september 2004 – the album “Post-Mortem Homologated” is finally

released on the underground market, alas self-produced just like

the albums before it.

 

october 2004 – since the release of the first series of cds NPH is supported

by people with initiative  for the distribution of the album, even though

these people are not professional staff they involve themselves in

promoting the band at national scale.

 

november 2004 - NPH is invited to perform at Underworld, a club in

Bucharest, but because of some rumours invented by certain narrowminded

persons with preconcieved ideas, the image of the band is damaged and that

is the reason why the owners of the club give up the collaboration with

NPH.

 

february 2005 – in an interview on the site Metalfan NPH explaines that

those rumours concerning the ideas of the band were totaly wrong,

nothing but malicious lies.

 

march 2005 – because of the busy schedule of the members of the band

and the “cold” availability of a local organizer the band is refused countless

times to perform in its own city, because NPH didn’t respond when the

mentioned organizer lacked bands to carry on with his “cultural”

programme.

 

april 2005 – the band works at  some new tracks for the next album, in a

much mor agressive manner, both instrumental and lyrics for a sound more

like thrash.

 

may 2005 – NPH participates to the preselection for the TOP T Buzau fest,

as an year ago - in 2004 - it was an aniversary edition of this fest and NPH

didn't send a promo neither announced the intention to perform there, this

year – 2005 – NPH would like to celebrate their tenth aniversary in the

special athmosphere of the TOP T fest, but unhappilly it’s participation is

refused because of the lack of a good score.

 

september 2005 -  Metalhead - Live in Viking- NPH comes back to

Bucharest after a long period of inaction. At this event NPH has the chance

to prove its true value in a 100% live performance, 100% incendiary,

performing new tracks, in a hardcore metal style with thrash influences at

some passages. In here NPH was given the chance to celebrate the 10 years

of activity.
