Cyber-dystopias, rogue industrialization, environmental cave in, surveillance capitalism…. The brand new international lurking forward is a depressing, grim and hopeless position and a few bands see it transparent as day gentle. Specifically the ones coming from the “2nd international”, or from international locations like Brazil the place infrastructure modernization from the globalized northern hemisphere nonetheless contrasts the awful post-colonial actuality of slums, hyper-crime, corruption and deviant capitalism, retaining countries ceaselessly torn between worlds and taking the most efficient sides of none of them. Don’t fear, we’re headed there speedy as smartly, because the social divide around the northern hemisphere worsens and sophistication friction intensifies, making the message of those bands as related and ominous as infrequently earlier than. One such band is São Paulo’s NECROTECH, who’ve unleashed a grim edict of implacable cyber-terrorism. Behold their completely crushing debut EP “Necrotechnolgy” streaming in complete for the primary time ever completely proper right here:
“Necrotechnolgy” harkens directly again to the incipit and glory days of industrialized audial oppression, when bands like Godflesh, Pitchshifter and Backbone Wrench have been in search of new tactics to transport past their squat and punk roots to additional voice and categorical the utter alienation and disillusion that used to be saturating Margaret Tatcher’s 80’s UK with unheard of heights of social strife and sophistication abuse. Heavy steel and punk therefore have been fused with the reality-detaching experimentalism of Throbbing Gristle and SWANS, and a brand new legacy used to be created to deal with a brand new actuality the place crushing and dissonant riffs coming from early grind and anarcho-punk and mechanical dehumanized rhythms have been conjoined right into a sonic revolution that may turn into mythical and extensively imitated to this present day.
However don’t make the error to suppose that Necrotech are simply replicating a well-known taste. Quite, they’re advancing it. “Necrotechnolgy” in reality fills an empty area of interest and expands the way right into a realm of commercial steel suffocation infrequently noticed earlier than. The participants’ love for Godflesh and Nailbomb set the stepping stone, nevertheless it’s their lengthy operating historical past in Brazil’s crust, stench and loss of life steel underground scenes that did the remaining. Influences from Deviated Intuition‘s and Bolt Thrower‘s stench-infused neck-snapping megaton riffs and from Apshyx‘s sluggish, agonizing dirges got here including ulterior burden and oppressiveness to their song, in the end yielding and encompassing beast this is similarly crushing simply as it’s darkish and inescapable. Simply bear the catastrophic violence of “Fatal Industries” or the the eight-plus mins of the colossal remaining observe “Hateful Spectacle of Intolerance” to pass judgement on for your self if this band’s hasn’t simply harnessed without equal realm of dystopian cyber terror and of overall commercial steel suffocation.
“Necrotechnolgy” releases formally day after today Friday January 17 2025 by means of Sentient Damage international (get it HERE or HERE).
