Decibel Magazine:
“This record is slammy, gory, and ultimately heavy”
Antihero Magazine (2025 – ‘Upheaval of Malignant Necrambulance‘):
“‘Upheaval of Malignant Necrambulance’ is a triumphant return for Necrambulant, reaffirming their place as one of the most unapologetically brutal bands in the underground death metal scene. By blending relentless heaviness with horror-driven narratives and a touch of dark humor, they’ve crafted an album that feels both familiar and refreshingly refined. This album is a must-listen for fans of Devourment, Kraanium, and Cephalotripsy — or anyone who craves the heaviest, most grotesque corners of brutal death metal. Necrambulant has risen from the grave to deliver a ferocious reminder of why they remain a force to be reckoned with.”
Musika (2025 – ‘Upheaval of Malignant Necrambulance‘):
“Necrambulant knows how to pound and the breakdowns fly around a person’s ears”
Wonderbox Metal (2025 – ‘Upheaval of Malignant Necrambulance‘):
“It’s near-impossible to stay still when Necrambulant are playing. The band’s slam is all groove and blast, making for songs that are hard to listen to without a huge ugly smile on your stupid face. Some of the riffs and dynamics are waaaay above average for this sort of thing. Necrambulant know how to write a good tune it seems. Honestly, it’s damn good stuff. Murderously good fun, I’m fact. I can only imagine this being explosive live. Don’t miss this is if you’re a fan of Analepsy, Devourment, Dying Fetus, Extermination Dismemberment, Pathology, Relics of Humanity, etc.”
Toilet Ov Hell (2025 – ‘Upheaval of Malignant Necrambulance‘):
“The various songs contained within Upheaval are loud, unrelenting death metal compositions with a sound somewhere between the original blueprints of Cannibal Corpse and Suffocation and the new school of gore-ish degeneracy a la Abominable Putridity and Cerebral Incubation.”
The Headbanging Moose (2025 – ‘Upheaval of Malignant Necrambulance‘):
“Enjoy this relentless record presented as an anthology of horror, gore, and slamming Brutal Death Metal by an amazing American band that describes their sound as ‘Inhuman Slam Grind’.”
Necromance Magazine (2025 – ‘Upheaval of Malignant Necrambulance‘):
“You will do well if you put on your doctor’s coat before starting because this promises to splash, here you will undoubtedly find all the traditional elements of the style, be it the ultra guttural voice, guitars both fast and slow and heavy, gutting catchy rhythms along with a hammering and intense rhythmic base… There will be nothing you won’t miss if you are a fan of the genre… ‘Upheaval of Malignant Necrambulance’ is the title of the second and new album by NECRAMBULANT, which will be liked by followers of various corpses and bloody zombies such as DEVOURMENT, KRAANIUM, EPICARDIECTOMY…”
HeavyMetal.dk – 8/10:
“Necrambulant’s zombie sludge works really well even… The short playing time both saturates the senses and calls for multiple re-listening, whereby it only gets better. At the time of writing, I am listening to number ten and am still discovering new details. It is certainly not a record for everyone, but if you like Devourment, Danish Guttural Slug or Paediatrician, this will land as a new favourite. It’s great to be pleasantly surprised.”
Dead Rhetoric (2025 – ‘Upheaval of Malignant Necrambulance‘):
“Necrambulant do right by the genre and showcase what is the most fun aspects of it, namely the bouncing between frantic blasts to devastating slams all while inhuman gurgles bellow over it, and really does a nice job of capturing the masters of the craft… While slam is a pretty niche spot in 2025, it’s great to hear some newer bands that still can showcase it for the visceral explosion that it is.”
Metal.it (2025 – ‘Upheaval of Malignant Necrambulance‘):
“‘Upheaval of Malignant Necrambulance’ flows pleasantly and has that devastating impact that every work of this type should possess.”
Teeth of the Divine:
“The songs on Necrambulant’s comeback release, ‘A Feast of Festering Flesh’, are excellent slam filled sludge… The EP cover is also gruesome and nasty… if you’re looking for slam-filled sludge in the vein of Sanguisugabogg, Cephalotripsy and all the Russian slam bands combined get this EP. It’s fun, heavy and slamming. Brutal shit!!”
