Necropolis

Necropolis was from right here in NB Canada and formed sometime around early 1997.Featuring my childhood friends Joe and Dale and myself on bass with Seb on drums.The early stages of Necropolis was mostly a thrash speed metal oriented sound.Heavy influences from both Slayer and Sepultura could be clearly heard.We played the first show together at Noise Fest 98.Soon not long after that event the recordings for Destined Regrets began,eventually i was given leave before adding bass tracks and started focusing on my doom band Slough of Despond.Paul who played guitar in Slough of Despond respectfully filled the the bass spot for Necropolis and played in both bands.After the album was finished cd's were made and the band started playing more shows.Some of the bands they played with were local band Earth A.D. and Initial Distrust and later a metal fest in Halifax NS with Quebec technical thrash metallers Martyr.This created a local buzz around the band and a certain mystique around the band name.Everywhere in the local scene people where talking about Necropolis.Eventually the band evolved their sound into a Machine Head type sound and recorded a second demo in this style which was never released.Over the last few years since 2007 Dale and i have been archiving as much stuff as we can and i have helped put together a myspace page and a facebook group page.So here we are 14 yrs later Dale & Joe are still playing in a band called Red Savannah!
