Review by 慎也 大野

Obscure Burial's Necrophagous Rehearsals 2012 is a brutal and unrelenting album that will leave fans of extreme metal craving for more. The Finnish band's sophomore release is a collection of raw and primitive black/death metal tracks that are sure to satisfy the most discerning of metalheads.

The album opens with the crushing "Night Queen" which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The band's trademark sound is characterized by fast-paced riffs, relentless blast beats, and guttural growls that will make any metalhead headbang till their necks hurt.

The production on Necrophagous Rehearsals 2012 is intentionally lo-fi, giving the album an old-school feel that is reminiscent of classic black/death metal albums from the '90s. The guitars are raw and distorted, the drums sound like they were recorded in a basement, and the vocals are buried deep in the mix, adding to the overall atmosphere of the album.

The album is not without its standout tracks. "Charnel Reflections" is a standout track that features a killer guitar solo that will make any metalhead's heart race. "Dweller in the Abyss" is another highlight, with its crushing riffs and haunting melodies.
