Bay Area death metal/punk trio Necrot unleash the follow up to Blood Offerings with the long-anticipated new full-length, Mortal. Recorded by Grammy award-winning engineer Greg Wilkinson (High On Fire, Autopsy) and mastered by Alan Douches (Cannibal Corpse, Cattle Decapitation, Mastodon) at West West Side.
Immediately, opening track “Your Hell” wastes little time in spewing the familiar disgusting tones that we have become accustomed to on previous offerings, with the meticulous “Dying Life” following with just as much savagery.

Bassist and vocalist Luca Indrio comments on shortest track and lead single for the album “Stench of Decay”:
“Stench Of Decay” is the smell of our world falling under the greed and senseless pride of men. It is the stench you smell in the morning when you realise that outside your door is nothing but ugly humans ready to deceive, steal, or even kill for a littlemore power or money. “Stench Of Decay” is what we have been breathing since day one and we will continue breathing it until everything and everyone we know and love inevitably disappears.
Highlight track of the album, “Asleep Forever”, comes crashing in with some fantastic intricate guitar leads and is overall perfectly executed.
The gates of Hell have opened and the riffs have come flooding in with “Sinister Will” engulfing anything in its path, with thunderous drums and blood dripping solos. Penultimate track “Malevolent Intentions” continues on with the fury before the last and title track “Mortal” delivers an eight and half minute piece of sheer death metal supremacy. On a personal point, I love the fact the Necrot have been brave enough to put such a long track on the album, something that isn’t explored nearly enough in death metal.

The band elaborate:
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 definitely done that. Time will prove us right.
Necrot have delivered a well-executed, albeit vile, death metal masterpiece.
Mortal is released August 28th on Tankcrimes
