Necrosis is a Chilean thrash metal band, active from 1985 to 1990 and from 1999 to present, in the denominated "thrasher scene" characterized by rebellion against the dictatorship and organized society. Necrosis and bands like Pentagram, Dorso, Torturer, Warpath, Massakre and Rust helped to the Chilean thrash metal massification.
Necrosis was formed in 1985, but only in 1987 the group started a professional job, when the brothers Andy and Pepe Nacrur from the popular band Massakre starts with vocalist Andrés Marchant the efforts to disseminate the successful demo tape Kingdom of Hate (). Necrosis and bands like Rust, Pentagram, Warpath, Massakre and Back were the most successful of the time and the most known abroad. Necrosis line-up at the time was Andy Nacrur (drums), Nataniel Infante (guitar), Pepe Nacrur (guitar), Rodrigo Westphal (bass) and Andrés Marchant (vocals). The demo Kingdom of Hate had a big impact in Chile and rave reviews in foreign magazines such as the famous Morbid Magazine in those years, where it is among the top 25 demos of the world in 1987, ranking at No. 19. Necrosis performed several gigs in the country and sold 1500 copies of the demo tape, unprecedented at the time (especially for a band playing music considered "extreme").
In early 1988, Andrés Marchant travels to Brazil on vacation and brings some copies of the demo Kingdom of Hate. In Brazil, a country considered a big market for the worldwide underground metal movement, the label Heavy Metal Maniac Records (now Hellion Records) was interested in releasing a Necrosis LP, which would be recorded in Chile and produced in Brazil. In March 1988, Necrosis signed a deal to record the first full-length album from a Chilean thrash metal band abroad. The album, titled The Search (), was recorded in July 1988 and was released as a vinyl record. 3500 copies were distributed in Brazil and Chile. To support the release of The Search, Heavy Metal Maniac Records and producer Moisés Dell Monica organized a big concert in São Paulo in February 1989, at a place called Projeto Leste, with capacity for 5000 people. That night Necrosis were the protagonists of a show that also featured local bands MX, Korzus and Ratos de Porão. A few days before the concert the stellar group of the show, Kreator, declined. Necrosis was the closing act.
