Background and recording

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 for use as an intro for two different songs: 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. The tracks "Blood Splattered Satisfaction" and "Chased Through the Woods by a Rapist" were re-recorded for this record, the originals were initially released on the band's 2006 demo.

Reception

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."

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."
