Following their 2004 masterpiece “Livid Corruption “ , the new “Rot Among Us” stands proud on his own amazing fury, always faithful to the original Natron band formula. The psycothic rifferama of the riffmaster Domenico Mele finds here a fertile ground. The new tracks are even more song-like structured, an armed assault still built on Max Marzocca’s blastbeats and earthshaking double bass and young talent Alyosha Danisi’s crushing bass-notes, somewhere complex somewhere straight in the face, but the whole album mood is fuckin rotten, nihilist and dark.
Production is massively clean and yet with a modern flavour supplying a new powerful definition and even when the band speeds up the whole instruments sound remains surgically tight and clear while eerie and disturbing Tardy/Obituary-esque vocals spit forth the lyrics all focused on “the end of this world” topics.
Originally inspired by Misfits punk core masterpiece “Walk among us” title – Natron have never hidden their love for certain 80’s hard core-punk bands , “Rot among us” armed with its power load of 11 tracks of Death/Grind fury calls into question man’s fragile hopes: religion, politics, future of mankind , creating a nightmare of Death/Grind Armageddon. Vocals are raw and painful, the new vocalist Nicola Bavaro put all his efforts into growling and shouting off the world outside the Natron own apocalypitic manifesto.
Always influenced by certain 80’s thrash metal ala Coroner,Voivod and Slayer and by the uncompromising brutality of death/grind 90’s masters like Napalm Death, Terrorizer, Suffocation, Entombed , NATRON are legendary purveyors of a unique blend in the world’s extreme scene. This is their most accomplished and focused album to date: uncompromised death metal brutality with a even more thrashin’ and grindin’ edge, rotting vocals and venomous lyrics.
