Streaming Now! NECRONOMICON EX MORTIS Releases Hair Raising Horror EP “Silver Bullet”

Necronomicon Ex Mortis was formed by Michael Nystrom Bala out of a desire to combine elements of classic death metal, 80s shred worship, and gory lyrics about B-horror movies. Their debut S/T EP was released earlier this year and since there is no rest for the wicked, the follow-up EP “Silver Bullet” is upon us. The four tracks, presented with fury, were written specifically for this EP. They weren’t pulled from other projects or other albums, so that expectation was created going into the process. They strive to bring back the celebration of the twin guitar attack that bands like Iron Maiden and Racer X had. They share their excitement for the release:

“We’re excited to present this EP. We had a great time recording it and we feel live we’ve become even more comfortable with the music both individually and as a band. We think fans will notice the wide array of influences on this EP. We’re not just pulling from the same band or the same style of metal. Variety is the spice of life, kids.”

Necronomicon Ex Mortis was birthed when Bala wanted to take all his favorite things and have them in the same place. All his musical ideas, all of his favorite things about horror, and all of his favorite Paul Gilbert licks. He writes everything (Except for “Cycle of the Werewolf”, which guitarist Manuel Barbará wrote). He sits around and writes riffs and then does his best to rip off Yngwie and Paul Gilbert. He then asked Barbará to write the opening title track to a horror movie which he did with glee, spending the next 45 minutes going to town with his fretless guitar while his girlfriend tried to get him to do literally anything else.

This is just the start for the band, they have roughly 69 fully written songs ready to go that are both terrifying and titillating. You’ll be sleeping with the lights on after digging into “Silver Bullet”. It is recommended for fans of B movies, off-the-wall humor, The Black Dhalia Murder, Racer X, and Obscura.

“From start to finish, it really is a head-spinner and a heart-pounder, and some of the most fun you can have with your clothes on (though you might need to strip down and dry off after the EP is done with you.). If it wasn’t clear already, it’s damned clear after Silver Bullet that Necronomicon Ex Mortis is “a band to watch”. And if these peoples really do have 69 more songs fully written, bring ’em on!” – No Clean Singing

“Sit back and marvel at the eccentric sound of Necronomicon Ex Mortis as they take us on a wild, but brief journey of thrilling heaviness. Starting with a track about getting ripped apart by a giant undead ape called Crypt of the Gorilla God. It’s a thrashy and speedy opener that features some absolutely screaming guitar solos. An immediate example of the lovable nature of this EP and band. 8.5/10” – Games, Brrraaains & A Head-Banging Life

“A tale of primordial monsters living in the dark waters, “The Swamp” finds Necronomicon Ex Mortis at their storytelling finest, evolving a tale in classical fashion while having some moments in the guitar work that wouldn’t be out of place if they were written by Scott Carstairs for a Fallujah record. Somehow they have taken the bare bones that surround them and carved them intro intricate designs that leap between Metal sub-genres with death defying consummate ease. There is so much depth and texture than you’d usually expect to find in these songs… You have to wonder just how long it will be before these Gentlemen find themselves playing the Summer Slaughter Tour because that’s exactly where they should be [8.5/10]” – Metal Noise

“Necronomicon Ex Mortis have shown with Silver Bullet that they want to hit hard very quickly. The pieces are striking and make you want to discover more very quickly! We hope that the European public will respond to the call of the Americans and their desire to immerse us in horror stories worthy of the 80s. We wish them the best and we encourage you to dive into their universe!” – Sounding Shivers

“Thrashy death metal with catchy groove” – The Mosh Pit 89.9 FM (Madison, WI)

“The fusion of Death Metal and shred is intriguing” – Amplified Magazin
