As the millennium turned, Necro 2000 marked both ending and beginning - death imagery presiding over Merzbow's laptop era birth. The "Necro" prefix invokes death and decay; the year "2000" signals apocalyptic transition. Y2K anxieties, millennial dread, end-of-history discourse - all contributed to the moment's charged atmosphere.
These morbid associations belie the forward-looking nature of recordings demonstrating that digital transition maintained continuity with Merzbow's essential characteristics. The old Merzbow died; the new Merzbow rose from its ashes, carrying the same spirit in transformed form.
