The French city of Valence standing on the shores of the river Rhône and guarding the northern gate to the sunshine filled Provence seems an unlikely place to spawn artistic works of rotten darkness. Yet when harsh vocalist and guitarist Vlad conceived NECROWRETCH his inspiration drew from extreme sources such as Finnish brutalisers IMPALED NAZARENE, NIHILIST and MARDUK from Sweden as well as Floridian death metal acts.
Vlad was joined by drummer Ilmar in 2013 and NECROWRETCH immediately hit the scene hard when their debut full-length ‘Putrid Death Sorcery’ arrived with a massive impact in the same year. Their strong roots in the underground were emphasised with a following compilation of earlier material under the name ‘Bestial Rites 2009 – 2012’ (2013).
With their sophomore album ‘With Serpents Scourge’ (2015), NECROWRETCH added some musical twists and turn that showed some influences by Swedish black death pioneers such as DARK FUNERAL, DISSECTION, MÖRK GRYNING, and UNANIMATED.
Now the French are getting ready to record their third strike. Brace for impact, NECROWRETCH will return with a vengeance!
When my old buddy Kenn Jensen asked me if I wanted to contribute to the new site he had created, then called powermetal.dk, I didn't hesitate. My love for metal music was and is great. I wrote my first review during the summer of 2004 (Moonspell's 'Antidote' album). In 2015, I took over the editor-in-chief role.
