NECROTUM zapowiadają nowy album

 

In their endless quest to push and support current underground acts that perpetuate the odor of vintage death metal, on January 22nd, 2024 internationally, Memento Mori is proud to present Necrotum's highly anticipated third album, Defleshed Exhumation, on CD format.

Hailing from Romania, the rancid entity known as Necrotum was initiated by mainman Filip Garlonta (Putred, Demoted, Vorus) in Brasov, back in 2019. Despite the fact that the band has only been around for four years, Necrotum have already produced an impressive output, including two albums and a number of shorter releases, getting tighter, danker, heavier, and more macabre over time, drawing inspiration from the likes of early Cannibal Corpse, Incantation, Wombbath, Broken Hope, and Grave among others, with the sole intention of perpetuating ghastly, downtuned, no-frills DEATH fuckin' METAL.

While it would be expected (and celebrated) if Necrotum stuck to those rancid guns, on their forthcoming third album, Defleshed Exhumation, do they become slicker and yet more twisted - ​tighter but also wilder, and ​perhaps more "evolved"....very relatively speaking! Because make no mistake, ​Necrotum are ​staunchly (and sickly!) death metal of a most '90s vintage, but whereas their preceding full-lengths could be slotted within the pantheon of early '90s death metal, ​Defleshed Exhumation takes a concerted path ​toward mid or even late '90s death metal. Think the likes of Monstrosity, Broken Hope, Mortal Decay, and especially Deeds of Flesh and pre-breakup Suffocation: undeniably fierce and punishing, but technical in ​a creepy and oft-slimy way. Not for nothing is the cover art created by Slimeweaver! Of especial note is the production on Defleshed Exhumation: this is about as slick and clean as you can get whilst retaining the core darkness and horror ​of classic ​DEATH METAL; if anything, those superlatively sharp edges only make that darkness & horror hit harder. Stomp in the slime and twist down into its depths with Necrotum!
