Necrovomit 666 is the one-man project of Victor Skullcrusher, beginning in raw black metal territory with the 2023 debut Death to Mankind before rapidly expanding into black/death and grindcore on a string of releases including Witchcraft and Blood, Satanic Slaughter, and splits with acts like Amorth and Satanic Empire.
