Over the past decade, Necro has established himself as one of the most successful crossover artists from the hip-hop genre and is now also a massive cult figure amongst fans of metal and hardcore music thanks to his controversial, brutal lyrical content.


With almost no commercial radio support, Necro fans flock online to keep up to date with news and he has now formed an immense online community through his website (100+ million hits a year) and MySpace which surpasses that of most multi-platinum artists.

 

After his notorious sold-out Australian shows in 2007 which most punters are still just recovering from, the king of controversy returns to solidify himself as one of the most engaging, unique and provocative entities this generation of Australians will ever see.
