This week we mourn and mark a place in metal history for death metal pioneer Frank “Killjoy” Pucci of Necrophagia. Check out Necrophagia tracks spanning from the band’s deathly 1987 debut through the recent White Worm Cathedral; side projects Wurdulak, the Ravenous, and Viking Crown with members of Immortal, Pantera, Nuclear Assault, and Autopsy; and Necrophagia tributes by Sigh and Incantation. Rest in death to master of dramatic horror-inspired intense metal! Know your Roots.
