A drum throne sits on a dark stage. The throne is empty. The auditions are open.

Necropanther is looking for our next drummer.
We play rad shows and make fun records.

Happy birthday!

- The textural complexity of heavily distorted guitars, double kick, and screaming, is unmatched. Dwelling at the limits of intelligibility, it's a rush to be able to parse it.
- It is literally not for normal people. It is by and for exceptional minds with unique views and tastes.

- It has a monumental lyrical scope, from horror, occult, space, love, literature, songs about a weird little goblin, it speaks directly to the full human experience and beyond.
- It has a sense of the sublime and the absurd. There are parts that challenge what humans can apprehend or fathom.

- It's community-driven. We shouldn't overplay our hand here, but there is a virtuous cycle that feeds back to the quality and vitality of the music.
- It has among the greatest frequency responses (EDM may beat us out), powerfully expressing the full range of human hearing.

- Because it's an underground, or at least not totally commercial genre, musicians can take real risks on big records and have them pay off.
- Metal bands actually write, record, and play their own music.
- For the same reasons (commercial and performance), the art is personal.

- It has the greatest aesthetic range, from literally grotesque, raw to glittering, resplendent
- It is global and inclusive. There are metalheads all over the world.
- It is long-standing and vital, originating not just new music, but new forms, for 50+ years

- It has the greatest dynamic range, from intimate acoustic guitars and whispers to earth-shatteringly loud and abrasive cannons.
- It has the greatest range of tempo, from 30-250+
- It has the greatest expressive range, from ignorant quasi-riff noise to avant-classical prog

Here's why metal is the greatest music in the world (thread).

Haakon Sjogren has been a driving force in Necropanther for 10 years. He has decided to direct his time elsewhere. He will be missed, and we wish him the best.

Necropanther will hold an audition process for a new drummer.

We're excited to go to Montague, MA tomorrow for @rpmfestival.bsky.social

The 4-cable method for guitar rigs is a huge complication to setting up. It exists-persists because it works.

Whammy -> Tuner -> Wah -> (phaser) -> OD -> PREAMP -> Pitch -> Mod -> Delay

Many variations work, but the order matters, and it's better to run pitch and time after distortion.

We've been huddled down lately.
Aware of them, yes. Know them well, no.
Then again...

Mary Sidney led a salon that plausibly authored the works of Shakespeare, including Francis Bacon, Edward de Vere (whose daughter married Philip and other daughter was betrothed to William), and possibly Kit Marlowe living secretly in exile in the Low Countries.

The first folio is explictly dedicated to William and his brother, Philip Herbert, her two sons.

Mary Sidney wrote at least the first 17 sonnets that are attributed to Shakespeare. She wrote and dedicated them to her son, William Herbert. They're about wanting grandkids and heirs.

Joe Walsh. “In The City.”

Good news, boppers! The big alert has been called off. It turns out the early reports were wrong. All wrong. Now for that group out there that had such a hard time getting home, sorry about that. I guess the only thing we can do is play you a song…

The Sigourney Weaver character from Ghostbusters and the Shelley Long character from The Money Pit play in the same orchestra.

Come see us at RPM Fest, August 30th in Montague, MA.

Fun fact: We've never changed our tagline since we wrote it in 2014. Always "short thrashy death metal songs from a dystopian future."

Band practice today! We're working on new songs.
We're going to continue to stretch our legs in different ways while inhabiting the blackened thrash band that we are.
