Killjoy has been spreading the gospel of horror movies, gore and splatter for twenty years now through his own creation Necrophagia, a band that has reached the cult factor in the extreme metal underground. Today he is joined by a multi-national line-up consisting of musicians from Japan, Norway and Italy, further accentuating how well known Killjoy is throughout the world. This mini album opens up with "Sadako's Curse", a brutal and violent track that is quite typical. Then follows two ambient tracks which have little to do with metal at all where Mirai Kawashima lets his creative mind flow free. The soundtrack to a killing? Necrophagia is more or less a musical tribute to horror movies and as Friday the 13th is approaching fast I am slowly getting into the right mood for some chilling fear while listening to these five samples of audial violence. There is some good music presented on this mini album and especially the vocals add an extra touch but it feels a little as if this is merely a preview of what is yet to come with the next full-length album from the legendary American deathsters. Slow, doomy, sludgy death metal is what Necrophagia is all about. They do it well and I am already looking forward to what should be a bone-crushing and neck-breaking album where no mercy is shown.
