history

The history of Necropolis Records started in 1989 with Thinds Fanzine Necropolis . Thind kept receiving demos from various bands like Sentenced or Convulse . Overall, only two issues of the fanzine appeared from 1990 to 1992. Before the third edition was completed, Thind decided to start a label himself to give these bands a chance to release albums. The first band called Demilich signed a contract in February 1993. The first release was the EP Angelcunt (Tales of Desecration) by Archgoat . As a fanzine writer, Thind had numerous contacts with various bands. A 7 ″ single from Beherit followed . Since Thind had good relations with Jon Nödtveidt from Dissection , an album of the project The Black , in which Nödtveidt helped out, was released on Necropolis Records. Thind was also good friends with Patrik Jensen from the seance . Jensen told him about a band called Dawn from his hometown, so they signed it. Thind was also able to convince Jensen to reunite his black metal band called Satanic Slaughter .

The label suffered some trouble from a Thinds nervous breakdown, making it currently inactive. In addition, there were rumors that Thind had left the country and dissolved the label. Necropolis Records also owns the sub-label Deathvomit Records.
