Formed in 2020 in Silkeborg, Denmark, NECKBREAKKER, consists of Christoffer Kofoed (Vocals), Sebastian Knoblauch (Bass), Anton ’Hajn’ Bregendorf (Drums), Joakim Kaspersen (Guitar) and Johan Lundvig (Guitar).
Despite not having released a single song up until this point, NECKBREAKKER have found themselves at the forefront of the underground metal scene, thanks to their growing reputation of delivering blistering live shows.
The young death metal band have already found themselves touring alongside the likes of Crypta, BAEST and Left To Die, as well as claiming slots on festivals such as Hellfest, Resurrection Fest, Bloodstock Open Air, Summer Breeze, Copenhell, Mystic Festival, Dynamo Metal Fest, Roskilde, Sweden Rock Festival, Tuska Festival and Inferno festival, as they rip and tear their way across the continent.
Now, having caught the eye of metal titan Nuclear Blast Records, NECKBREAKKER are gearing up to release their hotly anticipated debut album, Within The Viscera, on December 6th.
On the release of their debut album and their signing to Nuclear Blast Records, the band comments:
“As we were creating Within The Viscera it is fair to say we felt a certain amount of pressure. A pressure to deliver an album that could live up to the hype this band has been building since we started playing shows, a pressure to not lessen the raw impact of the songs by finally putting them in a studio setting, and most importantly to make a debut album we could be proud of.
We had the vision set, and we know we wanted to do it right. And we believe we have.
Produced by Andreas Linnemann and mixed/mastered by Josh Middleton,
Within The Viscera is our strongest material, and we hope the joy we had creating it shines through.
Having the record released on the Nuclear Blast roster is a dream come true for us, and we're honoured to be a part of the incredible roster alongside legends, including some of
our favourite bands. The entire team’s passion and support has been incredible, and has played a big part in realizing the vision we had for the record.”
Within The Viscera is a violent maelstrom of youthful death metal that encapsulates the feeling of the band’s explosive live shows, combining the undeniable influence of classic Scandinavian death metal with the white-knuckle intensity and crunching grooves of modern hardcore. Swirling, intricate leads clash with bone shattering breakdowns, furious double kicks and throat shredding vocals to create nine tracks of no bullshit metal that are set to catapult NECKBREAKKER out of the underground and onto the global metal stage.
