News: NECROT: Blood Offerings Full-Length From Bay Area Death Cult Streaming In Full; Record Drops Tomorrow Via Tankcrimes

Bay Area death cult NECROT - founded by current and former members of Acephalix, Vastum, Saviours, Watch Them Die, Atrament, Rude, and more - will drop their anticipated second LP, Blood Offerings, via Tankcrimes.

 

In celebration of its release, today the record is streaming in full at the Tankcrimes Bandcamp page at THIS LOCATION or Youtube HERE.

 

In a recent 9/10 investigation of the record, Decibel Magazine gushes, "Blood Offerings is all old ground, but it is hallowed earth. We've heard everything played on this album before, but we've never heard it played quite like this. If you're that curmudgeon who keeps saying nothing can displace your aging death metal album collection, it might be finally time to buy a new record." Elsewhere the sentiment echoes. Indy Metal Vault calls Blood Offerings, "essential listening," Echoes And Dust crowns it a "modern-day classic," furthering, "Bolt Thrower played a simple, but highly aesthetic style of death metal. NECROT refreshes the template with a slew of quality, catchy riffs and accessible song structure that sounds quite original," while Paste Magazine notes, "Blood Offerings is classic, old-school death metal at its finest. Metaphorically, it's like putting your ear up to the chest of a rotting corpse and listening to the parasites eat it from the inside out. NECROT has recorded an album so putrescent you can almost smell it. "

 

The eight-tracks comprising NECROT's Blood Offerings were captured by Greg Wilkinson at Earhammer (Vastum, Graves At Sea), mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege (Nails, Gatecreeper), the album completed with unholy cover art by Marald Van Haasteren (Bolt Thrower, Baroness). Blood Offerings will see release on CD, LP, and digitally via Tankcrimes, and on cassette through Sentient Ruin Laboratories. The limited vinyl edition comes as a foil-stamped, gatefold deluxe LP available in four color variants: 150 in purple splatter, 350 in gold splatter, 500 in black, and 1000 in gold.

Two weeks following the release of Blood Offerings, NECROT will embark on the month-long Make America Death Again Tour with Denmark-based death metal tyrants, Undergang, running from June 30th through July 29th.

Forged in 2011, NECROT unleashed the audio bone-crush of their The Labyrinth full-length in 2016 via Tankcrimes. Spewing forth eight tracks amassed from three hard-to-find and long out-of-print demo tapes, the record reaped critical acclaim from fans and media alike compelled by the band's unrepentant Autopsy, Bolt Thrower, and Sacrilege worship. Decibel Magazine hailed NECROT's, "classic, bursting-at-the-seams, crawling-from-the-grave-still-decaying sound," while Invisible Oranges wrote, "NECROT are as old-school death metal as old-school death metal gets. Their songs would have been welcome presences on early classics by Master, Bolt Thrower, and Autopsy and yet, NECROT has a punk rock soul that refuses to die." Last Rites concurred noting, "Death by pitiless decimation is the principle mandate here."
