Necronaut
Posté : 06 avr. 2010, 12:13
C'est le nouveau projet de l'ex-batteur de Dismember Fred Estby, avec une tripottée de guests.
Regain Records has announced the signing of NECRONAUT, the solo project
of former DISMEMBER/CARNAGE drummer Fred Estby.
After more than 20 years in the death metal scene, Estby wanted to
express his passion for different kinds of extreme music he's bore since
his youth. In 2008, Estby started to write and record material with the
intention of having one unique vocalist for each song. Dubbed NECRONAUT,
the project would become a reality one year later when Estby began
contacting the many talented metal musicians he had in mind to complete
the album of his diabolic dreams. In short, NECRONAUT is a raw slab of
old-school metal and while the term "old-school" alone goes a long way
in accurately describing the sound that one should expect from Estby and
co, NECRONAUT is so much more. The band's approach is crude and dead
simple, a la early BATHORY and VENOM mutated with BLACK SABBATH and IRON
MAIDEN, but with an unorthodox bass-heavy production that allows the
album to stand out amongst its peers. The goal was primitive brute
force, but because of the manner in which Estby chose to achieve it, he
also managed to create an aura of pure malevolence that, prior to this
album's creation, was likely difficult to imagine.
Estby is currently finalizing the self-titled album for a late 2010
release. The cover artwork for the CD was designed by Chat Zar, who was
reponsible for creating the prosthetic effects for such movies as "The
Ring", "Planet of the Apes" and "Darkman".
Commented Estby: "The work of this album has been possessing me for the
last 12 months and it is turning out exactly as raw, heavy and dirty as
I hoped!"
