On June 7th internationally, Personal Records is proud to present Necrocene’s highly anticipated debut EP, Detrimental Paratomy, on transparent CD format. And now, the Death Metal Promotion YouTube channel streams the EP in its entirety: Necrocene (Ita) – Detrimental Paratomy (EP 2024) (youtube.com)
The „Necrocene“ is a term that evokes an era of unprecedented devastation and ecological decay. This epoch is characterized by its sinister dance of destruction, disintegration, and death that spreads to every corner of the planet. Human activities have triggered a chain of nefarious events, leading to mass extinctions, desertification, irreversible pollution, and the dismantling of the natural balance. In this context, wildlife and ecosystems are constantly subjected to a slow and relentless decline, casting an unsettling shadow over the future of Earth.
Necrocene, the Tuscan death metal band born in 2022, emerged with a harsh mission: to craft a sonic epitaph for the human devastation in the current era. Their sound is heavily influenced by old-school death metal gods, such as Death, Obituary, Autopsy, Sepultura, and Entombed, combining hammering riffs of intertwined guitars and bass with frantic mid-tempo drums. Strident vocals deliver a visceral sonic onslaught of the apocalyptic despair of our times. The mindset and sound gave form to their debut EP, Detrimental Paratomy, which explores the depth and persistence of world domination by capital, the deceptive tumor that devours us in a chain reaction whose only product is death. The EP was recorded and mixed by Hill Valley Studio between December 2022 and March 2023, and then mastered at Sügis Productions in April 2023. Featuring five swift tracks in 18 minutes, Detrimental Paratomy establishes its point with perfunctory precision – get in, get out, nothing fancy, but nothing lacking – and leaves the listener in rubble both physical and spiritual.
Necrocene’s sound may be „old“ (and authentically so), but their message is timeless. Fight it all you want, but Detrimental Paratomy is coming for you!
