Necrot signs To Metal Blade Records; Band To Appear On Decibel Magazine Tour 2026.

Oakland death metal trio, NECROT, has officially joined the Metal Blade Records roster, marking a powerful new chapter for one of the underground’s most distinguished death metal bands! The signing coincides with NECROT’s upcoming appearance on the 2026 edition of the 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 US 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 conjurors, Fulci, and new death/grinders, Blood Monolith, for a devastating run across North America. The journey includes several NECROT headlining dates scattered throughout.

Formed in 2011 in Oakland, California, NECROT features former members of Bay Area acts Acephalix, Vastum, and Saviours. The band’s debut LP, Blood Offerings, reached #29 on the Billboard Hard Rock chart and #4 on Decibel Magazine’s Top40 Albums of 2017.

The band’s most recent studio output, 2024’s Lifeless Birth, continues their ascent to the forefront of American aural extremity, pushing the boundaries of style and continuing to recast metal in their image. Lifeless Birth earned the #3 spot on Billboard’s Top New Artist chart upon its first week of release. Elsewhere, the record took the #4 position on the Current Hard Music Albums chart, #6 on the Independent Record Label chart, and more. Recorded with Grammy-winning producer Greg Wilkinson — who has helmed all three NECROT albums — and mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege, Lifeless Birth pivots fluidly between technical intricacy, progressive poise, and all-out brutality.

NECROT has toured the world with such acts as Cannibal Corpse, Carcass, Municipal Waste, and many more, solidifying their place in the modern metal scene.
