| General info : | | Necrophagia is an American death metal band that was formed in 1983 by vocalist Killjoy. The band's inspirations were Venom, Hellhammer and horror/gore movies, which is the band's main theme and lyrical topic. The band is credited as one of the inaugural groups within the death metal genre, along with Possessed and Death.
The band self-released five demo tapes before recording "Ready For Death"; this was supposed to be the debut album, but it didn't end up seeing a release until 1990. The band went back into the studio, however, and in 1987 they finally released their classic debut album "Season of the Dead". However, shortly after the record's release the band broke up. According to Killjoy, this was because the other members wanted to go towards a more mainstream style, while he wanted to maintain their original primitive death metal sound.
After the break-up, the band lay dormant until 1997, when Phil Anselmo of Pantera contacted Killjoy and said he would like to collaborate on a new Necrophagia album. This was eventually written and recorded as "Holocausto de la Morte".
Killjoy passed away on March 18, 2018. The band's future is currently in question. | |
