NECROT releases their much-anticipated LP “Mortal”! Formed in 2011, NECROT shares pedigree from multiple bands in the Bay Area death metal scene. Relentless buzz saw guitars, blast beats, fitting leads, and vocals from the 7th realm of Hell. NECROT proves themselves once again as a formidable opponent in the death metal genre period.

“When we first started, our goal was to play death metal and put out some tapes,” elaborates vocalist/bassist Luca Indrio. “We always wanted to write an album that twenty years from now would be remembered as a true classic of the genre. With Blood Offerings, we may have done that but with Mortal we have done that. Time will prove us right.”

“Your Hell” kicks off the album ferociously with not giving you moment to breathe. My personal favorite “Stench Of Decay” just has a great beat and is seriously fun to listen to. “Sinister Will’ has a punk back bead with time changes and everything you’ve been hoping for with an intricate guitar solo mid-way, rolling into “Malevolent Intentions” rendering you useless to resist from banging your head. The entire album is well mixed and technically proficient, but not getting into the tech-death camp. NECROT is firmly planted into in your face death metal. “Blood Offerings” is a fantastic album and I think NECROT set out and accomplished producing an album that will stand the test of time.

If you like bands like Bolt Thrower, Grave, Asphex, and Mammoth Grinder, NECROT is a band certainly for you.

I got to talk with Chad about the album, music and influences that you can check out here:

Terminal Nation comes in hot with “Holocene Extinction”. The album cover right off catches your eye with great artwork and a viney band logo, so instantly I was intrigued.

Not knowing their previously releases initially, I was extremely impressed with the band’s sound. Barking cavernous vocals, at times haunting guitar, brutal beats, Terminal Nation opens with a GREAT first track “Cognitive Dissonance’, giving you a taste of what to expect.

Terminal Nation is deeply seated within the Hardcore community and they bring their punk sounds and format with them as essentially the entire band shares vocals at times, while they take a few more steps into the Death Metal camp and other sub-genres.

‘Expired Utopia” channels some major doom vibes by slowing down, fuzz, and atmospheric drums, rolling right into another brutal track ‘Death For Profit”

While listening, I REALLY want to see these guys in concert. You can really hear that they put their all into the recordings and I can only imagine they will leave it all on the table live.

This album is a great example of multiple influences coming together cohesively, creating an absolutely brutal album.

If you dig bands like Bolt Thrower, Creeping Death, Power Trip, Gatecreeper

I got to sit down with Stans and talk about the album and music. You can check it out here:

When I think of Detroit I think “tuff”, no bullshit, along with the extreme amount of talent form a myriad of sonic genres and gear manufacturers from the region. Checking out the line from Poltergeist Amplification and talking with Jason, the gear they provide is exactly that, tuff and no bullshit.

These hand crafted products have been tested out and engineered for the road hardened musician or the person who is wanting to step up their game with serious quality that will last you a lifetime.

Jason draws from true touring experience and his own journey of finding his guitar tone.

You get to reap the benefits of his experience to enjoy monstrous tones from a variety of cabinets.

I had the privilege to sit down and talk about the music industry, influences, the “tribe” that is music lovers, and more.

Hailing from Denver, CO Earthdiver released their great EP “Leave Something Witchy” in 2019.

The much anticipated LP release has been out for a couple of months now and it hasn’t disappointed one bit. If you haven’t head, then I present to you “Lord of The Cosmos”

I instantly new I would like this band from their LP album cover alone with their psychedelic space Odin holding a charging Norman Crusader. There is as much going on when listening to the album as there is looking at the cover. Great distortion on the guitar and bass as the bass also punches through with cool time changes in tempo and vocals that sound like someones last screams in a cave.

It’s great, it’s wonderful, it’s fantastic.

With all of that said, the band draws influences from a wide gamut of music. At times tones of NOLA Sludge comes through, Sabbath-esk riffing and solos, with a dash hardcore/punk. Lyrics frequent politics, religion, the occult, history and mythology. The album comes in heavy with "Apparatus de Cultus" a stoner/doom single that anyone into the genre will love rolling into more of a fuzzed out in your face vibes with “Worlds Die Again”. The band gives you a touch of rest with a riffing jam “War Drums” that seamlessly transitions into “Cut The Bone Away” without you even knowing that you are listening to another track. Earthdiver revisits “Leave Something Witchy” and I honestly really like both renditions of this song from their EP and their LP. It’s a toss up on guitar tone, one sounds more like a Super Fuzz and the other sounds more Big Muff, both are great and it really just depends on the flavor you dig at the moment for me. I lean a little more toward the vocals from the LP version. They’re a little more unhinged, in a good way. “Blood Moon” starts out almost with a Jazzy feel then builds into a cacophony of fuzz for you to lean back and melt into your seat. “God of The Gallows” brings you back with Norse mythology and ending the whole experience with an 11 min track “Crusader” leading the charge into the abyss.

This album is a great listen, mixed well with lots of energy. Make sure to pick up a copy of the album! Vinyls are shipping soon on green vinyl with orange splatter with the stellar album cover art. You’ll want to see all of the details up close!

I got the chance to talk to Eric for a bit about music and the album.
