The Necromancers Tour Starts Sept. 19; Playing Up in Smoke & Keep it Low

We’re just about a week removed from the release of the debut album from The Necromancers, Servants of the Salem Girl, via Ripple Music, and hey, no time like the present for the French outfit to announce a European tour supporting the record. They start out Sept. 19 in their native Poitiers and are go-go-go from there, making their way across France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Germany as support for Swiss-based progressive instrumentalists Monkey3. Good gig to get, and all the better since their tour also includes slots on the Up in Smoke and Keep it Low festivals, where no doubt they’ll be in top form, having just spent the prior week-plus on the road. Seems like they’re doing it right on all the way through.

The PR wire has background and whatnot, and if you haven’t heard Servants of the Salem Girl, it’s streaming in its entirety at the bottom of this post. Please feel free to dig in:

THE NECROMANCERS: French heavy psych quartet announce European tour with Monkey3 | Debut album out now on Ripple Music

Drawing on antiquated inspirations in mythology, religion, fantastical tales from European literature and an obsession for classic horror cinema, The Necromancers are a curious alliance of musicians, and together are a strange beast to behold.

Experimenting with progressive rock, heavy psych and the 70s pagan/proto-metal of bands like Black Sabbath and Coven, they take these influences, throw in the urgency of NWOBHM and douse the entire lot in lysergic illusions. All with a mind to create a debut album for the ages.

Having performed at many of Europe’s largest metal and rock festivals the band also toured Europe recently with London-based stoner rockers Elephant Tree and are set to embark on a short tour this year with Monkey 3.

“The band is still young,” explains vocalist and guitar player Tom Cornière. “We never would have thought of signing with a label like Ripple. We could hardly have hoped for better. It’s an honour and a surprise. Now, we are looking forward to the next tour and to be able to share our album wherever we can.”

Servants of the Salem Girl by The Necromancers is out now via Ripple Music on limited edition, multi-coloured vinyl and worldwide in a black vinyl edition, as well as on CD and digital.
