ossuaire_logo_web.jpg "Le Troubadour Necrophagophile" Initially released as a MCD in 2005, and sold out since a long time due to a quite confidential pressing, the first recording of OSSUAIRE is now available again as a tape, with reworked artwork. Expect four songs of old school Death metal with ferocious moments la old Morbid Angel, heavier war patterns la old Bolt Thrower, barbaric feelings, obscure atmospheres, and lyrics depicting the horrors and atrocities from the medieval times. Listen: http://youtu.be/wbtn-iE--T8 http://youtu.be/ZSvGw7NhkmM This comes as a black tape with sticker. The cover was printed on beige, 120 grams paper, to give a more "ancient" touch. Available against 2,50 Euros + postage from this shop: NIHILISTIC Distro - OSSUAIRE (Fra) Le Troubadour Necrophagéophile Demo tape. Death metal ossuaire_phto_web.jpg OSSUAIRE (Which translates as "Ossuary" in english) incarnates old school death metal darkness and brutality, from the depths of France, and emerged from nothingness in a time when few were concerned with the style. Their recordings deserve to approach more carapace souls, and possibly to plant the seed of medieval barbarity. The underground storms eternally. G.

Hello, Good morbid news! 101 copies of the OSSUAIRE tape have now invaded the underground! Don't be a desperate clandestine corpse and order a copy from this piece of Pure Fucking Death! https://nihilisticholocaustrecs.bandcamp.com Also three good reviews of this morbid tape have appeared: ZOMBIE RITUAL Blog: https://zombieritualzine.wordpress.com/2015/02/17/ossuaire-le-troubadour-necrophageophile-review CHURCH OF NOWHERE Webzine: Ossuaire - Le Troubadour Necrophagéophile NO NOISE NO GOOD Zine: Une réédition de chez NIHILISTIC HOLOCAUST de toute beauté vient de voir le jour ! Il s’agit de la démo d’OSSUAIRE, un groupe francais de death brutal qui avait sorti cette démo en 2005. Pas de seconde jeunesse pour cette démo, ce n’est juste qu’une réédition sans rien de plus. Pour ma part ça me suffit largement car parfois les rééditions se voient affublées d’un tas de merde dispensable en bonus. Musicalement c’est sauvage et totalement bien branlé, a un tel point que j’ai monté le son de mes enceintes jusqu’à un niveau quasiment déraisonnable.. Pour les voisins.. Paix à leurs amés édentées et déjà séniles que seules les couches adultes sauvent de la déchéances. Non j’aime bien mes voisins ! L'Eveil des Morts (Intro), Le Troubadour Necrophagéophile, Le Fléau, Necrofistum Prima Nocte,Trolla Infectum Phallus sont les titres qui garnissent cette démo quasiment indispensable tellement elle est sale et intéressante musicalement. Des démos comme ça j’en veux tous les jours. Tout est underground et pourtant le chant est démentiel sur chacun des titres. Il me fait penser à Chris Reifert, dans son approche crade. D’ailleurs la musique c’est un peu du Autopsy gorgé de testostérone. Ossuraire c’est bien, c’est bon et c’est surtout très éfficace. Alors si vous aimez les effluves de putréfaction, ou les gaz émanant d’un cadavre bleui par la décomposition, cette démo ne peut que vous ravir. Par contre si vous aimez la musique bien léchée, c’est aussi pour vous ,car je suis sûr que vous tirerez un plaisir honteux à écouter cette zik efficacement cradingue. Trades possible against other cassette releases. Write here: gabsk(a)wanadoo.fr Greetings. Gabriel

