Necrocracy, the long-awaited new studio offering from West Coast ministers of blood, gore and audio disease, EXHUMED, officially drops TODAY in North America. Recorded at Arcane Digital Recording in Chandler, Arizona with Ryan Butler (Misery Index, Landmine Marathon, Phobia), with drums tracked at Trench Studios in Corona, California with John Haddad (Hirax, Abysmal Dawn, Intronaut), Necrocracy is inarguably EXHUMED’s most musically adroit, sonically punishing and lyrically thought-provoking recording of their winding, blood-soaked career.
Comments guitarist/vocalist Matt Harvey of their latest batch of repugnant requiems: “Seeing as how we recorded Necrocracy back in September and October of last year, a profound sense of relief is our initial reaction to the release of our fifth album, which, when pronounced correctly, will make the speaker feel like the roof of their mouth is covered in delicious peanut butter. We're super psyched on the heavy vibes and unhealthy aromas this record exudes and we hope all you filthy animals out there will feel the same. It's the hookiest, meatiest EXHUMED record yet, as far as we can tell.”
To order Necrocracy, point your browser to THIS LOCATION. The record is also available via iTunes HERE. And if you missed it, peep the monolithic and horrifying visual for “Coins Upon The Eyes”.
In related news, the band will be celebrating Necrocracy at their official release party August 8th in Los Angeles. The debaucherous evening will include a taste of the record in its entirety as well as Harvey at the DJ booth flaunting his exquisite taste in NWOBHM, thrash and grindcore. L.A. friends, don’t miss this!
Then, prior to their month-long North American takeover this Fall with labelmates Dying Fetus, EXHUMED will share the stage with extreme metal legends Carcass at The Troubadour in Los Angeles!
Elaborates Harvey, “We're stoked to be playing an exclusive West Coast show with some British band that people have been telling me about called Carcass. I heard their new song ‘Captive Bolt Pistol’ awhile ago and I think they're really onto something. I think they could really go somewhere given the right promotion and label push. Should be a pretty excellent gig. I think it was preordained a long time ago, so it's nice to see it finally come to fruition. The only thing I look forward to more than the show itself will be bugging Bill Steer about how he got the Symphonies of Sickness guitar tone in a drunken stupor at the inevitably humiliating after-party.”
