With a nice release date of Halloween 1998, Killjoy & Co. (including a rumor of Phil Anselmo A.K.A. "Anton Crowley---?") have returned with their longly-anticipated follow-up to "Season Of The Dead" - full length. "Ready For Death" other releases were in between, but this new 8-track spin is truly unique despite some of the lame reviews I read in trendy-ass magazines. If you don't know what Necrophagia is all about, you shouldn't be in music. One of metal's truly influential bands as so noted by many thrash and death metal notables. Killjoy is even more demonic and guttural on this on and with more eerie-laden music to set yourself up to be a sacrificial lamb. "Season Of The Dead" is all by itself, this is the '90s, so like it or leave it for what they've done on this release. A band to be rediscovered! Red Stream, Box 342, Camp Hill, PA 17001-0342 USA.
