Perverse Recollections of a Necromangler is the debut full-length album by New Jersey-based death metal band Waking the Cadaver. It was recorded throughout early 2007 and was produced by Steve Ryan and CJ Thouret of Necroharmonic Productions.
Background
Perverse Recollections of a Necromangler was recorded at Cape Studios located in Cape May, New Jersey during February to April 2007.[1][2] The two songs "Blood Splattered Satisfaction" and "Chased Through the Woods by a Rapist" were originally included on the band's demo that was recorded and released a year prior to this album.
Reception
The album received poor reviews and reception from critics. Daniel Cairns of Chronicles of Chaos gave the album a score of 1.5 out of 10 and stated "It's a boring buzz of crap riffs, shitty drumming and belched vocals. It's genuinely painful to listen to at times, and you yearn for something a bit more pleasant and musical."[3]
Allmusic, when reviewing the band's following album Beyond Cops, Beyond God, stated "Anyone who heard Waking the Cadaver's first album, 2007's Perverse Recollections of a Necromangler, would find it hard to believe that any label would pick them up. They were almost laughably inept."[4]
