After the release of their previous singles 'Deus Ex' (feat. Sven of Aborted/Coffin Feeder) and ‘Fat God’, featuring Alan of Distant, the Swabians of Necrotted serve up another treat that may have little to do with spaetzle, but tastes just as good: ‘Zeitenschlächter’.

A blackened death anthem with lyrics written in both English and German, it nestles in the ear canal with its melancholic, dark melody and modern brutality. Tearing breakdowns, shredding guitars, infernal blast beats and inhuman screams and roars form a sonic thunderstorm that is more reminiscent of a ritual than a song.

Lyrically, the new release ‘Zeitenschlächter’ is about a godlike, ancient being that exists beyond space and time and has been amusedly watching humanity destroy itself for centuries. Wars, betrayal and suffering are its pastimes. It is neither good nor evil – just the relentless echo of transience itself.

The new single was recorded by Marco Bayati and mastered by Marco Kollenz. Kriss Jakob (Aurora Motion Pictures) is responsible for the music video.

Melodies that stay in the ear, with at the same time merciless speed and brutality and always a clear political message – this is what the modern death metal band Necrotted from Southern Germany stands for now more than 15 years.

Founded back in 2008, the band from Abtsgmünd (Baden-Wuerttemberg) has since grown to become a notable force in the scene, constantly thrilling their growing fan base and the music press with both their musical releases and their energetic live shows. In the time of their existence, Necrotted have already released four albums with Anchors Apart (2012), Utopia 2.0 (2014), Worldwide Warfare (2017) and Operation: Mental Castration (2021) and two EPs with Kingdom Of Hades (2010) and Die For Something Worthwhile (2019). In addition, the quintet has played hundreds of live concerts over the years on smaller and bigger stages in various countries.

Their latest album Imperium marks another milestone in the band’s history. The LP is once again designed as a concept album and consistently develops the elaborate storyline of its predecessor in a substantial as well as in a visual way. Also, Necrotted continue to tread experimental parts in a musical way. Their proven recipe of melodic guitar riffs, thundering blast beats and oppressive slams is joined by more and more black metal elements. In the lyrics, which are basically written in English, there are also more and more text passages in the German native language, which are performed as usual in banefully deep growls and strident screams. ‘Imperium’ was released in September 2023 via the label Reaper Entertainment and left a resounding echo in the field of contemporary, diversified death metal.
