Nekkrosis

Bio:

.. We are ..Nekkrosis... A 4-piece metal band from a small town where hopes and dreams come to die. .. We formed in 2003, for a laugh more than anything else. We were inspired not only by our favourite bands, but also what we wanted to hear our favourite bands do but never did. .. We started off with a very sludgecore sound, maybe due to the fact that early practises usually deteriorated into nothing more than bong sessions with a beat. But as time passed and the fog of smoke cleared (for everyone other than Griff anyway) we found a more death metal edge creeping into our sound. Our lyrics were and still are a very tongue-in-cheek affair. They represent our personalities, our sick sense of humour and inability to take ourselves ..too.. seriously. .. Once we'd found our feet musically we went on to play gigs all over the country and developed a chaotic, intense and warped live show, our gurning on-stage persona either charming or offending anyone we played to (usually the latter). When we had enough songs we recorded a few rough demo's with the help of good friend and local musical genius Dave Cleaton (aka ..Sub Version..). .. With these demo's we managed to grab the attention of legendary knob-botherer ..Russ Russell.., and soon went on to record our first official EP, .."Left To Rot".., with him behind the desk, which we released through small independant label ..Attic Records.. in 2006. .. It was received well by critics, earning 7/10 in ..Terrorizer.. and 9/10 in ..Rocksound... Standout track "..Crossgender.." also received air-play on the ..Radio 1 Rock Show... .. Later on in the year we played a set on the unsigned stage at the ..Bloodstock.. open air festival, and in december we supported ..The Berzerker.. on their 2-week UK tour, gurning, grinding and sweating to a slowly more appreciative audience each gig. .. 2007 was a bleak year for the band, starting with a large amount of equipment getting stolen (Ash had the same guitar nicked twice in 2 months!?), then due to a lack of interest and desire to concentrate on other things in his life, vocalist Dan parted ways with the band. All this happened while we were planning to record our debut album. Metaphorically speaking we were quantra-spazzed on a life-glug. .. We decided to continue with our plans to record the album, once again with master turd-polisher Russ Russell bothering the knobs. We managed to find a replacement for vocalist duties in old friend and notorious small-bean regarder Jamie Stuart. He came to the studio with us and recorded half of ..'Technotic Subversion'.., but due to personal reasons he also had to part ways with the band. .. So in 2008 Griff began re-writing the new material to suit one vocalist. We completed our self-financed debut and were impressed with the results, but we found ourselves with no real way of getting it out there, we had no label or management as we had parted ways with ..Attic... .. Fortunately, Russ's attention had rubbed off on his good friend ..Shane Embury.., ..Napalm Death..'s longest serving member and founder of ..FETO.. records. Shane liked what he heard, and after some disussion agreed to release our debut album through ..FETO... .. ..Technotic Subversion.. was released on 23/03/09. ..

..Reviews for "Left To Rot"..

"At the heart of every town and city across this land, there's the eternal struggle between the moshers and the townies - rock against over-produced, meaningless garbage. Leading the fight for small town metalheads are Rushden-based Nekkrosis, whose shitstorm of razor sharp riffery, acid-gargling vocals and defiantly non-conformist lyrics will hold a place in every smalltown mosher's heart. Sitting somewhere between the extreme grooves of prime Pantera and the almost mechanical riffery of vintage Fear Factory, this is bloody impressive stuff" ..9/10 Rocksound Magazine.. .. "There's something very British about the total unpretentiousness of newcomers Nekkrosis. This is immediately apparent from the collection of silly track titles they have up their grubby sleeves. Behold, "Satan's Mate", "Trendy Townie Fucks" and "Fight The White" - the latter being a song about smoking weed by the way. Such light-hearted titles and the rather demo-like appearance of this MCD really don't do the band justice, and the five somewhat sludgy metal tracks here are tight, focused and well-judged affairs that prove a more serious commitment than the rest of the package would suggest. The excellent dual vocals and solid, intense rhythmic riffing provide a winning combination and the production serves the band well, giving the songs real punch. "Left To Rot" combines elements of punishing DM with the doom-infused groove of Eyehategod, heavier Pantera and even Orange Goblin, resulting in a lead-heavy punch. Whether the humorous approach taken by the band is something that should be applauded or left well behind in the future is something we'll leave to you ..7/10 Terrorizor Magazine.. ..
