\u201cFuck, produce and then you die,\u201d<\/em> slurps Necrot\u2019s vocal fiend Luca Indrio as once again we are thrown into the bowels of another full-length studio album from this Oakland, California-based act. You just can\u2019t go wrong with this sort of sodden sound as the trio drags us through seven songs, most of which could have done with a bit of trimming. Even so, this is another bludgeoning slab that has that Autopsy-styled graven gloom attached to its folds so that the bass and riffs rumble like a brewing storm.<\/p>\n

This is fetid, murky yet engagingly simplistic as the stench of damp soil fills the nostrils to the soundtrack of opener \u2018Cut The Cord\u2019. It\u2019s pacey yet efficiently manky in design as Necrot hastily constructs abysmal structures. The title track follows with more rotten pace as Indrio snarls \u201cYour womb is a grave\u201d<\/em> to an avalanche of Chad Gailey\u2019s drums.<\/p>\n

A majority of tracks offered operate with some sort of pace, but it\u2019s the macabre chugging on \u2018Drill The Skull\u2019 which really provide the most morbid of entertainment. \u2018The Curse\u2019 also spews up some steady, rhythmic pulsating as instruments work in tandem to create a dismal groove.<\/p>\n

There are some understated melodies within this album too, especially on \u2018Dead Memories\u2019 where the hook chills the bone before leaving mould in the ears. There\u2019s little technicality to the Necrot sound but if you\u2019re on the prowl for some truly organic material then you can\u2019t go wrong with the hyper death of \u2018Superior\u2019 or the miserable rattle of \u2018Winds Of Hell\u2019 with its cold spine of black melody and earthy thuds.<\/p>\n

Like wading through dish water or snorkelling in drab lagoons, Lifeless Birth<\/em> just feels like a dimming light in a stifling airless tomb, and that\u2019s the best compliment I can pay Necrot\u2019s stale, stinking latest release.<\/p>\n
