Original 2011 press on black vinyl with poster, insert and card. Limited 800 copies

Straight up worship can be pretty tricky but I must say that War Master has quite an impressive debut album with their Pyramid Of The Necropolis which sounds like the album that Bolt Thrower never made. Hailing from Houston, Texas and featuring former members of legendary grindcore masters Insect Warfare, War Master make no bones about their sound. If not taking the name of a Bolt Thrower album as their moniker doesn’t give it away, the bands themselves declares War Master succinctly as “Death Metal. Bolt Thrower worship.” Clearly, this band hate surprises, which is odd, considering Pyramid Of the Necropolis is such a surprisingly excellent debt. The formula is taken straight from the Bolt Thrower-textbook: brutal, low-end driven mid-paced death metal with tons of groove, bursts of relentless grindcore and a no-nonsense attitude to songwriting. The hypothetical cudgel in musical form, used on your not-so-hypothetical cranium with relentless force. So ya know… Bolt Thrower. War Master are the perfect worship band because they have the right attitude. There is not one ounce of pretentiousness or any confusion about what they are doing. War Master treat the sound and the property like it is their own, and do justice both to themselves and to Bolt Thrower with this album. Pyramid Of The Necropolis is merely an open love-letter to the legends of English death metal, one that we all can enjoy.
