Taberah have procured legions of fans since their meek beginnings in 2004.
After touring Australia extensively, the band chronicled their early years of blood, sweat, beers, and tears in their debut album The Light of Which I Dream. Their sophomore effort, Necromancer, is a mature offering that effortlessly eclipses their juvenilia.
This album is a headstrong response to the dwindling demand for honest old-school heavy metal. Burning in the Moonlight, Warlord, and the title track were my personal favourites, with a notable mention awarded to My Dear Lord - which opened up with some ethereal vocal harmonies.
Necromancer is an exuberant album at heart. Its grandiose grooves and vocals are punchy and inspiring for the most part, but they can grow excessive. Despite possessing the most forgivable of flaws, Necromancer is a conscientious release that emanates the true flair of heavy metal.
Taberah have managed to produce an eclectic album in the vein of Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath, varnished with a signature, modern twist.
