Necromantia Rotting Christ - Primordial Evil

Review by Dan Price

Primordial Evil is a collaborative album by two of Greece's most prominent black metal bands, Necromantia and Rotting Christ. The album seamlessly blends the unique styles of both bands to create a dark and atmospheric sound that is both powerful and haunting.

The album opens with the track "The Nereid of Esgalduin," which sets the tone for the rest of the album with its eerie, ambient soundscapes and powerful, driving rhythms. Throughout the album, Necromantia and Rotting Christ showcase their individual strengths, with Necromantia's use of orchestral arrangements and Rotting Christ's heavy use of melodic guitar riffs and atmospheric keyboards.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "The Necromancer," which features haunting vocals and a driving, almost tribal rhythm. The song builds to a powerful crescendo, with the use of choral vocals and a driving guitar solo.

Summary by Dan Price

Primordial Evil is a must-listen for fans of black metal and fans of both Necromantia and Rotting Christ. The album showcases the unique talents of both bands and creates a dark and atmospheric sound that is both haunting and powerful.
