Natron

Natron's debut album 'Hung Drawn & Quartered' to be reissued

Time To Kill Records is excited to join forces with Italian death metallers Natron for the imminent release for the first time ever on vinyl format of 'Hung, Drawn & Quartered', the band's legendary debut album (originally released in late 1997 via Headfucker Records).

Natron's first effort has been fully remastered by renowned Italian producer Marco Mastrobuono (Hour Of Penance, Inno) and is presented to you via Time To Kill Records as a glorious limited edition LP (classic black and purple) and on digital format.

Says drummer Max Marzocca:

"When 'Hung, Drawn & Quartered' came out people were like 'Dude, where are you gonna go with this?'. And they were quite right!
In 1997 with their schizoid death metal Natron sounded completely out of place in the metal scene. At this point we were just three pot-heads playing music which was way more complex and technical than our real skills, lyrics and imagery were ridiculously gory but we did not care that much, we loved brutality and were encouraged by our craziness to expand our music territories somehow, and mainly having a lot of fun.
That was still the time before any editing or whatever embellishment became a standard in death metal, production is muddy and sounds more like a rehearsal with one mike to record everything but hey, I've got great memories of this record!
This was our first official release after years of militancy in the underground, we were Headfucker Magazine favourites in that moment, our fanbase was growing and Holy Records found out about the band with this album, signed us and took us to the next level. That's why we're very excited about this vinyl release after 24 years, enjoy it and keep on rotting, fellas!"
