Establishing the mood with a pirate radio style tag of the words, “NECROSOCIETY 2026 music…” with subversive and industrial textures, xX_WrldW4rNeCr0_Xx opens with intrigue and metallic energy. We immediately connect with the underground motifs and layered vocals with intricate, pitched production.
The composition holds boundless energy and we are completely hypnotized by sheer intensity of the track. With all eight members of NECROSOCIETY taking turns on the mic, the track moves between screamo, growling, crying, rapping, singing and distorted whisper-screams that feel otherworldly.
The production is unapologetically loud (bring back the loudness wars, we say), with assertive experimental elements giving the whole opus a distinctly abrasive edge. There is no attempt to soften the impact. This is futuristic hybrid-electro-metal at its core with notions of rap tapping into a genre-expansive identity.
What really interests us is the way NECROSOCIETY has helped establish an entirely new underground lane coining this as necrotrap. Apparently, more than 1,000 unaffiliated artists have since released music under the tag on SoundCloud. That’s what we call a movement.
Vocally, the cypher brings together 8SEEKER, KARATEL, TSARUICIDE, SENTFROMIRAQ, HXLX, BLODGEN, SCORN and KALAKOV, each contributing to the shifting energy. HXLX also takes care of production and engineering, with the entire project handled in-house and without label backing. Their self-titled album has already passed 176,000 plays, and the collective has maintained a Halloween release tradition every year since 2022. xX_WrldW4rNeCr0_Xx continues this tradition with plenty of venom.
We can imagine this landing a sync placement in films like Mad Max: Fury Road, The Crow, Mandy, Tetsuo: The Iron Man, Blade and The Matrix. On television, it could definitely feature in an episode of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, Doom Patrol, The Boys, Peacemaker or Black Mirror.
Fans of Ghostemane, City Morgue, Scarlxrd, Ho99o9 and Bring Me The Horizon should be able to connect here, but there is no doubt that NECROSOCIETY are not interested in playing by conventional rules and is manifesting a sonic universe unto their own design.
We have added xX_WrldW4rNeCr0_Xx to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TRIPPY playlist, whilst we continue to explore the wider discographies of all of the artists involved in the project, and anticiate future Halloween and non-Halloween releases alike.
