Necropolis

This episode features Charles Shelley from the site Hate Meditations as the main guest, but also included is Raphael Alecto (editor of Hessian Firm) as a kind of fly on the wall cohost. I had a lot of fun with this episode. This was also the first international Necroplis episode. We discussed some brainy aspects about metal, philosophy, metal, dungeon synth, metal, psychology, metal, classical music, metal etc in a casual conversational atmosphere. Check it out!

In this episode of Necropolis, Mike Poggione from Monstrosity (+10,000,000 other bands) joins to discuss his life as a professional bassist. We discuss some of his bands, life in Eastern Europe, and some finer aspects about the Tampa metal scene. Also included at the end is an unreleased Eulogy song.

Sleepwalker from A Transylvanian Funeral, Temple of Abraxas, and Forbidden Records joins to discuss his music, mysticism, entrepreneurship, etc. A very delightful guest to have on Necropolis.

Arguably Texas’ best metal drummer, Dobber Beverly joins to discuss his bands (Oceans of Slumber, Nercrofier, Insect Warfare, etc), his background, general atmosphere in music today, classical music, as well as a lot of other things! A great chat was had with this fellow Texan!

Necropolis is my new podcast where I interview interesting people from all spectrums of extreme metal. Being that I am an outlier in the metal scene (I’m not in any metal bands), I feel that I present a musician’s perspective without being involved with the industry too much. The first episode was conducted with the immensely talented Jesse Jolly from BlightMass, Amon, After Death, Crimson Massacre, Diabolic, Blastmasters, Lull Me To Larvae, Promethean Horde, etc. We discussed his background in-depth with him starting out as just a kid from the hills of Tennessee to someone who has been called ‘the future of metal’ by George Fisher (Corpsegrinder) from Cannibal Corpse. This episode is a must-hear for people interested in what the general Tampa death metal scene is like.