Ladies and gentlepukers, A very good review of the OSSUAIRE tape was published on the American webzine CULT NATION. Reading happens in there: http://www.cvltnation.com/barbaric-death-metal-ossuaire-le-troubadour-necrophageophile-review-stream/ Another good review will also appear in the next issue of German paper zine FATAL UNDERGROUND. You can see it there: Ist ja doch in letzter Zeit verstärkt mal wieder angesagt ,olles Zeug aus der Versenkung hervorzuholen und dies nun erneut auf Euch loszulassen ,zumal ja die Welle an old school Death Metal Veröffentlichungen erst so richtig begonnen hat ,an Fahrt aufzunehmen .Bereits 2005 haben die Franzosen das mit 5 Songs bestückte Teil rausgehauen und lassen uns Anfangs erst einmal mit Glockenläuten und leichten Windgeräuschen in Erwartung schwelgen .Dauert aber nicht wirklich lange und dann betritt man auch schon brutalere Wege .Recht dunkel gehalten ,zelebriert man dann Death Metal der alten Schule ,welche sicherlich zum größten Teil seinen Ursprung im amerikanischen Sektor wiederfindet .Gespickt mit massig fetten und vor allem brutalen Elementen ,zeigen die aber auch immer wieder mal ihre Fingerfertigkeit an dem Saiteninstrumente auf und legen ein paar echt gelungene Gitarrenarrangements an den Tag .Hierbei kriegen‘s die Typen dann auch vollkommen hin , die Atmosphäre der alten Death Metal Schule ganz deutlich hervorzuzaubern bzw. rüberzubringen .Gesangsmäßig wird hier natürlich im typischen tiefen Growlbereich herumgewerkelt ,was aber so halt einfach nur passt und auch so sein muss .Also ,ich bin schon irgendwie recht positiv bei der Mucke gestimmt , zumal ich mich halt erwische ,das ich nach den leider nur knapp 18 min . gleich noch mal die PLAY Taste gedrückt habe . Die Band hat(te) es auf jeden Fall wirklich verdammt gut drauf , auch wenn ihre musikalische Darbietung an sehr vielen Stellen doch verdammt stark an die Anfangsjahre von „Morbid Angel „ erinnert .Aber drauf geschissen ,die Mucke reißt mit ,macht an und bietet für ein Tape einen durchaus ansprechenden Sound .Dafür kann man getrost nen Plätzchen in seiner Sammlung freihalten ! ( LEO ) Cassettes and hand-cut flyers keeps on circulating in the intimate darkened rooms of the deep underground, Contact your local dust-dealer to procure yourself a copy. OSSUARY INFESTATION ABSOLUTE.

Hello, New reviews of the OSSUAIRE tape have appeared! BRUTALISM Webzine (Hol) This is a re-release of this French death metal bands 2005 demo tape, although listening to the tracks I would swear it was from the early 90’s. This is savage old school death metal. The production is perfect for the style, it’s creepy and earthy in all the right places and the music itself is like a dismembering ritual on a harlot from hell or at best the most daunting music to teach any particular person that pisses you off a real lesson in assaulting death metal! There are a few atmospherics, the title track ‘Le troubadour nécrophageophile ‘ is savage, with the brutality of the early Florida scene, the guttural vocal attack of later brutal death metal with an overall sound that’s sounds like war, especially with the blast beats added. ‘Necrofistum prima nocte’ again tugs at the heartstrings of the death metal purist, groovy and battering, even underneath some pretty raw production. Bolt Thrower may spring to mind, but that’s too easy, but you get the meaning, its getting towards that stage of naming every early 90’s death metal band as an influence, which I feel is from both sides of the pond, i.e. Europe and the USA. Refreshing is how I would describe this release, old school is bounded around a lot for bands that play a particular style, you may be fed up of hearing that term, but this is one of those releases that actually feels right to be tagged in such a way. The vintage is perfect and if you want to burst a blood vessel, bang your head and smash shit up, then Ossuaire know how to provide that perfect soundtrack. 4/5. Maul Madison CHAINSAW GUTSFUCK Newsletter (Chile) El primer demo de Ossuaire les va a volar la raja. Estos franceses saben lo que es tocar death metal oscuro, sin conseciones ni altibajos maricones. Gracias a Gab de Nihilistic Holocaust nuevamente por hacer llegar este material. Encontraras en estos 4 temas y una intro de momentos epicos de brutalidad como el antiguo Morbid Angel y esa atmosfera plagada de riffs intensos de 'In Battle there's no Law". La tematica se basa en los horrores y atrocidades del medioevo. Quizas el mejor demo llegado a Chainsa para este issue. MEDIEVAL TORTURE ETERNAL ossuaire_img