Brutalism:
“Necrambulant exists as a means to get drunk and turn out fascination of gore, violence, splatter, and zombie flicks into what some define as the coining term for Necrambulant; ‘INHUMAN SLAM GRIND’. Ya dig?…It will intimidate and dominate as the harsh sounds unmercifully take hold but with more than just a warm embrace! It’s eagerly challenging and forthright and the band have held on to their reputation, although showing similarities in the tracks there is only so much you can do whilst snorting to a barrage of unruly riffs and tight drumming – so fair’s fair I think its absorbing and definitely worth a listen or sixteen!”
Wonderbox Metal:
“Well well. If this isn’t one of the heaviest starts to one of the heaviest songs ever. ‘Epoch of Nihilistic Cosmic Failure’ has quite the opening. US band Necrambulant play Brutal Death Metal of the Slammiest Slam variety that ever did Slam. Or something. You get the idea. The sound of this début album is absolutely huge. You can almost feel the zombies pressing into your flesh like a physical presence. The riffs are so fat, bloated and outright heavy it’s amazing that the speakers don’t sink into the floor just by transmitting these festering, dense sounds. The tracks are all about finding the heaviest and most brutal ways to play Death Metal, and everything else is of secondary concern. That’s not to say that all of the other elements to the songs are unimportant or poor, it’s just not the priority here. I mean, they even find ways to sound heavier than normal when going fast. Most of this album is a complete chug-fest though, and it would sound boring if it weren’t for the fact that it’s just done so wel… All I can do is recommend that you turn the volume up enough to make your ears bleed and sit in a darkened room until the music just takes you. Once infected by their zombie-plague you’ll be bouncing around like a motherfucker with the rest of us.”

The album is an anthology of all that Necrambulant represents – horror, gore, and slamming brutal death metal.
“Musically, we incorporated a full arsenal of both death metal and slam to further define our original descriptor of ‘Inhuman Slam Grind’. Lyrically, the album has something to offer on many levels of thematic brutality; zombies, serial killers, cannibals, sci-fi, and Warhammer. Musically, I would describe it as ‘relentless’.We think our new full-length will be well received by fans of our earlier work. We put out our somewhat experimental EP back in 2022 to a very mixed bag of reviews. We had kind of expected that particular release to receive some heat, as it was a bit of a departure from our previous sound. For the EP, we wanted short, to-the-point, less modern-sounding slam/death metal. We wanted it to have the sound of something like a reanimated corpse that had been lying out in the desert, dried out, dusty, and decayed; that was my approach to the vocal sound and some people dug it while others hated it. But with the new album being more of a return to form, our hopes are that it will be more well-received among fans who have been with us since the beginning as well as something fresh for our newer listeners to enjoy as well. The new album is just a relentless barrage of slamming brutal death metal. We really strived for a no bullshit, no filler track list that will just pummel the listener with heaviness.”
The artwork for the new album is a landscape of gore:
living and dead – human and non-human.
“I contacted Nev of Gruesome Graphx with a general idea of what I wanted to incorporate into a scene (guts, gore, death, all those types of adjectives) and let him take the reins with it. He came back with a few different ideas and the first one he threw our way was an immediate ‘YES’. So he deserves all recognition for the art, as he absolutely knocked it out of the park with what he created for us.”
‘Amalgamation of Gruesome Curdling Abomination’:
“The theme of this song was largely inspired by a combination of the 1988 remake of The Blob and John Carpenter’s The Thing. The story is about an extraterrestrial protoplasmic glob landing on Earth, growing into a monstrous carnivore ‘thing’ that starts to mimic the forms of all it consumes.”
‘Inhumane Creophagous Repulsion’:
“This song was inspired by a combination of BTK’s criminal history, ritualistic cannibalism, and the August Underground films. In a nutshell, it’s the story of a serial killer cannibal that breaks into a home, hides until it’s time to strike, kills the victims and eats them with a sense of occult fervor; believing there is some kind of life-force to be gained by consuming the dead.”
‘Catastrophic… / Epoch 0’:
“I wrote this song as somewhat of a continuance for our previous tune ‘Epoch of Nihilistic Cosmic Failure’. I wanted to take the theme of that song one step further and rather than being about the death of a star/solar system, I wanted to write a more fantastical ‘end of the entire universe’ story. The lyrics are written in a traditional story form with a Prelude and then the monologue of a primordial cosmic annihilator that comes from beyond our scope of reality to kill the known universe.”
