Oakland, CA – Oakland death metal trio, Necrot, have officially signed with Metal Blade Records, marking a powerful new chapter for one of the underground’s most distinguished death metal bands. The signing coincides with the band’s upcoming appearance on the 2026 Decibel Magazine Tour, the band comments:

“It is extremely exciting to announce that Necrot has signed with Metal Blade Records! We’ve been a band for 15 years making Death Metal the way we want to and Metal Blade has been here for almost 45 years supporting extreme metal bands from all over the world. We feel confident that this new chapter will be great for us and we can’t wait to show you what we’ve been working on for our next album! We are looking forward to seeing you guys on our upcoming tour, 30 dates across the USA and Canada…and of course stay tuned for more announcements from Necrot and Metal Blade!“

Necrot will take part in the 2026 Decibel Magazine Tour, joining technical death metal pioneers Cryptopsy, Italy’s brutal death metallers, Fulci and new death/grinders, Blood Monolith, for a devastating run across North America.

Formed in 2011 in Oakland, CA, Necrot features former members of Bay Area acts Acephalix, Vastuma and Saviours. The band’s debut LP, Blood Offerings, reached #29 on the Billboard Hard Rock chart and #4 on Decibel Magazine‘s Top 40 Albums of 2017. They’ve toured the world with such acts as Cannibal Corpse, Carcass, Municipal Waste and many more, solidifying their place in the modern metal scene.

All of which is to say, next-level Necrot is exhilarating as a motherfucker. – Decibel Magazine

THE LABYRINTH is a completely solid, constantly surprising, five-star cut of the finest metal California has to offer, and one that pushes the boundaries of what OSDM can become with the right skill and orchestration. Necrot is killing, and learning fast, and they have nowhere to go but upward. – CVLT Nation

Necrot have succeeded in evoking the spirit of the early- 90s mop-haired death metal youth, oversized band shirts and sweaty stagediving from the genre’s heyday. Alongside classic DM revivalists Disma and Gruesome, it’s clear that Necrot treat their music work as a labour of love. – Metal Hammer

Necrot is one of the most-hyped death bands of the last 10 years, and this album gives you a good idea why. Everything here comes together as a modern death metal composition should. – Metal Injection

There’s a verve, a confidence, a nose-to-the-grindstone determination that’s evident in the songs the Bay Area trio writes. Their riffs aren’t the most dizzyingly technical or the most ignorant and mosh-baiting; they’re just the best. – Bandcamp Daily

Definitely a contender for death metal album of the year. – Metal Sucks

Necrot stands alone, simply wanting to rock. – Angry Metal Guy

If you’re looking for riffs with depth, groove and darkness that lifts the music above that of contemporaries, Necrot are set to deliver the goods. – Distorted Sound

Showcasing technical intricacy, progressive poise, and all-out brutality, this record has it all. – New Noise

The band just recorded a modern-day classic. – Echoes and Dust

Necrot can capture what makes old-school death metal so alluring while sprinkling in elements that make modern acts unique. – Your Last Rites
