No remorse and no regret is carved in the minds of all those taking part of the extreme metal ways of impressive US gore death outfit Exhumed. All of the elements that made Exhumed previous outings such a noxious joy are present and encountered for.

The Carcass/Death-like melodies (?) running through all the brutality on brilliant opener “Coins upon the eyes” and the variation on second track “ The shapes of deaths to come” prove just that within the album's first few minutes. What's more impressive is that hardly a track goes by without a couple of memorable, distinctive passages; the album is a joy to listen to, and delivered with great impact and you are thrown into the best components of death, thrash and a little bit grind. If anything, they’ve upped the rage to even greater levels. The band just totally delivers with thunderous numbers like “The rotting”, “Ravening” and “Sickened”.

Vocals are growling yet expressive, the mix and production are raw and very good, Exhumed may not be doing anything especially novel, but Necrocracy features such strong material, performed so well, that it doesn't feel the least bit derivative or insincere.

90/100
