HOME OF THE ITALIAN GODFATHERS OF DEATH:
If you're talking about Death Metal and searching for a band to doubtless act for Italy, you can't do without referring to Natron as the most influential Italian band of the last 17 years.
Thanks to their remarkable presence in the scene with relentless touring and through their records Natron always maintained high quality standards and mainly came up with an exceptional blend made of early 90's inspired psychotic Death Metal riffs and unearthly horror moods built on refined and ultra-powerful grinding rhythmic grounds, and massive raged vocal patterns growling eerie lyrics; a constantly evolving sound that helped the band to distinguish itself from hundreds of other brutal death bands in the world scene.
Natron was one of the first death metal bands to emerge from Italy in the early nineties. Hailing from the proud igneous deep south, Natron formed back in may 1992 but the band truly got themselves into gear in November 1994 when , achieved a stable line-up, they unleashed the first demo named "Force", their first raw piece of grinding death metal. In spite of its gross sonic violence the demo allowed the band to surface the national underground and not late in the early 1995 a deal offer came from an Italian label called CSP. The band entered the Zasko Lab studio (Rome) in April 1996 and recorded new material for a mini album. The label deal actually revealed a rip off lasting for months , a period by the time which the band elected to take three songs from the previous recording and put out a new demo called "A taste of blood" in July 1997. This second demo marked a mentionable improvement and shortly after the Italian label Headfucker offered to release their debut album. In August the band went to the Nadir studio (Genova) to record "Hung, Drawn & Quartered" , their excellent first album that was released in December 1997 . As a consequence of this the band started to promote massively the debut album in Europe visiting countries like France, Belgium, Holland and Germany sharing the stage with acts like Mangled, Centinex, Edge of Sanity, Disfear, Kadath, Krabathor, Anorexia Nervosa and Sublime Cadaveric Decomposition. Natron started to strike favourably abroad so that in 1998 their weird death metal attracted the attention of Paris based label Holy records which turned up to sign the band for a four albums deal.
In march 1999 Natron entered the Abyss studios in Sweden under the precious supervision of Tommy and Peter Tagtgren (Hypocrisy, Pain) to record the follow-up to their debut, and one month later- as a preventive form of promotion - the band went touring Europe as opening act for their label-mates Septic Flesh and Misanthrope.
In June 1999 the second high-acclaimed album "Negative prevails" was issued and the band reckonized as a new school death metal talent. Enthusiastic reviews urged the band to enter the Abyss studios again in may 2000 to release their third album. "Bedtime for mercy" –out in November- marked a new step forward in the band's evolution, focusing more on experimental fields. Furthermore their previously announced mini album "Unpure" saw the light the same month of the year. What was supposed to be their real debut found the racks in 2000, finally out four years later on the Italian label Nocturnal Music.
During the following two years the band embarked for a couple of tours; in 2001 supported Septic Flesh for a French tour and in 2002 teamed up with German Necrophagist and Czech Intervalle Bizzarre all over Europe including Germany, Belgium, Czech Republic and Slovakia. In order to celebrate Natron first ten years of career, in november 2002 Holy records released "Necrospective", an album featuring all the material published by the band previous the Holy records era. To properly support "Necrospective" Natron teamed up with Czech mates Pandemia for an European tour ( Czech Rep., Germany, Poland, England, Holland, Belgium, France, Italy) in January, August and October 2003(including a stormin’ gig in Bordeaux with Exhumer, Cephalic Carnage and Inhume).
On spring 2004 Natron joined forces with with Austrian grinders Mastic Scum for a new trek over Europe and introduced the songs from the upcoming album to the audience of Belgium, Germany, France, Austria, Switzerland and Italy. In June 2004 the band recorded their 4th full-length album in Italy at the local Jolly Roger studio and went mixing it at the Starstruck studio in Copenhagen ( Denmark) with producer Anders Lundemark (Konkhra). Two weeks later, in July Natron performed the wordwide famous Obscene Extreme festival in Czech rep. Finally in November 2004 the new heavy-weight "Livid Corruption" was out and its release date celebrated with an opening live-set for a Suffocation show in a hometown club. By this sort of blessing "Livid Corruption" was mostly enthusiastically reviewed and many are still considering this new chapter as the highlight of the band, needless to say German Rock Hard Magazine rated it as on of the best death metal albums ever released since the last 3 years and compared it to the Terrorizer's "World Downfall" grind masterpiece.
During the spring 2005 Natron started their extensive promotion plan for the last album by headlining at first an European tour through Italy, France, Holland, Belgium, Germany and Czech Republic, playing a bunch of summer festivals in Italy, France, Belgium with the likes of Zuul FX, Pungent Stench, Blood Duster and a memorable show with Obituary, at the czech Brutal Assault fest in august 2005. November 2005 saw the end of the deal between Natron and their label Holy Records after seven long years.
2006 begins with a new tour supporting Dutch deathsters God Dethroned all over Spain, France, Belgium, Holland, Italy, Germany, Switzerland and Austria, and late in the fall of the year a second tour supporting Die Apokalyptischen Reiter on their European tour between November and December.
Few months later in May 2007 Natron is back again on the road to proudly support NY legendary death metal masters, Suffocation for an extensive tour all over southern-eastern Europe including Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, Romania, Serbia, Macedonia, Greece, Italy, Spain and France. In July 2007 Natron performed the Italian Frozen Rock Festival, playing with Entombed, Schizo, My Dying Bride, Brutal Truth, Lacuna Coil and Meshuggah.
Throughout the last couple of years some serious line up troubles affected the band and also touring - which had always been a priority for the band and therefore afforded thanks to some session musicians-slowed down the writing process of the new album but after a short string of Italian gigs the "Italian godfathers of death" entered the local Golem Dungeon studio between March and April 2008 to record their long awaited come back album.Mixing session were held in July/August 2008 after performing the european best death metal meeting of the year,the Neurotic Death Fest (with Napalm Death/Cryptopsy/Asphyx/Behemoth,Hate Eternal/Dying Fetus and many others) and the local Sziget Sound Festival supporting Entombed again. During the fall Natron supported Deicide over their italian tour and performed two french festival in Nantes and Marseille sharing the stage with Inhume, No Return and many others.
In April 2009 Natron signs with slovakian emergent label, Metal Age Prod. for a 2 albums deal so the new album is expected to be out soon, stay tuned!!
