| | |
| | If flaccid, identikit, breakdown-laden "metal" is the disease, |
| | Necromancing The Stone is the cure. In fact, the quintet will take |
| | on any and all comers who dare sully the name of the mightiest of |
| | genres with anything less than 100% respect and commitment, and |
| | with debut full-length, Jewel Of The Vile, they throw down a |
| | formidable gauntlet. Taking a traditionalist approach imbued with |
| | flavors of thrash and death metal, every track they stamp their |
| | name on is a beast in the truest sense, built on gigantic riffs, |
| | pulverizing rhythms and the towering vocals of "Big" John Williams, |
| | paying their respects to the likes of Megadeth, Maiden and Anthrax, |
| | while creating something that is uniquely Necromancing The Stone. |
| | "Call it what you will, or describe our music however you feel is |
| | best, but to us it is just heavy metal," states guitarist Justin |
| | Wood. "It is riffs and melodies. It is sonic savagery worth banging |
| | your head to." |
| | |
| | Of course, any band comprised of players who have earned their |
| | stripes in outfits such as Arsis (James Malone, guitars), The |
| | Absence (Jeramie Kling, drums), The Black Dahlia Murder (Ryan |
| | "Bart" Williams, bass, formerly) and Brimstone Coven (guitarist |
| | Wood and vocalist Williams) carries some serious weight - though |
| | combined they transcend their origins, blending their talents but |
| | not the sounds they're known for. Moreover, despite living all over |
| | North America and with no "home base" to speak of, their shared |
| | passion for heavy metal destined them to gravitate toward each |
| | other. "The band doesn't particularly have one home. We are equals |
| | living in different cities, so we are 'nationwide,'" comments Wood. |
| | While the sheer grandiosity and epic scale of their music suggests |
| | they had similarly epic aspirations from the get go, the band in |
| | fact started out the way most of the best bands do: metal loving |
| | guys getting together to have some fun. "We wanted to make an EP |
| | [2014's 'Before The Devil Knows You're Dead'], and things came |
| | together so easily and effortlessly, and it picked up a lot of |
| | positive attention. Ryan, James, and Jeramie are known in certain |
| | circles as 'dudes who have played some really heavy fucking music', |
| | so what we put together may have caught some people off guard, but |
| | overall the vibe and reaction was great." Buoyed by this response, |
| | and aware that they had the material within them to make a killer |
| | full-length, they felt a duty to do so. That said, they set out to |
| | please no one but themselves, and if they happen to defeat their |
| | nemesis, Breakdownicus Gratuitous, along the way, then all the |
| | better. "At the end of the day it's just music that we dig, and |
| | it's what we feel is a unique version of heavy metal. We like it, |
| | and we hope the world does too, but that has not and will not sway |
| | our convictions." |
| | |
| | Their convictions led to the forging of Jewel Of The Vile, 55 |
| | fat-free, exhilarating minutes of metallic fury that stands toe to |
| | toe with the genre greats. From the moment the aptly titled |
| | "Crusher" rushes from the speakers, Necromancing The Stone own you |
| | - its frenetic energy and riffing a rush of pure adrenaline, its |
| | chorus triggering the spontaneous throwing of devil horns, and when |
| | the leads are let loose it's game over. In fact any time the |
| | fingers of the six-stringers are unleashed, the hearts of weaker |
| | guitarists are broken, uniformly delivering master classes in the |
| | art of shredding. "In approaching the solos, some parts were |
| | planned out and a lot of them were a total moment of spontaneity," |
| | states Kling. "We really just made sure our guitar tone was solid |
| | and nailed the takes, and while they're mostly double tracked, |
| | there are parts where both axe men are doing the lord's work!" A |
| | couple of the band's good friends were also brought onboard to help |
| | out in this department, with Taylor Nordberg (The Absence, |
| | Infernaeon) cutting loose on "Ritualistic Demise" and none other |
| | than Jeff Loomis (Nevermore, Arch Enemy, etc, etc) letting rip on |
| | "The Old One". However, there is much, much more to the record than |
| | guitars, and both lyrically and vocally, Williams makes a masterful |
| | contribution, immersing the listener in fantastical tales, |
| | comparing these to that found in fantasy novels, or in the playing |
| | of an intense game of D&D. "There are endless stories that could be |
| | written from the fantasy realm, and there are so many characters |
| | within this, and we tell stories of these characters and the |
| | situations they live through. 'The Sirens Call' is about the mystic |
| | beauties of the sea, singing their inescapable songs of lust and |
| | calling a man to his watery grave, while 'Rotted Reunion' is about |
| | a Necromancer who loses his wife to a horrible murder. It tells the |
| | story of how he loved her so, and he uses the skills he's learned |
| | over the years to bring her back from the dead. Then there's 'Fall |
| | To The Horde', about an army that has fought to protect the walls |
| | surrounding their city for many years, fighting the same horde of |
| | ogres and orcs that want to take it over - but this is a battle |
| | they know will be their last." Such epic narratives require a |
| | suitably epic delivery, and in approaching every one of them, |
| | Williams would get himself in the right mindset. "In order to feel |
| | and project the meaning behind the song, you have to imagine |
| | yourself in a certain part of the story, whether it be through the |
| | eyes of the Necromancer bringing his wife back from the dead or a |
| | fighter watching the mystic forces of his army raising spirits to |
| | fight for him." Adding an extra dynamic is the sparing inclusion of |
| | gruff death metal vocals, which are employed as characters within |
| | the stories - in "Rotted Reunion", it is the voice of the dead |
| | wife, while on "From Graves to Infamy" it is used as the screams of |
| | the souls fighting to save their land. These growls, however, are |
| | not generated by a single larynx. "James, Justin and myself all |
| | sing at the same time," explains Kling. "James has a great high, I |
| | have a killer low and Justin is right in the middle. The potion is |
| | of lethal proportions." |
| | |
| | Having signed with Metal Blade Records, Necromancing The Stone are |
| | embracing the opportunities before them. Forging ahead in the name |
| | of heavy metal, they are intent that a global audience be exposed |
| | to the greatness that is Jewel Of The Vile. Always vigilant to the |
| | fact that Breakdownicus Gratuitous continues to lurk on the |
| | periphery, their commitment is unwavering, and you can be sure that |
| | you will be hearing a lot more from them. "In the grand scale of |
| | things, the future is uncertain," states Kling. "But as long as |
| | there is a future then there will be Necromancing The Stone." |
