“I've worked eighteen months to write this album, it was a lot more difficult than the previous one since I wanted to push all the limits further, break all boundaries and deliver something as bestial as hell,” is how Vlad, vocalist/guitarist of French death metal commando NECROWRETCH summarizes his intentions for the band’s second full-length after gaining quite some attention worldwide for “Putrid Death Sorcery” (2013) and the demo/EP/rarities comp “Bestial Rites 2009 – 2012”. Preceded by the meanwhile sold-out “Even Death May Die” 7inch in October 2014, its title-track already hinted at NECROWRETCH’s more refined yet still utterly aggressive approach created with one, clearly defined artistic aim: “We’ve maybe drifted away from our pure death metal essence to make our own kind of unholy extreme metal. It simply has to be extreme, no matter what genre tag you put on it. The listener has to be drawn into something infernal he can't listen to without losing bits of his sanity!” Inspired by Swedish extremists like Merciless, Nihilist or Marduk over to Finnish legends Impaled Nazarene or early US brutality like Death, it is Vlad’s rabid screams, the fast played, occasionally even melodic black metallic riffing that defines their trademark vicious and maniacal sound. While NECROWRETCH’s roots reach deep into the underground scene, a German debut show with Asphyx, a mini-tour with Morbus Chron, notable festival appearances at Party.San 2014, the Fenriz (Darkthrone) curated Live Evil fest 2013, NECROWRETCH gathered many new followers over the past two years, no matter if they come from a death, black or thrash background. Developing constantly further, while remaining true to their original harsh and primitive sound, the trio is eager to expand its live activities to not just be another “underground gem” and is already scheduled for Wolfthrone festival in March 2015 and Hellfest in June: “For Summer 2015 we’re looking forward to play way more shows, conquer new countries and defile new souls...”, Vlad adds. While recording in France, Vlad, Amphycion (bass), and Ilmar (drums) decided for mastering in Germany: Temple Of Disharmony, owned by Patrick Engel (Asphyx, Desaster, Darkthrone), proved a reliable partner to realize their ideas and comfortable with their rigorous work ethic and merciless style. Vlad states about the recordings: “At the studio we played, screamed like there is no tomorrow, as if the world was about to end and the music was our testament. We were really mad and possessed, no kidding. Amphycion once was playing a bass part and something went wrong with the bridge of the bass. Instead of fixing it with a screwdriver, he grabbed a tube of mayonnaise and hit the bass like a psychopath, and the bass was fixed!” “With Serpents Scourge” offers more diversity, more musical twists and turns than its predecessor, more distinguished songs like “Black Death Communion”, the title-track, “He Thrones On Thy Sins” or the closing “Mortem Ritu”, at times even harking back to early to mid-90’s Swedish black/death made popular by the legendary No Fashion Records label (Dark Funeral, Dissection, Mörk Gryning, Unanimated). The cover art was again created by the ever faithful Milovan Novakovic and ultimately, NECROWRETCH have successfully crafted a more memorable and intense second album despite all its extremity. The French metal necromancers are back with another hideous summoning!

Unleashing the blasphemous might of execration in 2005 anno Satanas, Lord Ashir (guitars & vox) summoned two blasphemic infernal warriors Afreet (guitars & bass) and Belial Hatehammer (drums) to form a Black/Death legion and unleash the true strength of endless satanic odium: INFERNAL EXECRATOR was born! In 2006, after the release of the band’s debut Demo, “Thy Demonization Conquers” which was self-released (ltd. to 100 copies), “Blood and Soil” (Spain) unleashed “Thy Demonization Conquers” on pro-tape limited to 500 copies. “De Umbris Production” (Greece) re-released it in 2009 (150 copies on pro-tape), with bestial raw blood rehearsal tracks included from the EP “Antichrist Execration” (2008). INFERNAL EXECRATOR hellcomes a new warrior, Drakon (bass) into the Infernal Legion. Due to unforeseen circumstances, both Drakon and Belial Hatehammer left the legion soon after, leaving only Lord Ashir and Afreet for the Total Plague Of Total Destruction. Some session musicians helped out on the unholy path. With the help of Christslaughter (drums) the EP “Antichrist Execration” was recorded and released by “Pulverised Records” (Singapore) in 2008 as an MCD in a Digipack, limited only 1000 copies. The tape version including a button and a patch was unleashed under the cursed banner of “Croquemort Productions” (Canada). The 12’’ MLP was released in 2011 under the glorious satanic banner of “Apocalyptic Empire Records” (Norway), limited to 666 copies (first 100 on red and black vinyl, including an embroidered golden patch). After the blasphemous victory Afreet was axed out due to his loss of interest. Christslaughter (BLASPHERION) and Kommando Antichristo Xul (IMPERIAL TYRANTS) were summoned into the hell formation soon as the MCD was released. A new split with IMPERIAL TYRANTS was recorded and released in 2010 under the morbid banner of “Old Cemetery Records” (USA). Upon morbid silence due to some reason in 2011, INFERNAL EXECRATOR has once again arisen and begun their work of death. In 2012 anno execratus “6 Execrating Years of Irreligiousatanic Elites”, a compilation from raw live ritual tracks and two new goat worshipping tracks was released under the unholy banner of “Evildead Productions” (Malaysia) (100 copies). The pro-tape version was later released by “Infernal Waves” (France). INFERNAL EXECRATOR has invoked Necroshairan (guitar) for the legion for future ritual blasphemy. The productivity level rose again: A three-way-split with IMPETUO DESDÉM and TERROR SATAN (2012, Nyarlathotep Records, Brazil) and the single “Conglomeration Goatcult Profanextermination” (2013, Apocalyptic Empire Records, Norway) are proof that the cult is still alive and raging! In 2014, the satanic hate regiment has unleashed their first album title “Ad Infinitum Satanic Adherent”. This album comes with few pressing with different artwork, photos,format & bonus track exclusively.  Eastern Voice Production from Sarawak, Malaysia released the album consists of 9 destructive blistering tracks inclusive IMPIETY’s cover track from “Iblis Excelsi” Era strictly limited to 500 copies with 6 panel Digipack. First 123 copies come with an A3 poster & badge (Asian pressing). Dunkelheit Productions hailing from Germany released it with another artwork & bonus track exclusively & limited to 500 copies and first 100 comes with A2 heavy poster (European pressing). Apocalyptic Empire records from Norway unleashed the album on 12”LP format limited to 500 copies with different artwork as well a hidden track and first 100 are Gold vinyl. Rest are black vinyl. No rest and no mercy for the weak, the legion will strike again with their upcoming split releases soon.  INFERNAL EXECRATOR has desecrated few rituals together with IMPIETY, SURRENDER OF DIVINITY, PROCLAMATION, ARCHGOAT & SADISTIC INTENT and the band have annihilated their execration ritual in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines 

A constant driving force in the Belgian underground for over a decade they should be no stranger to most of you. After a demo and two EP’s, steadily crafting their skill, they released their lethal debut album on Invictus Productions. And now, this September, they shall grace our stage as one of a select few Belgian shows for this year.

“Evoking the ancient forces that lie at the core of true death metal, Bones conjures visions of primordial violence and sorcery. One can feel a broad range of influences, with a clear affinity for the darker acts that emerged at the genre’s dawn. Bones is the sound of triumphant slaughter, obscure magical ritual, and spiritual despair in the face of eternity. It is the slow crumbling of monuments across aeons, the stirring of primordial waters, and the howling of distant jackal gods. Be beckoned to this altar of death, from which flows the blood of crushed enemies...”
