 
*Era of the Neanderthals (concept)* Rain Pohlak
- Basses and Vocals, Sandra Vungi - Drums
The debut "Neanderthals
Were Master Butchers" is a
concept album concentrating on the darker side
of the longdead Neanderthals. Real facts mixed
with bizarre fiction create stories about
Neanderthal defleshing burial rites, their
butchering habits, decapitation of the last
Neanderthals in Neander Valley and about the
return of that ancient menace in the form of
neo-Neanderthal zombies. NEOANDERTALS use no
guitars, instead 'utilising dual bass guitars
with moist, borborygmic gutturals, appropriately
barbaric riffs and tendon tearing blastbeats,'
to quote Baz from Diabolical Conquest 'zine.
"Neanderthals
Were Master Butchers" was recorded
on July 3, 2006 at Matrix Studios in Tallinn,
Estonia. The band put the finishing touches on
the CD in August 2006, 150 years after the first
Neanderthal fossil finds in Neander Valley in
August 1856. Mixing and mastering was handled by
NEOANDERTALS mainman Rain Pohlak. It was the
first and last NEOANDERTALS album for drummer
Roland Seer, who has now been replaced by
drummer Sandra Vungi.
