Necrot are capable of sheer destruction but there’s a thoughtfulness to their songwriting, an intention beyond disgust and putridity. Lifeless Birth, their third album, is rooted in reality, an old school death metal record with a focus on modern times. Void of the cosmic, supernatural, and demonic, they explore the terrors of this world.
The time to catch up on the unabridged Post-Trash “Year In Review” has arrived, with all the releases we’ve grown to know and love over the past twelve months, from the smallest of DIY tape releases to the buzz bands and beyond. It’s all here… mostly. This is our comprehensive guide to our favorite records of the year without a pre-determined length.
The ambition of Necrot is high and can be read as pompous going into the album cycle for Mortal: create a death metal classic. All the necessary components in the genre are here. The riffs are endless and plentiful; there’s plenty of blast beats to pound against your brain; and of course the lyrics deal in the particular tropes of nihilism.