Greetings, I’m pleased to announce 300 copies of the OSSUAIRE tape have now invaded the underground! Worldwide. Check your local distros for availability, or directly contact me. Also more reviews have appeared: LA HORDE NOIRE Webzine (France): OSSUAIRE - Le Troubadour Necrophageophile - Death Metal - Chronique Webzine La Horde Noire VM UNDERGROUND zine (Holland): As said in our first issue, I admire underground tape labels like Nihilistic Holocaust from France. This time Gabriel of NH re-released the demo of French Death Metal act Ossuaire, who released this demo back in 2005. The booklet of the tape just has the right attitude, everything is illustrated and cut & paste. And it is printed on beige paper, to give it an ancient feeling. Mission accomplished! The demo consists of 3 tracks and an intro, all in a dark and obscure atmosphere. Although it speculating about the lyrics, but it seems to be about a damned and perverse Troubadour (a folk poet-singer), who tells about all the horrors and insupportable scenes he could see, and be involved in. Isn’t that hunky-dory! The atmosphere is definitely all about smelling the stench during the Plague-era. Music wise you can expect a mixture of old Morbid Angel and early Cannibal Corpse. So there is a bit of complexity as well as old school brutality. During “Le Flèau” you can hear some Bolt Thrower groove, but I would like to keep the Bolt Thrower reference only for this track. If you are a fan of tapes and 1990s Death Metal Torture, contact Nihilistic Holocaust for this demo. (Ricardo) Unbury the medieval hatchet, G

    • Whichever tier of thrash metal you consigned Sacred Reich back in the 80's/90's they still had their moments.  "Ignorance" & "Surf Nicaragura" did a great job of establishing the band, whereas "The American Way" just got a little to comfortable and accessible (the title track grates nowadays) for my ears.  A couple more records better left forgotten about and then nothing for twenty three years.  2019 alone has now seen three releases from Phil Rind and co.  A live EP, a split EP with Iron Reagan and now a full length.

      Notable addition to the ranks for the current throng of releases is former Machine Head sticksman, Dave McClean.  Love or hate Machine Head, McClean is a more than capable drummer and his presence here is felt from the off with the opening and title track kicking things off with some real gusto.  'Divide & Conquer' and 'Salvation' muddle along nicely, never quite reaching any quality that would make my balls tingle but comfortable enough.  The looming build to 'Manifest Reality' delivers a real punch when the song starts proper.  Frenzied riffs and drums with shots of lead work to hold the interest.


      There's a problem already though (I know, I am such a fucking mood hoover).  I don't like Phil's vocals.  I never had if I am being honest.  The aggression to them seems a little forced even when they are at their best on tracks like 'Manifest Reality'.  When he tries to sing it just feels weak though ('Salvation') and tracks lose real punch.  Give him a riffy number such as 'Killing Machine' and he is fine with the Reich engine (probably a poor choice of phrase) up in sixth gear.  For every thrashy riff there's a fair share of rock edged, local bar act rhythm aplenty too.

      Let's not poo-poo proceedings though, because overall I actually enjoy "Awakening".  It is stacked full of catchy riffs that are sticky on the old ears.  Whilst not as raw as perhaps the - brilliant - artwork suggests with its black and white, tattoo flash sheet style design it is enjoyable enough.  Yes, 'Death Valley' & 'Something to Believe' have no place here, saved only by Arnett and Radziwill's lead work but 'Revolution' is a fucking 80's thrash heyday throwback to the extent that if you turn the TV on during it you might catch a new episode of Cheers!

    • Full length number 19 from overkill certainly makes a splash in the energy stakes, I mean there's some modern thrash bands that are a good two decades younger than Overkill who can only hope to achieve the levels of spunk that New Jersey's finest produce here.  That in itself is an achievement, for a band of Overkill's stature and reputation to be able to still sound relevant four decades into their career is no mean feat.  Even in the albums weaker moments it never gets redundant and the energy levels remain high.  There's a real sense of a band in a state of some renewed vigour, helped in no small part by the addition of Jason Bittner on drums.  The former Flotsam & Jetsam skinsman is nothing short of superb throughout "The Wings of War" and seems to have squeezed a little extra out of the rest of his peers.

      The album kicks of with a great build to opening track "Last Man Standing" and for the first 4 tracks of the album the Overkill crew stomp, bash and groove their way to a solid level of consistency.  The lead work is of particular note and Blitz sounds as sneery and scathing as ever.  The album is well produced and mixed too with all parts of the thrash machine audible as the five piece hammer away at your skull with the usual blend of chugging riffs and infectious anthems.  


      There are weak moments as mentioned but they are more a victim of how good the strong tracks are.  In it's own right "Distortion" is a solid enough - if not slightly varied a journey from the last offering - but it just doesn't stand up well against a "Bat Shit Crazy" or a "Head of a Pin".  As the album draws to a close you get the increasing impression that the last few tracks are rescued really by some great solos and stomping skin work which is a shame because trimming of a couple of tracks may have made this less obvious. 

      4/5
