Perverse Recollections of a Necromangler

Perverse Recollections of a Necromangler was recorded at Cape Studios located in Cape May, New Jersey, during February to April 2007. Two Robert De Niro films were sampled: Taxi Driver (1976) and A Bronx Tale (1993). According to the album's liner notes, no effects processing was used on the band's voices.[3] 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.

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."[2]

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]
