Buy Nekkrosis - Technotic Subversion [Album] From Amazon.com

Utterly vile and disgusting! Violent and depraved! This is everything I’m looking for in a sludge-death metal band. Fuck yeah Nekkrosis! I love watching the live Nekkrosis videos. There’s this caged intensity from the vocalist Griff. Like a rabid badger. The eyes of Nol the bassist get all crazy as he screams along and waves his tongue ala Gene Simmons, but way more badass.

A de-tuned onslaught from start to finish, with a lyrical content that could make even the most jaded death metal fan blush. “Technotic Subversion” gang beat me in front of my mother’s house, and then sacrificed my corpse to Satan. No lie, true story. The steady massive grind of instrumentation underlines the evil sounds coming out of Griff's throat. “Technotic Subversion” has that kind of vocal styling that ranges from demonic, to the squeal of pigs. There’s groove here, too. Enough to please an auditorium full of Pantera t-shirts and Sepultura ball caps. Nekkrosis still keeps the technical, math underpinnings that have been a trademark of a great modern death metal act. Botchified and deep-fried. In “Death is a sexual preference” we hear an almost progish intro, complete with, yes; a ringing gong, magnificently offsetting the following blast beats.

Nekkrosis has range, as well as style. Well crafted transitional pieces create an admirable flow to “Technotic Subversion”. The monologue in “Re-animated flesh”, the school bells in “Ye Olde Skool Slaughter”, the aforementioned gong in “Death is a sexual preference” and “Technotic Subversion” all have a flow and groove rare to this genre.

This marks the first full length recording for Nekkrosis, and it’s been an epic one. One can only hope to hear such malevolence and craftsmanship from them in all their future endeavors.
