Nekrotika

Nekrotika was formed in late 2002, and play Death Core (a fusion of Death Metal, Hardcore and Punk Rock).

Original plans for a Black Metal sound were shelved and a more grinding, hardcore sound was spawned from the bowels of a collectively diseased imagination. Nekrotika released a a demo album Destroyer Of Worlds, recorded as a 3-piece, in mid 2003.

Spawned in 2002, Nekrotika was formed in New Plymouth and has had many members, the first line-up was a 5-piece that was hacked apart and reduced to a 3-piece line-up that recorded the first album Destroyer of Worlds. That was released on a limited edition run by Demon Nation Music in 2003, recorded live to no-track it quickly became a must-have item amongst metal fans in New Plymouth and a few copies found their way around New Zealand via live shows. It was rough, raw, brutal and bloody.

Shortly after that another guitarist was added and as a 4-piece Nekrotika recorded the Nekrotikill Dominion album. It took longer to set up the mobile recording studio than it did to record the whole album. The 1 Take wonders tried to put overdubs on the album, but there was no need, it was as heavy and brutal as it needed to be. After almost 2 years of being unable to mix it due to the producers other commitments, the album saw the dark of day.

Despite some line-up changes the band were back on the live gig scene and slaying audiences with their No-Frills Death Metal played by Punk Rockers style. Nekrotikill Dominion is the only album still available, with the death of band’s bass player the group disbanded after a final tour.
