Apocalyptic Raids worship from Brazil here on Necromante's debut, The Magickal Presence of Occult Forces. Evil, growled vocals, rapid drumming and thrashy riffs are what you'd expect and what you get with the additional of some sloppy playing (the drums lose the beat on several occasions, possibly intentionally) to up the authenticity. This is adequately executed but does nothing that hasn't been done a thousand times since '84 so unless you can't get enough of the first wave Black Metal revival, the appeal is going to be limited.
