Zarraza – Necroshiva Review

“Quick, what’s the first thing that comes to mind when I say ‘Kazakhstan?’ I’d bet good money the majority of you would reply ‘Borat’ to that question. Fact is, many of us know very little about the largest landlocked country in the world (thanks, Wikipedia!) despite the fairly major economic power the country represents. Maybe it’s because metal is not a popular thing there. Despite its 18 million inhabitants, the Metal Archives lists barely over two dozen active bands, with the only one of any prominence, the prolific classic metal act Holy Dragons. Zarraza does not intend to put up with that, nor with anything else, judging by their furious debut Necroshiva.” Thrashistan.
