Necrosis
Tempo: 138 BPM
Tuning: Drop F
Feel: mid-tempo deathcore with progressive dissonance. Think Lorna Shore’s colder, more surgical moments mixed with the weight of a body that’s actively failing you. No clean choruses. No hope. Just the sound of something rotting while it’s still walking.
[0:00 – Intro]
Slow, detuned open-string feedback that never quite resolves. A single high harmonic keeps stabbing in the left speaker like a nerve that won’t shut up. No drums yet. Just the sound of something dying in real time.
[0:28 – Verse 1]
(low, almost spoken growls, dry and close)
I wake up already losing
Skin that doesn’t answer when I call
Every joint a quiet mutiny
Every step a controlled fall
The frost is in the wiring now
It never leaves, it only spreads
I used to outrun the silence
Now the silence lives in my legs
[1:02 – Pre-Chorus]
(double-time kicks under the riff, still restrained)
You don’t get to keep what you love
You only get to watch it slow
[1:14 – Chorus]
(full force, stacked lows + high screams on the last line of each couplet)
This is not a wound
This is the body rewriting the terms
This is not a season
This is the permanent firm
Necrosis doesn’t ask permission
It just takes the room
I am still here
But I am no longer the one who moves
[1:48 – Verse 2]
(same dry delivery, slightly more exhausted)
They keep saying “manage it”
Like pain is a dog I can train
Like the fire under the skin
Is something I can rename
I have maps of every hallway
I no longer climb the stairs
The upstairs is a country
That closed its borders years ago
[2:22 – Pre-Chorus]
You don’t get to keep what you love
You only get to watch it slow
[2:34 – Chorus]
This is not a wound
This is the body rewriting the terms
This is not a season
This is the permanent firm
Necrosis doesn’t ask permission
It just takes the room
I am still here
But I am no longer the one who moves
[3:08 – Breakdown]
(tempo drops to half-time, pure violence)
(eight bars of pure palm-muted open notes, then)
Stay down
Stay down
The floor is the only honest thing left
Stay down
Stay down
Your legs already signed the treaty
(final hit + abrupt silence for two full bars)
[3:42 – Bridge]
(almost whispered, single voice, no instruments except a low pulse)
I used to think the end would be loud
I was wrong
It is quiet
And it is already here
[4:05 – Final Chorus]
(everything maxed, one last higher scream layer on the last line)
This is not a wound
This is the body rewriting the terms
This is not a season
This is the permanent firm
Necrosis doesn’t ask permission
It just takes the room
I am still here
But I am no longer the one who moves
[4:40 – Outro]
