The engine roars, adding its primal, petrol-fuelled fury to the cacophony of the midnight streets. With menace in its very construction the car seems to prowl the pools of neon light, the sound of the devil\u2019s music blasting from it like a heartbeat. Hymns to lust, violence and rebellion rise up through the darkness, clawing their way through the watching windows, becoming a soundtrack to the sordid stories being played out behind the glass. The NECROSEXUAL smiles, tasting every warm, wet drop of passion, pain, desperation and cruelty as he passes. Hands on the wheel he rides through the hopeless, despairing dreams of the shadow people, trapped on a road to rubble and ruin\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Road To Rubble is the new album from Philadelphia\u2019s Necrosexual, a band that revel in the dark excesses of the metal mindset and ideology, bringing together overdriven guitars and irreverent belligerence, extremes of velocity with the blackest humour and resolute defiance. Lead by charismatic frontman, The Necrosexual, these creatures of the night have been rampaging through the metal underground with their intoxicating elixir of heavy metal, thrash metal and horror punk since 2011, releasing their debut album, GRIM-1, in 2018 – and they\u2019ve never sounded better than they do right now\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Opening with the primal riffs and bestial vocalisations of \u2018High Times In Hell\u2019, a song built from old bones but with fresh flesh upon them, Road To Rubble walks a weaving, drunken line between carnage and celebration. \u2018The Brimstone Brothel\u2019 combines a punk punch with blast beat madness in a tale of cannibalism behind the walls of an old west bordello and \u2018Kiss The Knife\u2019 is a burlesque carnival of horror and erotica with snarling riffs, driving rhythms and scything, melodic lead work. Each song is a step along the road to damnation, another mile into a hell curated by The Necrosexual; from the tattered majesty and epic tales of wasteland warriors that is \u2018All Roads Lead To Rubble\u2019 to \u2018Nocturnal Ignition\u2019 that shifts from moonlight and dust to muscular riffs, gothic drama and dirty punk sleaze. When the bloodthirsty dominatrix of \u2018Hard Leather Woman\u2019 has finished with you \u2013 a strident, ironclad, climactic conclusion \u2013 you\u2019ll be left scarred and bloodstained, with illusions shattered and eyes open to all that walks on the other side of the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mixed by Steve Roche (Blemish, Pariiah, Serpent Throne etc) and mastered by Arthur Rizk (Power Trip, Blood Incantation, Cavelera Conspiracy), Road To Rubble has an \u201880s metal darkness and bite, but with a scalpel sharp clarity and modern vivacity. It\u2019s a heady, hypnotic combination that will keep you crawling back for more. Adorned in the garish, gaudy, acid nightmare of Scott R. Johnston\u2019s vibrant cover artwork, Road To Rubble will be available on vinyl, CD, cassette and digital formats from the Necrosexual webstore in the US and on CD and cassette from Black Metal Archives in the UK. The Necrosexual party begins on February 27th \u2013 and no-one\u2019s going home\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
