Oakland-based old-school death metal squad
NECROT,
featuring within its ranks current and former members of Acephalix,
Vastum, Saviours and Watch Them Die, has joined the Tankcrimes Records
roster for the release of their
The Labyrinth full-length.
Featuring eight tracks cultivated from three hard-to-find and long out-of-print demo tapes,
The Labyrinth
was recorded at Lennon Studios by the late great Jef “Leppard” Davis
(Abscess, Acephalix, Vastum) and at Earhammer Studios with Greg
Wilkinson (Brainoil, Annihilation Time, Noothgrush), mastered at Mammoth
Sound by Dan Randall (Ghoul, Toxic Holocaust) and will see release on
April 15th on CD, digitally and deluxe, foil-stamped LP. Fans of the
bone-crush of Autopsy, Bolt Thrower, Sacrilege etc. pay heed.
The Labyrinth Track Listing:
- Consume Control
- Contagious Pain
- Into The Labyrinth
- The End
- Cycles of Pain
- Scattered
- Rebirth In Chaos
- The Abyss
Formed by the initial duo of bassist/vocalist Luca Indrio (Acephalix,
Vastum) and drummer Chad Gailey (ex-Vastum), and subsequently rounded
out by guitarist Sonny Reinhardt (Saviours, ex-Watch Them Die),
NECROT
are one of the most punishing, savage and treacherous death metal acts
to ever tread Californian soil. Initially forged in 2011 as a
side-project of Acephalix,
NECROT have since then built
a devout following in their native Bay Area and beyond, and have become
known as a merciless and bloodthirsty death metal killing machine
thanks to their bulldozing live sets and their savage and butchering
recordings. Since inception, the band has only made their music
available as very short and hard to find demo tapes that are now
completely sold out, impossible to find and have become something of a
cult object or collector’s item, elevating the band’s reputation to that
of absolute cult and DIY monument in the Bay Area underground metal
scene. Taking cues from legends like Asphyx, Bolt Thrower, Grave,
Discharge, early Sepultura, early Morbid Angel, and Entombed,
NECROT have thus far existed as a power trio with the build and attitude of a bloodthirsty tank.
NECROT’s
music is a literal onslaught of buzz-sawing death metal riffs and
spine-rupturing rhythms – an authentic sonic bludgeoning that can batter
the listener’s flesh into complete submission within seconds, and which
owes much of its crude heaviness and primitive ferocity to old-school
death metal just as it does to (crust) punk.
