NECROSANCT WERE FORMED IN EARLY I989 AS A FOUR PIECE. DRAWING ON INFLUENCES AS VARIED AS BATHORY, KREATOR, NAPALM DEATH AND REPULSION, THEY SOON HAD A UNIQUE GRINDCORE SOUND. HAILING FROM THE UK, NECROSANCT SOON CREATED A LOT OF INTEREST. - THIS HERALDED THE RATHER ILL FATED LP "EQUAL IN DEATH".
DUE TO THE LACK OF PROPER DISTRIBUTION AND THE LOW RECORDING BUDGET IT RECEIVED NO PUBLICITY AND WAS NOT RELEASED PROPERLY: THIS WAS PROBABLY JUST AS WELL AS THE BANDS LINE UP AND SOUND CHANGED DRAMATICALLY JUST AFTER THE RELEASE. |

| MAY 1991 SAW NECROSANCT ON THE ROAD PLAYING WITH CANCER/UNLEASHED AND BENEDICTION. THE CROWDS REACTION FORCED NECROSANCT, IN JUNE '91, TO RECORD THE DEMO "EXITERNITY". THIS WAS FORWARDED TO ALL THE LEADING FANZINES AND PRESS. AFTER RECEIVING VERY FAVORABLE REVIEWS AND AFTER A TRIP TO SWEDEN, NECROSANCT WERE SIGNED TO THE ACCLAIMED BLACK MARK PRODUCTION LABEL.
BLACK MARK WERE LOOKING FOR THE DIRTIEST, MOST FUCK OFF BAND IN ENGLAND ...AND THEY GOT IT. APRIL 1992 SAW THE RELEASE OF THE MOST AWESOME DEATH METAL PLATTER OF THE NINETIES . TITLED "INCARNATE". |

'INCARNATE' WAS RECORDED AT THE MONTEZUMA STUDIOS IN STOCKHOLM, ENGINEERED BY REX AND PRODUCED BY BOSS. NECROSANCT FOLLOWED THE RELEASE WITH A SERIES OF LIVE PERFORMANCES ACROSS EUROPE.
NOTHING COULD STOP THEM AT THIS POINT MATERIAL FOR THE EPIC CD 'DESOLATE' WAS WRITTEN. AGAIN RELEASED THROUGH BLACK MARK AND RECORDED AT MONTEZUMA. |

THIS TIME THE SOUND OF DESOLATE WAS HEAVIER AND MORE PRODUCED THAN THE RAW INCARNATE, BUT NONE OF THE SHEER BRUTALITY AND INTENSITY WAS LOST. |
WHATS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE?
Microcosm - A tight 3 piece technical/progressive deathmetal band formed guitarist by Cal
Umbah - Cal's studio project - more death/grind - with a difference
