Interview - NECROT


If you don't already know Necrot, then see here first.

The band's drummer, Chad Gailey, kindly took the time to answer a few questions for us.

1. Blood Offerings has received such high praise, and it made so many end-of-year lists... rightly so, but then great music doesn’t always get the audience or acclaim it deserves - so you must be very pleased?

We are extremely pleased with the attention the record received this past year and up until now. We are thankful so many people bought and listened to the album and LIKED it.

2. How did you guys get together, and have you been together for long?

Luca Indrio and I formed the band in 2011 with Kyle House from Acephalix. Kyle left pretty early on and we didn’t complete the lineup again until 2012 when Sonny Reinhardt joined. 

3. Could you tell us about any of your previous bands (assuming you have previous bands)?

I was in a band called Bruxers from 2006-2012 before I helped form Necrot. I have also played in Vastum, Rude, and Caffa. Luca has always been in Acephalix and Vastum. He formed Lawless in 2012 with Dave Benson and Kyle from Acephalix but they only released a demo tape. Sonny plays in Saviours and was previously in Word Salad, Watch Them Die, and Vomblast. 

4. It’s a clichéd question, but who are your main influences (if indeed you feel you have influences)?

Nihilist, Immolation, Sepultura, Death, Bolt Thrower, Motörhead, Discharge, Slayer.

5. Who did the artwork for Blood Offerings? It’s outstanding.

Marald Van Haasteren. He’s an amazing artist and I’m so happy he did the cover for the album. 

6. Do you have any future plans which you can share with us?

We are touring Europe this September for a month and playing some festivals throughout the year.

7. Is there any chance you’ll be playing in the UK any time soon?

We will be in the UK in September!

Incantation - Unholy Deification [REVIEW]

Image
Following the  Tricennial Of Blasphemy  compilation late last year, Incantation are back. This time with their twelfth full-length, Unholy Deification. This band doesn't have a bad album, and the bar is particularly high going into this one - following 2020's excellent Sect Of Vile Divinities, and other modern classics such as 2014's Dirges Of Elysium. ...and it doesn't disappoint. If anything, it surpasses expectations. Aggressive-but-accessible; well-written, well-executed; and it flows very well indeed. Just the right amount of dirt in the production, and also just the right amount of sheen. It's great to see a band still making inspired music more than three decades into their career. You can stream the release below, and purchase a copy here .

Deicide - Banished By Sin [Forthcoming Release]

Image
Banished By Sin is album number thirteen from these death metal legends. It has been six years since Deicide 's last effort, and has felt like longer thanks to this one having been teased for so long - it was announced seven months ago, and we only got to hear the first single (which can be found at the bottom of this post) on Christmas Day. It will finally be released on 26th April, brought to us by new label Reigning Phoenix Music. The last couple of albums were excellent, so hopes are very high going into this one.
