Nekrodawn, the Swedish death metal band, is set to release their crushing debut album, "Sculpted By Torture," on May 31, 2024, through Legions Of Bane. Formed in 2022 by death metal veteran Jonas Kjellgren, Nekrodawn was created as an outlet for crafting old-school death metal riffage with a more brutal, crustier, and blacker vein, deviating from the standard norms of OSDM. The band's influences include Bolt Thrower, Crypt Of Kerberos, Demilich, Morbid Angel, Entombed, Mortician, and Vader, although their sound remains unique.
In late 2023, the complete lineup was finalized, featuring members and ex-members from legendary bands such as Interment, Centinex, Grave, The Crown, and Hypocrisy. The band recorded its debut album, "Sculpted By Torture," at Black Lounge Studios with Jonas Kjellgren during October and November 2023.
The first single from the album, "Origin Of Terror," was released on January 5, 2024, accompanied by a lyric video created by Andrea Mantelli. This fast and brutal track highlighted the band's prowess and was critically acclaimed. The second single, "Sacred Termination," released on March 22, 2024, was the first song ever written for the band, showcasing a slower, doomier style made of 100% Swedish steel.
"Sculpted By Torture" comprises ten tracks that explore dark and intense themes, with powerful riffs, guttural vocals, and relentless drumming. The band's sound is influenced by legendary acts such as Bolt Thrower, Crypt Of Kerberos, and Hypocrisy, ensuring a classic yet fresh take on death metal.
