Nerocapra are a Death <etal from Turin, Piedmont, Italy and deliver their 4th full-length with ‘La Serpe in Seno’ (translated as: “the snake in one’s bosom.”). This album is out through Warhell Records and Wine and Fog Productions.
Necrocapra play this uncanny dark old school Death Metal with Thrash/Black metal influences and I spot references to early Benediction, Coroner and Celtic Frost.
The mix is rather raw, there are the Italian-language vocals which are very malignant and vicious, and there is the presence of drummer Roberto Ripollino (from Nihili Locus) who replaces the previous drummer. The other member is Mirco Rizzi who handles vocals and all strings and they recorded the album as a duo.
It’s more than a decent album in my opinion – the technical Coroner influences are omnipresent, there’s enough variation to the music and the production is solid and balanced. The album clocks out at nearly 26 minutes.
Those into old school Death Metal with a twist need to check Nerocapra out.
