NECROT – Lifeless Birth – LP

The brilliant third full-length strike Lifeless Birth by California’s death metal machinery NECOTR. Hailing from Oakland and featuring seasoned underground figures linked to acts like Vastum, Mortuous, or Acephalix, the band delivers a masterclass in classic old school death metal. They seamlessly blend melodic old school hooks, crushing tempos, and a raw punk-fueled intensity. The sonic blueprint was captured with massive, organic dynamic range at Earhammer Studios by the legendary engineer Greg Wilkinson (Autopsy, Static Abyss). Topped with a stunningly bleak, intricate cover painting courtesy of the world-renowned artist Marald Van Haasteren. Released on vinyl format via the ever-reliable Tankcrimes label.
