Jewel Of The Vile / CD

If flaccid, identikit, breakdown-laden "metal" is the disease, Necromancing The Stone is the cure. With their upcoming debut full-length, Jewel Of The Vile, the group - featuring current/former members of Arsis (James Malone, guitars), The Absence (Jeramie Kling, drums), The Black Dahlia Murder (Ryan "Bart" Williams, bass) and Brimstone Coven (guitarist Justin Wood and vocalist "Big" John Williams) - plans to vanquish "Breakdownicus Gratuitous" with 11 tracks that are uniquely Necromancing The Stone."Call it what you will, or describe our music however you feel is best, but to us it is just heavy metal," comments the band."It is riffs and melodies. It is sonic savagery worth banging your head to."
