic discharge these known figures of the Portuguese underground will provide. Initially scheduled for the 2023 edition, it’s in 2024 that we will end the curse that has kept Necrobode away from the SWR stage!
