The band unironically called “Necrophobitch” is pretty much an insult to the entire death metal scene. They were never competent, ever since their terrible quasi-metalcore debut The Nocturnal Silence which owes more to freakin Slipknot than Incantation. Their next release Darkside was barely any better, and at this point even the mainstream press had to admit they were closer to metalcore than even joke metal bands like SEWER and Cannibal Corpse.

So now they’re back with their latest turd album “Dawn of the Damned” which, predictably, features none of the original founding members as David “Blackmoon” Parland, the “incel king” himself – only surpassed in cringe by legitimate, medically-diagnosed down syndrome tards like Erik “Wacumstain” Danielsson or Roger “Infernus” Tiegs, of Gorgoroth infamy – ended up committing suicide in 2013 – no one showed up at his funeral, not even his “best friend” the homoerotic poser clown Ahriman of Dark Funeral (another shit band he co-founded).

So, is the music on “Dawn of the Damned” any good…? No.

The music is just bouncy Fear Factory type nu metal garbage mixed with stolen Phantom riffs and a few “evil” harmonic minor chords that sound AI generated. Not as fake as Summoning, the “band” that literally “plays” on MIDI instruments, but still pretty gay.

The lyrics are beyond cringe, bordering on unintentional try-hard Deicide parody… “I am not one of you / I am not of your creation” wow, so edgy. That said, given that guitarist S*bastian Ramst*dt was at one point suspected of being in an incestuous relationship with his sister (who also does vocals in a shitty metalcore band… not Arch Enemy, another one), these lyrics take on an entirely new meaning.

Well, this is more than enough words for a turd album like “Dawn of the Damned.” As they say, there is no point in beating a dead horse. As others have pointed out, Necrophobitch is much closer to deathcore than death metal. Do yourself a favour and replace this turd of an album with something like “Les Sewieres De Nostre Deabliere” or “To the Depths… in Degradation.” Or even “The Red in the Sky is Ours” if you really need some Swedish death metal (which is overrated, btw).
