| Band biography |
Finally the band signed an one album deal with Velvet Music (France label) in June 1998. But in the next month, Daniel Silva resigned from the band because of personal reasons. And so only 2 members left on the band's debut album entitled "Onset of Putrefaction" recording sessions. A machine programming was used to create the drum part. It took August 1998 - April 1999 to have the completion and Velvet Music unleashed it to the masses in November 1999. The response was incredible. "Onset of Putrefaction" consists of 8 mega brutal death metal songs that mankind couldn't imagine before. It's very technical in the way of guitar riffings and solos, also have a lot of complex structures. Have you ever thought if Dream Theater, Suffocation and Cryptopsy joined their forces? Necrophagist is the answer! Necrophagist has it all!
February 2000, Slawek Foltyn (drums) and Mario Petrovic (guitar) joined the band and began to learn the Necrophagist songs. May 2001, Velvet Music has closed its door, and Bruno (the label owner) sold the "Onset..." copyrights to Adipocere Records (another France label).
Mario Petrovic left the band as well due to lack of time for rehearsing. Bjoern Vollmer will fill his part, who played a guest solo on "Extreme Unction" from the "Onset Of Putrefaction" album already. He is progressing quite fast and will be able to join the band on stage very soon.
Slawek Foltyn has definitely left the band due to the bad recovery from his injuries. As far as he can't tell when he'll undergo further surgical treatment, he decided to leave the band and let Daniel Silva (former Necrophagist) get a full member again after helping out since Slawek's accident.
Necrophagist is working on new tracks for the 2nd album, whose recording is expected to start around December this year. 4 new songs are nearly completed and need to be arranged; preliminary titles would be "Stabwound", a sonic attack unmatched in brutality in the vein of "Foul Body Autopsy", a title from the debut. "The Deadborn One" is Necrophagist's trial to combine slow with fast tempi and melody with intense brutality. With "Diminished To b" the band's sinister and violent approach to progressive yet catchy tunes will be continued and driven to maximum. The tonal assault the new compositions will provide can be experienced at the coming live-dates.
Bjoern Vollmer (guitar) and Julien Laroche (bass) have left Necrophagist due to their obligation to university. Christian Münzner will fill the guitar part and is up to date already, but the band is still looking for a new bassplayer. If you think you have the skill to play the basslines, feel free to e-mail us. We wish Bjoern and Jul all the best for their future from here...
