necro deathmort: ep1

Distraction Records are proud to present Necro Deathmort's first foray into the world of vinyl with EP1. It's yet another change of pace for the duo, supplementing their doomy ambience and whirlpools of 23Hz low-end with evil '70s filthy synths and harsh, pummeling '90s techno, with frequencies cutting, slicing and bursting all over the place. Think the likes of The Tuss, Goblin, Underground Resistance, John Carpenter, and maybe even Tangerine Dream, Surgeon, or The Horrorist. Necro Deathmort aka AJ Cookson and Matthew Rozeik are the duo that emerged from London's underground doom scene with a sound described by The Quietus as: "Veering seamlessly between dub-infused electronica, pounding sludge and experimental noise, their music is as intriguingly fresh as it is furiously grim." Their first album proper, This Beat Is Necrotronic, came out in 2009 on Newcastle's Distraction label; and picked up steam as a sleeper word-of-mouth hit until Aquarius Records made the album a "Record of the Week." Soon, NDM were very much in-demand, playing festivals and touring Europe, and going from strength to strength following their albums Music of Bleak Origin (2011) and The Colonial Script (2012). The last few years have seen Necro Deathmort play Sónar, Supersonic, Asymmetry, CTM, Soy, and Audioscope festivals, as well as internationally-renowned doom-fest Roadburn. They've remixed Steven Wilson, Ulver, RA, Dead Fader, and Altar Of Plagues. NDM have also played alongside Ulver, Atari Teenage Riot, Godflesh, GY!BE, Shining (NOR), Ufomammut, The Haxan Cloak, Dub Trio, dUSK, Sleep, Warm Digits, and Altar Of Plagues.
