1. Do you like your music being labeled brutal death metal or do you think that it is too narrow?
Yes and no, yes because we do incorporate a lot of aggressive and intricate stuff in our songs, but then again we do have some melodic parts too, we don't want to be held to just writing a certain style of music all the time, we like to experiment with a lot of different styles of music, black, death, grind, hardcore, etc.
2. How has the "Demo 2002" been doing since its release?
Since the release of our demo it has been doing really well, we have a pretty good following out here because of it, we have been sending it all over the place, to people in other countries, radio shows, fanzines, etc… just who ever wants a copy, It is being played on some radio stations out here, 89.9 KUNM; Tomb Stone Rock, (very brutal radio show) and also on 104.7 The Edge on there local hour, and our shows seem to be getting bigger every time we play.
3. How did your music change when Bill left the band and was replaced by Wayne?
When Wayne came into the band, we think that the music has gotten more and more technical and intricate with every new song that we write he is very unique in his style of lead playing, as you will see on our next CD. He is a really good fit for us.
4. How important is having a good technique with your instruments for Necromemisis music?
It is extremely important to have a good technique with our instruments so that we can pull off some of the intricate and technical stuff, that we incorporate within our music.
5. How were the songs in "Demo 2002" composed?
They were composed in 2001, they had been written by all four of us, Ian Andres, Nick, and Bill, all of us pretty much knew how to play different instruments, so we just through all of our idea's together, and in July 2002 we went to a local studio (Third Eye Creations) and recorded our demo.
6. Do you have new material to be recorded?
Ever since the release of our demo we have been playing a lot of shows, but as of late we have written some new songs, and we have a lot of other idea's that we are working on, we are going to be recording here pretty soon, the new material is very sick and brutal, and should be available soon, check the website for updates.