‘Barbarian Brute Force Annihilation’:
“This is the first of the Warhammer 40k inspired songs. I wanted to write a story based on the World Eaters faction of Space Marines, since they are probably the most ‘death metal’ of all characters in that universe; Just blood thirsty, rage-fueled berserkers whose only release is mass slaughter in the name of their patron deity, Khorne.”
‘Sentenced to a Gluttonous Pit’:
“This was actually the first song written for the new album. Lyrically, the theme came from watching movies like ‘Army of Darkness’ and ‘Return of the Jedi’; where there is some sort of criminal sentence of being cast into a pit containing something within that will consume you. In this story, it’s a septic pit that serves as both an open sewer for human waste and a habitat for flesh hungry zombies awaiting someone to be ‘sentenced to the pit’…”
‘Pestilential Ascendancy’:
“This is the second Warhammer 40k inspired song on the album. The focus of this one being the traitor Death Guard/Plague Marines. In my opinion, the second most ‘death metal’ faction in the 40k universe, as they are literally Death personified. Mutated, rotting, stinking, undead harbingers of plague and pestilence who aim to conquer the galaxy in the name of their god, Nurgle.”
‘Ineffable Tormenting Possession’:
“This theme comes from more of a personal place after I had experienced a massive anxiety/panic attack one night while trying to fall asleep. That night, I had an indescribable feeling of impending doom weighing down on me and my mind started to uncontrollably spiral. It was the feeling of losing control and being taken over by something malevolent – as if I were a passenger through my own eyes succumbing to insanity. Pretty scary shit. Thankfully, my wife was there to talk me through it, and the attack passed. The following day I reflected on the experience and felt like if there was ever a feeling of being ‘possessed’, in the mythical sense, then that was probably it. From there, I took that feeling and decided to turn that experience into a fictional horror story about a demonic possession. Thus, ‘Ineffable Tormenting Possession’ lyrics were written.”
‘Chunked Pus Chowder’:
“This is one that was written with more humor in mind than anything else. Really just a song that’s gross for the sake of being gross. Peter Jackson’s 80s films ‘Bad Taste’ and ‘Dead Alive’ (especially the dinner table scene) probably played a role in coming up with this one.”
‘Upheaval of Malignant Necrambulance’:
“Good old fashioned zombies. On the ‘A Feast of Festering Flesh’ EP, I had reworked the lyrics of ‘Infernal Infectious Necro-Ambulatory Pandemic’ into a revisioning with the EP’s ‘Necro-Ambulatory Slamdemic’, and that theme was based on the George Romero’s style of zombies. So, for the new album, I wanted to do another straight-forward zombie song based more on the occult-driven Lucio Fulci styled zombies. The story is exactly how the title sounds; a mass uprising of undead corpses taking over the world.”
‘Coffin Meat’:
“This song is about a cannibal hobo. The character goes from picking through dumpsters for a meal to robbing fresh graves for something to eat. You can never have too many cannibal songs on a Necrambulant album.”
‘Self-Biological Carnivorous Cannibalism’:
“This song was originally written musically and lyrically by Chad when we recorded our demo. It was eventually reworked musically for the 2013 full-length and has been re-worked again for our new album. The new version has a subtle update to the intro and I reworked Chad’s lyrics to better fit the music while keeping most of Chad’s original lines and adding some of my own. The theme here is that a victim is attacked and taken to a secret location to endure everlasting torture. In the story, the victim awakens to being chained to a table, tortured, and starved to the brink of death. They are then revived using human protein and byproducts to be brought back to health for the purpose of enduring the torture all over again. Rinse and repeat.”
Spat out of Arizona’s steaming gutters, Necrambulant formed in 2008 with Chad, Andy, and Ron as the core line-up.
Initially, the idea for Necrambulant was to be more of an early Decapitated style death metal band, but that idea never saw the light of day as the guttural slam appeal quickly took over by our first practice.
The three recorded the first demo in 2008 and, after various line-up changes, the band released a 2013 full-length titled ‘Infernal Infectious Necro-Ambulatory Pandemic‘.
In 2014 the band split and went on a lengthy hiatus.
Now, Necrambulant is back to once again spew forth horror & gore with their own strain of slamming brutal death metal.
