NECROVORE (USA/TX)
Necrovore was formed in 1986 in Texas, USA, and quickly became one of the most
important bands on the American underground metal scene. Frontman Jon DePlachett
held scene credits with MATRIX, MESODAEMON and DEATH CORP. They issued one
raw tape, recorded in the band's practice room on a four track tape machine in
March 1987, which ignited their own underground legend. The band's demo 'Divus
De Mortuus', recorded by a line-up comprising DePlachett, guitarist Scott
Humphrey, former OBSESSED DEATH bassist Ross Stone and drummer Scott Staffney,
is undoubtedly one of the founding bedrocks of the Death Metal genre. During
1988 the track 'Slaughtered Remains', a cleaner studio version, was contributed
to the New Renaissance compilation album 'Satan's Revenge Part II'. Line-up
changes in the Autumn of 1987 saw Humphrey superseded by ex-OBSESSED DEATH and
ANKOU man Bjorn Haga on guitar. With this roster, NECROVORE debuted live in May
of 1988 at the San Antonio Cameo Theater. The band commenced work on a second
demo session, but this would not be completed. Javier Villegas of HELLPREACHER
would man the drums for the latter stages of the band's original career.
NECROVORE folded in 1990.
