With Lifeless Birth, NECROT continues their ascent to the forefront of American aural extremity, pushing the boundaries of style and continuing to recast metal in their image. Founded by bassist/vocalist Luca Indrio and drummer Chad Gailey in 2011 with guitarist Sonny Reinhardt joining the following year, the Oakland, California trio offers Lifeless Birth as a culmination of their to-date efforts to encapsulate and push forward the deathly stylings of 2020’s Mortal and their 2017 debut, Blood Offerings.

Recorded with Grammy-winning producer Greg Wilkinson — who has helmed all three NECROT albums — and mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege, Lifeless Birth pivots fluidly between technical intricacy, progressive poise, and all-out brutality. Scouring lead work will have thrash heads nodding knowingly, and an overarching groove reaches out across the metal microgenres with a righteous call to worship. Its songs are memorable and varied, unpretentious but able to rear up with statelier violence. At the same time, songs like “Drill The Skull,” “Cut The Cord,” and “The Curse” prove that just because a song is beating you into the ground doesn’t mean it can’t also be forward-thinking. Or catchy. As with prior NECROT works, Lifeless Birth features cover art by Marald Van Haasteren.

NECROT’s Lifeless Birth is now available via Tankcrimes, on LP in multiple vinyl variants housed in a golden foil stamped gatefold jacket HERE, on CD HERE, MC HERE, and digital HERE.

“Their sound is built on a sturdy foundation of formative influences – the punkish lurch of Autopsy, the mutant thrash of Possessed, the razor-edged erudition of Death. But after three albums of steady refinement, they’ve found their own corner to dominate.” – Decibel MagazinE

“…these three men are operating on a higher level of death metal dexterity, and “Lifeless Birth” is a near-flawless expression of their militant brilliance.” – BlabbermoutH

“… definitely a contender for death metal album of the year.” – MetalSucks

“NECROT is one of the most-hyped death bands of the last 10 years, and this album gives you a good idea why.” – Metal Injection

“The trio move from one immaculate bulldozing to the next, the riffs in constant motion as evil lurks and hope is inevitably swallowed whole by death and despair.”  –  Post Trash Album Of The Week

“The highly anticipated LP breathes new life into NECROT’s sound, working hard to push the boundaries of what metal can be, and succeeding in every way.” – New Noise Magazine

“…their third and most engaging record.” – Invisible Oranges

“This is steady as it comes, a full blast of death metal played with bloody fury and an emotional passion that, even while they’re peeling back your flesh, you can’t help but have a good time. NECROT survived a period that would undo most bands and delivered a devastating collection that has the band roaring back to reclaim what is theirs.” – Meat Mead Metal

“Lifeless Birth is just as punishing as the NECROT you remember. Still, their songs are catchier, more technical, and—at times—more progressive than ever. Indrio, Reinhardt, and Gailey have a knack for this death metal thing. And, again, they put out their best record after overcoming so much adversity—much respect.” — Last Rites

“…an early contender for one of the best death metal albums of the year.” — Heavy Music HQ
