NECROT brings their crushing death metal sound to the intimate confines of Backstage Bar & Billiards, one of downtown's grittiest rock venues. The Oakland-based trio has built a reputation for delivering raw, old-school death metal that channels the genre's late '80s and early '90s heyday while keeping things fresh and ferocious. Their approach is straightforward but devastating – thick, churning riffs, guttural vocals, and relentless drumming that never lets up.

Backstage Bar & Billiards in the Fremont East District provides the perfect setting for this kind of sonic assault. The venue's rock 'n' roll pedigree and no-frills atmosphere complement NECROT's stripped-down approach to extreme metal. The space is known for hosting heavier touring acts, and the combination of loud amps in a smaller room creates the kind of visceral experience that death metal is meant to deliver. Expect a crowd of devoted metalheads ready to headbang their way through a set of punishing, perfectly executed death metal.
