Necromancy: In the Eyes of Death
God fucking bless Urbain Grandier, y’all. They are a Canadian label TRULY doing the Lord’s work. We all know there’s a lot of unearthed music out there and it’s rad to see it hit the light of day with labels like Sealed and Svart, among others. I spent a lot of time in high school seeking out obscure releases digitally, so I’ve really grown to appreciate the magic a physical piece of media brings to a release. These labels and people who have put so much time, attention to detail, and love into bringing back these obscure gems are saints in our record collecting world.
I’d never heard of the Urbain Grandier label until it hit the ‘New Tracks’ section of our newsletter. I’m so glad Daniel brought these records in because I’ve been spending a ton of time in the store spinning Necromancy, SFH, and the Metallic Assault compilation. UG knows how to find some absolute fucking fire. I wish I could buy all three, but the used records sitting in my hold pile are screaming to be brought home… decisions, decisions. I landed on grabbing the Necromancy LP because this shit sounds straight up evil. Something with it has resonated with me and I kept finding myself coming back to this demo. Daniel also wrote about this release in last week’s Featured Releases, but this album deserves another mention. The production isn’t great; it sounds very demo-y but you can tell that this band was onto something. I wish they released more music.
