EPISODE 82 NECROMIRE
Back in the home studio with Louisiana’s own NECROMIRE. Necromire is a death metal band that includes musicians from different parts of the state. These guys have a unique blend of death metal that is equal parts of riff heavy chugs and carefully crafted melodic solo madness. I was able to catch one of their performances in Lafayette, LA and the gents of Necromire did not disappoint. We had a fun time over here at headquarters. In the conversation, we did our best to maintain our composure, but it was a damn madhouse. Enjoy our conversation, hear how they got started and stay for the laughs.

The band was gracious to share an hour of their time with me for a cozy conversation. We discuss all of their music and art backgrounds.
