Band Of the Week: Nine Necks

There are a few bands that I’ve had my watchful eye on for some time waiting for them to release new music. Well one of those bands have released a killer new single off their forthcoming EP. The band I’m talking about is Nine Necks. Originally from Chicago, now residing in the greater Los Angeles area, Nine Necks are one hell of a band. Their sound is very much rooted in hardcore with bits of post-hardcore and metal and even a tinge of mid/late 90’s emo (before the scene got taken over by the fashion victims and that awful hair swoop). Their new EP, Ritual & Demise was recorded with Alex Estrada (Touche Amore, Drug Church, etc.) at The Pale Moon Ranch and was mastered by Chris Common (These Arms Are Snakes, The Mars Volta).  The first single “Laid To Rest” is an absolute banger and has elements of Botch and Converge throughout. After the first listen, I had to play it quite a few more times as I found myself drawn into the heaviness and brutality. I’m very excited for this new EP from Nine Necks. They have been on the Audioeclectica radar for sometime and I’m pumped for what’s to come from this band!
