EMQ’s With Necrambulant
Hi everyone! Welcome to another EMQs interview, this time with USA Slam band, Necrambulant. Huge thanks to their Guitarist, Ron, for taking part.
What is your name, what do you play and can you tell us a little bit about the history of the band?
Ron, Guitar here. The original line-up (Chad, Andy, and myself) was in other bands within the AZ local scene. We got together and formed Necrambulant with the intention of being Brutal Death Metal with some Tech elements the likes of early Decapitated. The project quickly devolved into a Slam band within the first jam sessions and the rest is history.
How did you come up with your band name?
The name was created by the founder/original bass player of the band Chad Eklund (formerly of Meathook and Viraemia), it is the combination of Necro-Ambulant, a fancy way to say “Zombie”.
What Country / Region are you from and what is the Metal / Rock scene like there?
Phoenix, AZ, US. What scene? We’re all here to play Death Metal and party!

If you could play any festival in the world, which would you choose and why?
Obscene Extreme, always amazing bands, plus ultimate party.
What’s the weirdest gift you have ever received from a fan?

If you had one message for your fans, what would it be?
Get violent.
If you could bring one rock star back from the dead, who would it be?

Time for a very British question now. As an alternative to the humble sandwich, is the correct name for a round piece of bread common in the UK either a Bap, a Barm (or Barm Cake), a Batch, a Bun, a Cob, a Muffin, a Roll, or a Tea Cake?
Barm
Thank you for your time. Is there anything else that you would like to add?
Stay true, and stay brutal. Make your stance in history and support bands that keep the old school alive. Don’t be a poser.
